In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer") refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[1] As of February 2019 there have been 75 five-wicket hauls on the ground, 69 in Test matches and six in ODIs.

The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul on the ground was Frank Woolley, who took seven wickets for 76 runs for England in the ground's first Test match in 1930. Jack Cowie was the first New Zealander to accomplish the feat, doing so in 1949. The best innings bowling figures on the ground were Richard Hadlee's 7/23 taken against India in 1976. The first five-wicket haul in an ODI was taken by Lyn Fullston who took 5/27 for Australia Women against New Zealand in January 1982.
