TBH, when I asked the question I expected it to by a "yes" for either one of the countries or "no" if it was neither but anyway...

Did this player represent his country post World War II?

Q11) Is it Sammy Guillen? Is he unique 'cos he's the only player to have played for NZ & The Windies?

EDIT: Actually is he the only player to secure a country's first test win with a stumping?

Q12 Is he unique 'cos he's the only player to have played for NZ & The Windies? No.He's the only player to have played for the 2 countries, but that's not the reason why he's unique !

EDIT: Actually is he the only player to secure a country's first test win with a stumping?

This is not the answer either, although it may be true ! :)

Q14 Does his uniqueness concern his period of qualification for New Zealand? No. :) (I know you are referring to the fact that when he played for NZ he had actually not completed his criteria for residency and was still only a West Indian visitor representing NZ. :D )

Hint 2 - He is one of 14 to have done something ! Out of those 14 he along with 2 others form an even more exclusive club of 3 .
And out of these 3, he becomes even more exclusive because only he has done this !! :D Phew! that clue should help !! :D

Should do, but I'm still none the wiser! :D

Ok:

Q15) Is it connected with him playing for more than one test nation?
Click to expand...
Yes.

Hint 3 to help finish this question in frustration :@ , despite sabotage by Tapioca :D -

He is one of 14 players who played for 2 countries. Out of those 14, only 3 have done something extra bit in that aspect. Then out those 3 only 1 (Sammy Guillen) has achieved this.
Message to Tapioca - OK Even if he was white, it doesn't matter, the question still stands ! He is the only person to have achieved this !! BTW could you provide an internet link to confirm your source that he is white !! :D Thanks.

Q16) Is he the only test player to beat both the test sides he's played for when playing for the oppo?
