In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer") refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[3] This article details the five-wicket hauls taken on the ground in official international Test and One Day International matches.
The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match on the ground was Sri Lankan Rumesh Ratnayake, who took six wickets for 66 runs (6/66) in the first Test played on the ground. Australian Merv Hughes also took a five-wicket haul in the same match.[4] The best innings bowling figures in a Test were the 6/31 taken by Shane Warne in 1993 against New Zealand.[2][5]
The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in an ODI was Ottis Gibson who took 5/42 for the West Indies against Sri Lanka in 1996,[6] one of only two five-wicket hauls taken in ODIs on the ground. As of February 2020 no five-wicket hauls have been taken in T20I matches or in any women's international match on the ground.
