List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Ian Botham
He made his international debut for England on 26 August 1976 in a One Day International (ODI) against the West Indies.[9] He made his Test cricket debut just under a year later against Australia,[10] and it was during the first innings of this match that he claimed his first international five-wicket haul.[11] It is against Australia that he has claimed the most five-wicket hauls, doing so on nine occasions. Three of these came during the 1981 Ashes series and, along with the two centuries he scored,[12] saw the series dubbed "Botham's Ashes".[13] He twice claimed eight wickets in an innings, playing at Lord's on each occasion, against Pakistan in 1978 and the West Indies in 1984. Including these performances, Botham has collected a five-wicket haul at Lord's eight times, more so than on any other ground.
Botham never managed to take five-wickets in an innings in ODI cricket, despite playing 116 matches and claiming 145 wickets,[14] making him England's seventh highest wicket-taker in the format.[15][note 1] His best return was four wickets, which he achieved on three occasions.[14]
