Since I have no doubt that the above was the correct answer, I will go ahead and post next question. James90 can confirm the answer when he next visits the thread . 
Question
Who is the only wicket keeper in the history of Test cricket who became the leading wicket taker in an innings ? (By this I mean with the ball. Most wickets as a bowler.)
I am off to the movies, but will check answer afterwards .(Off to see Phantom of the opera the movie !!

Alfred Lyttleton the English wicket keeper who was put on to bowl against Australia when all else failed and grabbed 4 wickets for 19 runs in his 12 overs of which 5 were maidens. He was the 10th bowler to be put on to bowl in that Aussie innings of 551 with Arthur Shrewsbury being put on to bowl even after the keeper !! This was at The Brit Oval in August 1884.JASON said:Since I have no doubt that the above was the correct answer, I will go ahead and post next question.

OK. Which players holds the record for the highest number of ODI's played before getting a bowl? (i.e. he did bowl in a ODI at some stage in his career, but played a record number of ODI's before getting a bowl) Bonus points for the number.JASON said:Looks like you are absolutely right.
