The next player, I meant. I spent a few minutes trying to word that question, and it still confuses. :) Not to worry, I can see how it can be interpreted differently.

Lillee is incorrect.

2 gary gilmour

hayden made his debut in SAF then I rekon they went somewhere on the sub continent so McGrath is out although he'd be close as the windies tour was close by....

I reckon it could be fleming, bevan or emery

Michael Bevan is the answer to no.7.

It's not Dravid for no.8 - a clue, you will have never heard of him!

And it's not Gary Gilmour either for No.2.

Wasn't his duck run ended when Shane Warne dropped him off Felimng's hat trick ball at Adelaide Oval?

6. I remember watching this game, and pretty sure it was a spinner.

Just a guess to be honest.

Abdur Razzak (Only Spinner i can be sure played that day)

Chappell is the right answer.

Steve Waugh isn't one of the remaining three.

Dogwatcher wrote:Wasn't his duck run ended when Shane Warne dropped him off Felimng's hat trick ball at Adelaide Oval?


No, he was the 2nd wicket in that, Srinath was dropped.

They are the remaining three, one dismissal each.

And Abdur Razzak is incorrect.

I'm going to give no.8, because you would be cheating to answer that question - it was Vivek Razdan who made his debut for India after Tendulkar. Razdan played a total of 2 Tests and 3 ODIs in his career.
