List of international cricket five-wicket hauls at Sabina Park

Sabina Park is a 20,000-capacity cricket ground in Kingston, Jamaica. It is one of the grounds used by the West Indies cricket team and is owned by Kingston Cricket Club and the Jamaica Cricket Association. ^[1] The ground was first used in the 1880s and hosted its first Test match in 1930 when the West Indies played England in a timeless Test. ^{[2] [3] [a]} A single women's Test match was held at the ground in 1976. ^[2] One Day Internationals (ODIs) have been played at the ground since 1984 and Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) since 2014. ^[3]

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. ^[6] This article details the five-wicket hauls taken on the ground in official international matches. ^[b]

The first five-wicket haul to be taken on the ground in an international match was taken by West Indian Tommy Scott in the grounds first Test match in 1930. Scott took five wickets for 266 runs (5/266), bowling 80 overs in the game's first innings. ^[7] Australian Marie Cornish took a five-wicket haul in the only women's Test match on the ground in 1976 and is the only woman to take an international five-wicket haul on the ground. ^[8] As of January 2020 ^[update] no five-wicket hauls have been taken in an ODI or T20I match on the ground. ^[2]

Notes

1. The 1930 Test lasted nine days and was eventually abandoned as a draw. It set new records for the length of a match, the highest team score and highest score by an individual batsman. ^[4] The match was the final one of England's first Test match tour of the West Indies and, with the series tied at a win each, the decision was made to make the match a timeless Test in order that a winner of the series would be determined. Rain meant that no play was possible on the eighth and ninth days of the match and the England side then had to return home meaning that the match was declared a draw. ^[5]
2. West Indies play as a composite team selecting players from a number of Caribbean nations and dependencies, generally those which formed part of the British West Indies. These sides play Test, ODI and T20I cricket. The individual national sides of the countries which make up the West Indies, such as the Jamaica cricket team, play regional cricket competitions at first-class level, a level below Test cricket. This list only details the five-wicket hauls taken in international cricket on the ground.

1. Both of Johnson's five-wicket hauls were taken in the same match which was his Test debut aged 37. They were the only five-wicket hauls he took in his three-match Test career. ^[11]

4. King and Sobers took their five-wicket hauls in the same match.

7. Fraser and Walsh took their five-wicket hauls in the same match.
