clarrie grimmett was born in nz but took 200 test wickets as an aussie,so this should not count. however richard hadlee was the first to reach the 200 mark whilst playing for nz
I feel that this is a trick question... Hadlee has of course taken over 200 well before the other current contenters, however let us not forget that Clarrie Grimmet is actually a New Zealander. He took 216 wickets between 1924 and 1926. My answer is Clarrie. :)
