Most consecutive five-wickets-in-an-innings
« on: November 15, 2013, 03:47:59 PM »
Shane Shillingford took his fifth consecutive five-for, and his sixth overall in Tests, in India's first innings. He is only the fourth bolwer in Test history to take five-wicket hauls in five or more consecutive innings. The last time a bowler achieved this was way back in 1953 when Alec Bedser took two against India and three against Australia. Charlie Turner of Australia holds the record for taking the most consecutive five-wicket hauls - he took five-fors in six consecutive innings against England in the Ashes in 1888. Click here for a list of bowlers with most consecutive five-wicket hauls.

CTB Turner   6 - 10 Feb 1888
T Richardson 5 - 1 Mar 1895
AV Bedser 5 - 17 Jul 1952
S Shillingford 5 - 12 Mar 2013
