Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[SJS]

Actually, I didn't notice, but I framed the question wrongly... For someone, who's played more than 10 Tests...

OKAY. No problem.

Arthur Jarvis !!

1 stumping for every catch !!

11 Tests, 9 catches, 9 stumpings.

 

[Sudeep]

LOL. Wow! How did I miss that?

I seriously though Bert Oldfield was the one, with the best among all keepers who'd played more than 10 Tests.

 

[Sudeep]

Sorry for the confusion everyone. I seriously thought it was Bert Oldfield, followed by PK Sen.

 

[JASON]

SJS would you be posting the next question or do we go to my old question?

Or are you gathering a group for the QM type question session, rapid firing round.

No. Infact even with the mimimum 10 teswt condition there are others after Jarvis.

Percy Sherwell (S Africa) 13 Tests, 20 catches, 16 stumpings (Ratio 0.8)
Thomas Ward (S Africa) 23 tests, 19 catches, 13 stumpings. (Ratio 0.684)

Then there is

Blackham(Australia) 35 tests, 36 catches , 24 stumpings (Ratio same as Oldfields 2/3)

Only then comes Probir Sen with his Ratio of 0.55 (20 catches and 11 stumpings)

Sorry again guys

Should've done more research. @ myself...

Here's my question still on the old format (although I will endeavour to give clues if no-one gets them ).

Question -

In a Test series, marred by controversies in umpiring the fielding Team had a bowler who took bad sportsmanship to the extreme (after being no-balled and showing his displeasure several times) by running close to the umpire , so close that the batsman couldn't see him, and shouldering the umpire heavily. He ended up being suspended later. But the fielding Team refused to take the field after Tea on the third day and were finally persuaded to return 12 minutes late . Which Test or even which Teams ?

Clue - Bryce the answer is very close to home for you !

If everyone's interested we can do this question on line in a rapid fire round in the SJS format with 20 QM questions. Remember only yes/no answers from the QM.

Bryce I will give it to you, because none of the others have posted any questions.

I posted it shortly after our interaction this morning on the new format, expecting you to answer it . But you were not on the forum till now.
The Test concerned was the second Test NZ v West Indies Christchurch 1980. The bowler Was Colin Croft (as Bryce correctly stated), the umpire was Fred Goodall (very controversial in Test history in his own way for no balling India's Syed Abid Ali, when all along the Indian Team were infuriated that he didn't call Gary Bartlett a NZ bowler for throwing).
Here's the tail end of the extract from the scorecard alluding to this incident .
(just noticed Sudeep has posted same) (So I have deleted mine)

She's all yours now !!

Edit - Sorry SJS, Sudeep. That question was probably not appropriate for this type of fomat.

Looks like Bryce has got it.

Occasionally his volatility and enthusiasm for the bouncer got him into trouble, most notably when he kept the local infirmary busy while bowling for Guyana against the Australians in 1977-78, and again two winters later during an acrimonious tour of New Zealand, when he failed to veer out in his run and flattened the umpire Fred Goodall who had annoyed him

Jason..confirmation please ??
