Stumped. He was on 99 at lunch, then 40 minutes after lunch he was still on 99. In desperation, he charged down the wicket to Phil Tufnell, missed it, and was stumped by Jack Russell.

Which Kiwi Keepers played the most test matches for New Zealand?

Asked by munna in Cricket & Other Sports at 11:59 AM on November 28, 2008

Satyakam's Answer

Adam Parore. Parore played 78 Tests from 1990-2002, Smith 63 from 1980 to 1992, Lees 21 from 1976 to 1983. Ken Wadsworth would have probably played more than the 27 he did, from 1969 to 1976, as he died of leukaemia at the tragically early age of 29, when just reaching his prime.

Which was the name of the international cricket ground in New Plymouth?

Asked by munna in Cricket & Other Sports at 12:02 PM on November 28, 2008

Satyakam's Answer

Pukekura Park. Only one ODI has been played there with Sri Lanka defeating Zimbabwe, at the 1992 World Cup chasing 315. The ground was deemed too small for international cricket, but it is one of the beautiful cricket grounds in the world.
