In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five–for" or "fifer") [1] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement, [2] and fewer than 54 bowlers have taken more than 15 five-wicket hauls at international level in their cricketing careers as October 2024. [3] [4] [5] Richard Hadlee, a retired New Zealand cricketer, took 41 five-wicket hauls during his career in international cricket. [3] [6] A fast bowler who represented his country between 1973 and 1990, Hadlee was described by the BBC as "one of the greatest bowlers the world has seen". [7] Hadlee was named by Wisden as one of their Cricketers of the Year in 1982. [8] In 2009, the International Cricket Council (ICC) inducted him into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame. [9] [10] Hadlee was the first bowler to take 400 wickets in Test cricket. [6]

Hadlee made his Test debut in 1973 against Pakistan at the Basin Reserve, Wellington. [11] His first Test five-wicket haul came in 1976, against India in a match at the same venue which New Zealand won. [12] In February 1980, he took his first pair of five-wicket hauls in a single match against the West Indies at the Carisbrook, Dunedin. [13] By the end of his career, he had claimed five-wicket hauls in both innings of a match on five occasions. [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] He went on to take ten or more wickets in a match on nine occasions. [18] In Tests, Hadlee was most successful against Australia, with fourteen five-wicket hauls. [19] His best bowling figures in an innings were 9 wickets for 52 runs against the same team at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, in November 1985. [15] He followed up in the second innings of that match with 6 for 71 and achieved his best match figures of 15 for 123 to give New Zealand an innings win.

Having made his One Day International (ODI) debut in February 1973 against Pakistan at the Lancaster Park, Christchurch, [20] Hadlee's first ODI five-wicket haul came in 1980 against India, in a match at the WACA Ground, Perth, which New Zealand lost. [21] His career-best bowling figures in ODI cricket were 5 wickets for 25 runs against Sri Lanka at the County Cricket Ground, Bristol, in June 1983. [22] By the time he retired from international cricket in 1990 after nearly 17 years, [6] Hadlee had taken 36 five-wicket hauls in Test cricket and five in ODIs. [4] [5] As of October 2012, he is second overall among all-time combined five-wicket haul takers, behind Muttiah Muralitharan. [3]

Timothy Grant Southee, is a New Zealand international cricketer who has captained New Zealand cricket team in all formats of the game. He is a right-arm medium-fast bowler and a hard-hitting lower order batsman. The third New Zealand bowler to take 300 Test wickets, he was one of the country's youngest cricketers, debuting at the age of 19 in February 2008. On his Test debut against England he took 5 wickets and made 77 off 40 balls in the second innings. He plays for Northern Districts in the Plunket Shield, Ford Trophy and Super Smash as well as Northland in the Hawke Cup. He was named as New Zealand's captain for the first T20I against West Indies in place of Kane Williamson, who was rested for that game. The Blackcaps won that match by 47 runs. Southee was a member of the New Zealand team that won the 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship. Southee currently has the highest (international) test batting strike rate among the batsmen with a minimum of 2000 test runs. His (batting) career strike rate is 83.12. He was also a part of the New Zealand squads to finish as runners-up in two Cricket World Cup finals in 2015 and 2019.

The Trans-Tasman Trophy is awarded to the winner of the Australia–New Zealand Test match series in cricket. The trophy is awarded to the team that wins a Test series, or one-off Test match, between the two nations. If the series is a draw, the holder retains the trophy. It was first competed for in the 1985–86 season, although six Test series between the nations were contested before the trophy's instigation.
