No and no, I'd like to point out that the question breaks the 15 year rule and the record in question is the 'all time' test record not just the NZ record.

 

[imported_midas]

"All -time record"? Joe ,you,re not being devious and re-claiming C V Grimmett are you?

 

[imported_JoeD]

Yep, you're right there Midas, Grimmett was born in Otago, NZ

Haven,t got any books with me at the moment solets try a general rules question.
Umpires warn bowlers and also batsmen for running on "the danger area".Anyone know what is regarded as "the danger area"?

 

[imported_JoeD]

What, you're saying you don't want Russ le Roq?

 

[Broncos-fan-baller]

Danger Area
The danger area on the pitch, which must be protected from damage by a bowler, shall be regarded by the umpires as the area contained by an imaginary line 4 feet/1.22 m from the popping crease, and parallel to it, and within two imaginary and parallel lines drawn down the pitch from points on that line 1 foot/30.48 cm on either side of the middle stump.
