All of these answers are wrong. Everyone here is answering a different question - who was the first person to take a wicket in TEST match cricket. The first person to take a wicket in cricket history is unknown, because nobody knows exactly how old cricket is! There are suggestions that it came over with the Normans as a form of croquet (explaining the similarity in the names), there are references to it or a similar game many, many times before Spofforth was even born!
These are all interesting answers - probably more interesting than mine! But they aren't the answer to THIS question...
