context_page_description: In cricket, a five-wicket haul refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a significant achievement. As of November 2019, 155 cricketers have taken a five-wicket haul on their debut in a Test match. Of these, nine cricketers have taken two five-wicket hauls on their Test debut, including four from England, two from Australia and one each from India, South Africa and West Indies.
  English left-arm medium-paced bowler Frederick Martin was the first player to do so; he took 6 wickets for 50 and 6 wickets for 52 on his debut, against Australia in the second Test of the 1890 Ashes series. The feat was repeated three years later by Tom Richardson who took 5 for 49 and 5 for 107 against Australia in the third Test of the 1893 Ashes series. Clarrie Grimmett became the first Australian to take two five-wicket hauls on his Test debut, when he took 5 for 45 and 6 for 37 in the fifth Test of the 1924–25 Ashes series at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Charles Marriott was the third England player to take a pair of fifers on his Test debut, against the West Indies on their 1933 tour of England.
