The England cricket team played its first Test match in 1877 and, along with Australia, is the joint-oldest recognised national cricket side in the world. It represents England and Wales and is organised by the England and Wales Cricket Board. The team played in the first One Day International (ODI) in 1971 and in its first Twenty20 International (T20I) in 2005, both matches also having Australia as the opposition. The England women's cricket team played its first official Test match in 1934, its first ODI in 1973 and its first T20I in 2004, its T20I debut occurring before the men's team played its first T20I.
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.[1] This list details the five-wicket hauls taken on cricket grounds in England or Wales in international matches.
The first international five-wicket haul taken on a ground in England or Wales was in the first Test match played in England. Fred Morley took five Australian wickets for 56 runs (5/56) at The Oval in 1880.[2][3] The first five-wicket haul in a One Day International in England or Wales was taken by Australia's Tina Macpherson in 1973 at Bournemouth in the first women's One Day International match played.[4][lower-alpha 1] The match was part of the 1973 Women's Cricket World Cup, the first cricket world cup competition played.[5] New Zealander Amy Satterthwaite took the first T20I five-wicket haul in the country in 2007 at County Ground, Taunton.[6][7]
A total of five five-wicket hauls were taken in the only Test match to be played at Bramall Lane.[8] Two were taken in the England first innings by Jack Saunders and Monty Noble, with Noble taking two five-wicket hauls and 11 wickets in the match, bowling "in an unplayable way" on a wearing pitch which made batting difficult.[9]
Five-wicket hauls in Men's Test matches at Bramall Lane
Five-wicket hauls have been taken four times on the St Lawrence Ground. Two were taken in one Test match by England's Julia Greenwood in 1979 whilst both the others were taken by Australian Ellyse Perry, once in a Test match in 2015 and once in an ODI in 2019.
Test matches
Five-wicket hauls in Women's Test matches at St Lawrence Ground
↑ The first women's ODI match had been scheduled to be played on 20 June 1973 as the first match of the 1973 Women's Cricket World Cup. The match was rained off without a toss being made. As a result, the match MacPherson played in on 23 June is considered the first women's ODI. Two other matches were played the same day, one of which also featured a five-wicket haul – New Zealander Glenys Page taking 6/20 against Trinidad and Tobago. This match is numbered as Women's ODI 3 whilst the match Macpherson played in is numbered Women's ODI 1.
↑ Page took her five-wicket haul on her international debut.[16]
1 2 Macpherson and Page took their five-wicket hauls on the same day. These are the first five-wicket hauls taken in women's One Day International cricket and the first five-wicket hauls taken in grounds in England or Wales in an ODI. The match Macpherson played in is numbered as Women's ODI 1, whilst Page played in Women's ODI 3.
