Wicketkeepers taking a Test wicket

By taking the wicket of Dwayne Bravo, Boucher thus provided only the 13th instance in Test annals when an officially named keeper for a Test took a wicket in the same match. He also became the ninth keeper in Test cricket’s history to take a Test wicket. For reader’s interest the accompanying table has the complete details.Click to see the table
