PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa - West Indian Courtney Walsh became
the third highest wicket-taker in Test cricket yesterday.
Walsh captured three wickets in the morning after the South
Africans had been put in to bat on a seaming pitch in the second
Test.
Walsh dispatched Herschelle Gibbs (2), Gary Kirsten (29) and
Jacques Kallis (30).
His dismissal of Kirsten took the Jamaican fast-bowler to 384
Test wickets, one more than England's Ian Botham, who was in
third place on the all-time list of Test wicket-takers before
this match.
India's Kapil Dev is the leading wicket-taker on 434 with New
Zealand's Richard Hadlee second on 431.
