Top 5 bowlers with most five-wicket hauls in Test

#3 Richard Hadlee (36)

Sir Richard Hadlee, the first bowler to reach 400 Test wickets, had an impact few bowlers could boast about on their respective country's fortunes. Single-handedly changing courses of games with his thundering right-arm pace, Hadlee, one of the four great all-rounders of his generation, ended up with 431 wickets in just 86 Tests, leaving a legacy few have managed to come close to.

He managed to eke out pace and bounce off unresponsive surfaces and never held himself back even as he crossed 35. He cut down on speed for accuracy, and picked up 400 wickets in only 79 games, managing a strike-rate not many have still been able to achieve in the game.

He took 25 four-wicket hauls and 36 fifers in total, plucking out five-wicket hauls in every country but West Indies, across his illustrious 17-year career.
