How many of Glenn McGrath's 400-odd wickets have been catches?

 

[Willow]

403 wickets to be exact... how many were caught?

 

[imported_Outlaw]

279 of 403 were caught dissmisals.

 

[Willow]

I've got 280 but 279 is close enough.

 

[ozbash]

shane warne tried to claim the 280th catch as legit when in fact it was a bump ball.

cheating fat little bastard............

 

[imported_Outlaw]

I just re-checked my source again Willow, and 279 is still the number I come up with. But you may also be correct depending on the source we are both using. Obviously different I see. Thanks for the kind gesture anywaymate

I'm a little tied up now all. I'll look for a question a little later this morning and postone about luchtime or so.
Cheers.

Sorry folks. I've been meaning to post a question but I've had exams this week. I'll try and come up with one now and post it shortly.

 

[imported_weasel]

Only four centuries have been scored by English Batsmen in the last two Ashes series. Name the players who scored them.

 

[imported_Outlaw]

Ramprakash - Stewart - Butcher - Hussain

 

[imported_weasel]

I was actually looking for Ramprakash, Stewart and Butcher twice, although I guess my question seemed to be asking for four different players and Hussain was the last english batsman to have scored a ton against us before then. So you can have it . Over to you Outlaw.
