GSC took 7 wickets prior to his 5-61 v Pak at SCG in Jan 1973, and AB took 16 before his epic 7-46 v WI in Sydney in Jan 89.

Therefore I'll try with the first John Reid.
John Reid just misses this short list. He took 63 wickets before his first michelle.
Wouldn't he have taken 67 wickets before he took his 5th in the innings?

If you apply that rule, then Lakmal took 71 prior to his michelle, thus leaving Reid off the list again.
