Nobody? 8 should be relatively easy. 1 to 4 will be harder, but 1, 2 and 3 were in small chases for victory by the opposition and 4 was in a declared innings.

Are you including things like Prasad's 2 runs conceded to make this 10 wicket victory (hence 100%)?

Yes, Pete, but in that case that is zero wickets and is not part of the question (a bowler conceding the winning runs in the opening over in a 10 wkt win has been done a number of times, and hence was not asked).

I am after 1-fer-something, 2-fer-something etc. (see under "Wkts" heading). But as a clue, the 1-fer taking bowler does concede 100% of the opposition's total in a small (double figure) chase. 2, 3 and 4 are less than 100%.

I don't know.

Well played, Gaz, well played.

I'd guess Tibby Cotter must be in there somewhere.

Please excuse Juan for being a sheephead.

I wouldn't mind betting that Dev fella would have taken 3 wickets in a lost cause too.

It takes Juan to know Juan, said Jacob, philosophically.

C'mon boys, can't take too long to check the 8-fers. There's only 57 of 'em.

FST 8/31?

Nup. There is someone higher than FST's 53.44% 8-fer v India (58) in 1952.
