Talk:List of cricketers who have taken five-wicket hauls on Test debut

First Australian bowler to take five wickets

There is a problem with the identification of Kendall as the first Australian and also first Test cricketer to take 5-wickets on debut. The Cricinfo page listing the Australian players to achieve this (http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;debut_or_last=1;filter=advanced;orderby=start;team=2;template=results;type=bowling;wicketsmin1=5;wicketsval1=wickets) is incorrect. If you examine the match scoreboard (http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/62396.html) you will see that Kendall took his five wickets in the second England innings of the match, while his compatriot, Billy Midwinter achieved his haul in the first innings. I'd be grateful if someone could check my analysis. If it's correct I'll make the amendment. By the way, I'm also working on the "List of Australian players to take 5-wickets on debut", which explains how I came to look at this a bit more closely.

@Perry Middlemiss: I was also confused when I was working at this list. Midwinter was the bowler first to take a fifer in Test cricket, you are right. But this list should be arranged like this one! I'm happy that you are working at the Australian list, another editor is needed for the English list! Regards, --Khadar Khani (talk) 03:40, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

@Sahara4u: I think the confusion lies with the Cricinfo Stats list. If you read the notes at the bottom of the First Test scorecard it actually acknowledges that Midwinter was first. I'll change the lead paragraph of the article to reflect this, and contact Cricinfo to point out the problem.

I'm basing my Australian list on the others in the category India and various bowlers. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 05:06, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Pakistani list is currently a featured list! --Khadar Khani (talk) 05:25, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

I've now made the change from Kendall to Midwinter. It was an easy enough mistake to make as the Cricinfo stats page is incorrect. I've now finished the "List of Australian players to take 5-wickets on debut" page and am now working on Clarrie Grimmett's five-wicket hauls. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 00:33, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
