Is Shaw dismissing Blackham, the wicket-keeper who stumped him, in the same test what you're looking for?

Or perhaps stumped off an opening bowler?

No

And while he was, that's not the reason either

 

[fredfertang]

Shaw was also stumped by Blackham in the second Test so is it first man to be stumped in successive Tests?

 

[fredfertang]

...... or even successive innings come to that

 

[Jarquis]

Nope
But the second Test is the relevant one, there's your clue.

 

[fredfertang]

Well he was stumped while opening the batting from the bowling of Spofforth, a quick bowler, which is unusual - or could it be something to do with the fact that Spofforth had refused to play in the first Test because Murdoch wasn't selected as keeper, and although Spofforth and Murdoch played in the second Blackham retained the gauntlets?

 

[Jarquis]

Spofforth is the relevant bowling.

But now to find out why he was relevant and who the last person to have suffered the fate is etc etc..

Distinct lack of yes/no questions

 

[G.I.Joe]

I can't see how Spofforth fits in, but does the fact that Shaw was sent in as nightwatchman have anything to do with it?

 

[G.I.Joe]

The stumping of Shaw provided Spofforth with his maiden wicket in Test cricket. So, is the unique aspect that Shaw was the first batsman to gift a maiden wicket to a debutant bowler by way of a stumping?

Now to discover the person to suffer the fate most recently..

 

[G.I.Joe]

Now to find out the latest instance.

Now to find out the latest instance.

Don't research
Play the game

 

[G.I.Joe]

I can't even recall the last bowler before Praveen to make his debut recently, let alone look for a stumping.

 

[Howe_zat]

Was the bowler a spinner? Bishoo?

 

[Jarquis]

The bowler was a spinner
But not Bishoo

 

[Howe_zat]

Hmm. Trying to think of spinners to have debuted lately, and I don't think Doherty or Beer got a stumping. Randiv?

You've got to tell me if it was ages ago or we'll be here a while

 

[zaremba]

So tempted to look this up. I can't help thinking it was one if the Aussies.

D'oherty?

 

[Jarquis]

Indeed, Randiv.

 

[Jarquis]

The bloke has taken about 2 Test wickets people.. come on.

 

[Howe_zat]

Was it an Indian or a West Indian?

 

[Jarquis]

What I have in mind is that instead of running after search engines or trying to get the answer by hitting in the dark, we allow everyone to ask questions from the QM. The condition being that the questions are answerable in YES or NO or NOT APPLICABLE.

But Indian
