Quiz! Bowlers with the most first-innings wickets in Tests

by Wisden Staff 5 minute play

Twenty five bowlers have taken 100 or more wickets in the first innings of a Test match. The list is led by a spinner who is also the highest wicket-taker in the format.

We give you the career span of the player and the number of first innings wickets he has. Only one player has recorded over 200 wickets in the first innings of Test matches.

Four of them have played Tests this year and should come easily to you. There are a few stumbling blocks along the way, though.
