Ocelot Spleens 24 Oct 9:59am, 24 Oct 2024 39,801 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens Good question on TMS, the percentage of ALL test match players that have got more wickets than Aggers in test matches?
fetcheveryone 24 Oct 10:00am, 24 Oct 2024 31,178 posts	0 fetcheveryone I would guess (without looking) that he maybe picked up 10 across his Test appearances?
