Phurt. Knock yourself out with your own list. Haven't got that one handy.

Off to watch House.

Wasn't House on on Sunday night?

It's on any night you like when Fred** gets you the epi.

TGM and CBER have a mortgage on the bowlers who dismissed most batsmen in each position. Warnie has dismissed the most no. 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11 batsmen while Chuck has dismissed the most no. 3, 4, 6, 7 & 9 (equal with TGM) batsmen.

Quicky - who is the only bowler to dismiss more openers than Chuck?

Ooh, about 200. Cool

On a related theme, can you name the bowlers (there are two of them) who have taken most Test wickets without ever dismissing an opener?

Nah, not Candles. One of the two is an Aussie but.

Yardley?

by skully Wed 21 Apr 2010, 22:33

The Aussie of the two players who hold the record for the most Test wickets while never dismissing an opener is not Kerry O'Keeffe, Ray Bright or Bruce Yardley.

To speed this up, the two players took between 15 and 20 Test wickets.

by WideWally Wed 21 Apr 2010, 23:06

Johnny Martin?

by skully Wed 21 Apr 2010, 23:22

Indeed.

Most Test wickets without ever dismissing an opening batsman.

17 - JW Martin (Aus) & ?
