Ravi Shastri sounds about right (the 206 score rings a bell), but if not, ill go with David Boon (im sure he kept stumps a few times)

Romesh Kaluwitharana rings a rough bell as well. lol, how many guesses can i have?

Sorry all.
Ravi Shastri is the correct answer. Well done Tigertread.
Sorry if people thought the word "stumping" was a clue. It wsn't. I didn't mean to misslead anyone.
Sorry also for the delay in responding also. Our PC at home has crashed big time and I'm posting this from a neighbours house.
Be back when I can

Who's next?

 

[imported_Lord Ted.]

Excuse me for butting in,but here we go.
Which bowler has 246 wickets representing what country?

 

[imported_Lord Ted.]

P.S.
The above question does not fall within the basic guidelines of having occurred within the last 15 years.

The number rings a distant bell...Richie Benaud(Australia)??

 

[imported_Lord Ted.]

This stuff is all from memory.
Richie used to be the best at 248 wickets.
The bloke I am referring to wasn't a spinner,but was controversially dropped prior to overtaking Benaud.
Nothing will ever convince me that Benaud isn't a egotistical hypocrite in the same league as Bradman.
I can't stand a bar of either of the cu*ts.

 

[imported_JoeD]

Seeing as how there has been not much activity for a couple of days I figure nobody knows the answer so I cheated and looked it up.

Garth McKenzie (Australia)

 

[CyberKev]

Garth? I always thought it was Graham (Graeme?) McKenzie...

JoeD,
I'm pleased to see the records coincide with my memory.
Awaiting your question.
I'm also assuming that my butting in was acceptable.

In the early 1990s their was a well covered exhibition match amongst cricket players and sporting celebrities including Fatty Vautin and Peter Sterling.

Who took Brian Lara's wicket?
