List of international cricket five-wicket hauls at Old Wanderers
In
A total of 40 five-wicket hauls were taken during the 22 Test matches played on the ground. Three five-wicket hauls were taken during the ground's first Test match in 1896. South Africa's George Rowe took the first, taking five wickets for the cost of 115 runs (5/115) from 49 five-ball overs during the first innings of the match. England's George Lohmann and Christopher Heseltine both took five-wicket hauls later in the match, Lohmann becoming the first player to take nine wickets in a Test match innings with his 9/28, figures which were not bettered until Jim Laker took all 10 wickets in an innings against Australia at Old Trafford in 1956.[a][5]
The ground also saw a new record for best Test match bowling figures in 1913 when England's Sydney Barnes took 17 wickets in a match. These have only been bettered by Laker, who took 19 wickets in the match against Australia in 1956.[6][7]
