    The NZ spinner Patel has taken all 10 wickets in a Test innings.

    Without checking I don’t know precisely how rare that happens but I can’t recall it during my time.

    Only 3rd time it's happened, Laker for England and Kumble for India.

    I think when Laker took all 10 wickets he also took 9 in first innings, could be wrong tho?

    I am pretty sure that you are right and it was at Old Trafford in the fifties in the days when the wickets weren't covered and you could get a glue-pot to bat on. I am sure Laker got nineteen wickets. There should be some footage in old black and white. Have a look also at the way that none of the Aussie batsmen walked, but waited to be given out. They didn't enjoy it one bit.

    Tony Lock at the other end only managed a single wicket in the match, despite being a fantastic left arm spinner. One of life's mysteries.

    Jim Laker then went on to be a brilliant commentator too

    When you watch the footage, the umpire's really got a trigger finger.

    Even more incredible to be in the elite group of 1 that's done it in the city they were born in.
