Quiz! Most Test wickets as an opening bowler

In this quiz, you’ll have to name the players with the most wickets as an opening bowler in Test cricket. Can you?

We set the cut-off to a minimum of 200 wickets, meaning there are 38 players you have to name. The list is full of pace bowlers, unsurprisingly, and just as obviously, very few sub-continent bowlers feature in this one.

A lot of these players are absolute legends of the game, so you should have no problems scoring high. We’ve revealed each player’s total wickets as an opening bowler, as well as their teams and the span in which they opened the bowling for their sides.

All the best!
