When taking into account some of the best-ever bowling performances from a Test-match, one will definitely remember Jim Laker's 19-wicket haul in Old Trafford. Another person to have come close to this achievement is Bob Massie, who picked up sixteen wickets in a single game against hosts England in 1972, that too as a visitor to the country.

Massie delivered figures of 33 - 7 - 84 - 8 and 28 - 9 - 53 - 8, adding up to 61 - 16 - 137 - 16 from the whole game. His bowling triggered England's collapses in both innings, scoring just 272 and 116. Australia won the game, having scored 308 in the first innings and needing just 81 runs to win in the second innings. Massie was awarded "best player" for his defining spells.
