    Pretty simple!

    His first-class career lasted from 1900 to 1907. In all he played 10 matches for MCC - 18 innings, 6 not-outs, 231 runs, highest score 43, average 19.25. He also took one wicket for 50 runs. Identify him. And if you identified him correctly, tell me whose wicket.

    Try not to google people. There is no fun then.

    arthur conan doyle
    the wicket was that of w.g. grace
    he was caught behind
    the wicket keeper's name was storer
    and no ppl i didnt google all this.after conan doyle had captured grace's wicket he was so elated that he wrote an elaborate poem describing the delivery and its result.its quite funny and you can find it in the centerfresh book of cricket lists by barry o brien and mudar patherya
