There is one other player who has taken more than 200 career test wickets, but not more than eight wickets in a test match. Who ?

It's funny, cos when I heard he had eight for, I thought that'd have to be really high on his best of list. I couldn't recall him taking a bag ever.

Dog, that 8/112 is from Australia vs Sri Lanka, Brisbane, 2007
He has previously take 8 for twice
8/123 vs NZ Hamilton 2000 (his 5th test)

Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2007 4:36 pmHas to be one of only three blokes as far as I can think. Darren Gough, Heath Streak or Garry Sobers.
None of them has a 10 for, and all comfortably past 200 wickets. Pretty sure Thommo got a 9-fer in one of those two series in Australia when he was the man in the mid 70s

So one of my three is right then, is what you're clearly saying.
Streak seems too obvious so skip him. I'm thinking Sobers might not have bowled enough over a whole match, since his batting was his main go, but I probably will go with Gough, mainly because the Poms were crap pretty much his whole career.

There are 10 bowlers who have taken 200 or more career test wickets, but have not taken 10 wickets in a match. Lee and Sobers are two, who are the other eight??

Well, I gave you Streak and Gough. Someone else had Thommo.
I'll also throw up Garner, Gillespie, Willis and Lindwall.
