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

#1 Dennis Lillee and Bob Massie against England at Lord’s, 1972

This Test match will forever be known for the spectacular debut of Australian fast bowler Bob Massie and his incredible 16-wicket haul. Trailing the 1972 Ashes 1-0, Australia unleashed the debutant on the unsuspecting Englishmen and he picked up 8 for 84 as the hosts were dismissed for 272. Australian legend Dennis Lillee picked up 2 for 90.

Australia responded with 308 and eked out a narrow lead, but Massie carried on from he had left off earlier. His swing bowling brought about England’s downfall again and his dream figures of 8 for 53 were instrumental in dismissing them for only 116. As was the case in the 1st innings, Lillee picked up the other two wickets, this time conceding 50 runs. Australia ended up winning the Test by 8 wickets.
