Ten-wicket haul

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In cricket, a ten-wicket haul occurs when a bowler takes ten wickets in either a single innings[1][2] or across both innings of a two-innings match.[3][4] The phrase ten wickets in a match is also used.[5]

Taking ten wickets in a match at Lord's earns the bowler a place on the Lord's honours boards.[6]

Ten wickets in a single innings[]

Taking all ten wickets in a single innings is rare. It has happened only three times in Test cricket.

Ten wickets across both innings of a match[]

Taking ten wickets across both innings of a match is more common, but is still a notable achievement. The bowler to achieve this feat the most in Test cricket was Muttiah Muralitharan, who did so 22 times.[5]
