6 times a bowling pair took all 20 wickets in a Test

#4 Bert Vogler and Aubrey Faulkner against England at Johannesburg, 1910

The South African teams in the early 20th century possessed wonderful spin bowlers. Two of the finest among them were Bert Vogler and Aubrey Faulkner. Vogler was a famed leg-break and googly bowler, capable of deceiving batsmen with his action. On the other hand, Faulkner was a leg-spinner who bowled much faster than regulation spinners and was known to send down a wicked googly.

These two bowlers combined to completely annihilate England in the 1st Test of the series between the two teams at Johannesburg. After South Africa had made 208, England responded with 310 but all 10 of their wickets fell to Faulkner and Vogler. Faulkner picked up 5 for 120 while Vogler returned figures of 5 for 87.

Ultimately, England were set a target of 244 and in a closely-contested game, it was Vogler who dominated the visitors the second time of asking. He picked up 7 for 94 and received able support from Faulkner, who claimed 3 wickets for 40 runs. South African won the Test match by only 19 runs.
