No wonder this question proved so tough.

Dempster NEVER captained New Zealand.

Cricketinfo is wrong. nIUn his first six tests he played under the captaincy of TC Lowry and in the last four under ML Page. He himself was never the captain.

Agree , Cricinfo was wrong in saying he was captain!!

But after several clues everyone was struggling, and several clues were given to help reach the answer!!! :)

So I wouldn't say just that piece of information was making the question difficult !! :D :D
