In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five–for" or "fifer")[2] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement;[3] as of 2022[update], 50 bowlers have taken at least 15 five-wicket hauls at international level in their cricketing careers.[4] James Anderson, an English cricketer has taken 33 five-wicket hauls in international cricket.[4][5] A right-arm fast-medium bowler, Anderson has played 172 Tests and 194 One Day International (ODI) matches for his country, and has taken 631 and 269 wickets respectively.[5][6] He was honoured with the NBC Denis Compton Award for "The Most Promising Young Player" in 2002,[7] and the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack named him one of their cricketers of the year in 2009.[8] In 2013, former Pakistan captain, Wasim Akram described him as "the best bowler of this era".[9]
Anderson took a five-wicket haul on his Test debut in 2003 against Zimbabwe at Lord's Cricket Ground.[10] He took 5 wickets for 73 runs in the match which England won by an innings and 92 runs.[11] In July 2010, he took five-wicket hauls in both innings of a Test match against Pakistan at the Trent Bridge.[12] In total, he took 11 wickets for 71 runs, which remains his best bowling figures in a Test match as of August 2020[update].[5] He took another pair of five-wicket hauls at the same venue, against Australia in the first Test of the 2013 Ashes series.[13] Anderson's career-best figures for an innings are 7 wickets for 42 runs against West Indies at Lord's Cricket Ground, in September 2017.[14] As of 2022[update], he has taken 32 Test five-wicket hauls at 11 cricket grounds, and has been most successful against India with six five-wicket hauls against them.[14]
Anderson made his ODI debut against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground during the 2002–03 VB series; England lost the match by 89 runs.[15] His first ODI five-wicket haul came in November 2009 against South Africa at the St George's Oval. His career best performance of 5 wickets for 23 runs in the match earned him the man of the match award.[16] Anderson has taken two five-wicket hauls in ODI cricket.
Making his first Twenty20 International (T20I) appearance in 2007, Anderson has yet to take a five-wicket haul in the format As of 2017[update].[17] His best performance in T20I is 3 wickets for 23 runs, against the Netherlands at Lord's Cricket Ground during the 2009 ICC World Twenty20.[18] As of 2022[update], he is eighth overall among all-time five-wicket haul takers,[4] and first in the equivalent list for England.[19]
