I noticed that Matt Henry’s 11 wickets in the Oval Test were made up of only six batsmen. Has anyone else done this? asked Robert Neville from New Zealand
That’s a good spot: in the second Test at The Oval last month, New Zealand’s Matt Henry dismissed Jofra Archer, Harry Brook, Jordan Cox, Joe Root and Josh Tongue in both innings, and Matt Fisher in the second. Henry is only the second bowler to take 11 wickets in a Test with only six different victims, the other being the West Indian spinner Sonny Ramadhin against England at Lord’s in 1950. He accounted for Alec Bedser, Hubert Doggart, Bill Edrich, Godfrey Evans and Cyril Washbrook in both innings, and Roly Jenkins in the second.
