Explanation

Jim Laker (England) holds the record for best bowling figures in a Test match - 19 for 90 (19-90) against Australia at Old Trafford in 1956. This included match figures of 10 for 53 in the second innings alone. Laker's spinning mastery on a helpful pitch destroyed the Australian batting lineup twice. Muralitharan's best is 19 for 133, and Hirwani's is 16 for 136 on debut.
