In addition, it has hosted women's Test and ODI matches and was the first ground at which a day-night Test was played. 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. This article details the five-wicket hauls taken on the ground in official international Test and One Day International matches. Three bowlers took five-wicket hauls in the first Test match played on the ground. England's Billy Bates took five wickets for 31 runs (5/31) in the first innings of the match in 1884. His team-mate Bobby Peel and Australia's Joey Palmer also took five-wicket hauls during the match. England's Johnny Briggs was the first player to take 10 wickets in a match, taking 5/51 and 6/49 in 1892, whilst the best Test match innings bowling figures on the ground were recorded by Australia's Albert Trott who took 8/43 in 1895. The first woman to take five wickets in an innings was Australia's Betty Wilson who took 5/23 in the first Woman's Test played on the ground in 1949. The first One Day International five-wicket haul on the ground was taken by West Indian Andy Roberts who took 5/22 against England in 1980. The first ODI five-wicket haul taken by an Australian was by Carl Rackemann who took 5/16 against Pakistan in 1984, figures which remain the best ODI bowling figures at the venue. (en)
