Explanation

Jim Laker holds the record for best bowling figures in a Test innings, taking 19 for 90 for England against Australia at Old Trafford in 1956. This incredible performance included 10 wickets in the second innings and 9 in the first. Anil Kumble is one of the few bowlers to take all 10 wickets in an innings (10 for 74), but Laker's 19-wicket match is unmatched.
