Darren Sammy at the Prime Ministers XI cricket match in Canberra in 2010.
Darren Sammy took a five-wicket haul on Test debut in 2007.[1]

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")[2] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a significant achievement.[3] As of August 2017, 148 cricketers have taken a five-wicket haul on their debut in a Test match,[4] with nine of them being taken by West Indian players.[5] They have taken a five-wicket haul on debut against five different opponents: four times against England, twice against India, and once against Australia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka each.[6] Of the nine occasions, the West Indies won the match four times, and drew once.[7][8] The players have taken five-wicket hauls at three different venues, two in the West Indies and one overseas.[9] The most common venue for a West Indies player to achieve the feat is Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, where it has occurred five times.[9] All three hauls which occurred overseas took place at Old Trafford in Manchester, England.[9][10]

Hines Johnson was the first West Indian player to take a five-wicket haul on his Test debut, taking five wickets for 41 runs against England in 1948.[11][12] Alf Valentine, Darren Sammy and Franklyn Rose took eight, seven and six wickets respectively, while six others have taken five wickets on their debut.[5] Valentine took eight wickets for 104 runs, the best bowling figures by a West Indian bowler on debut, against England in 1950, at Old Trafford, Manchester.[13] He accumulated 11 wickets for 204 runs in the match.[14] Johnson and Valentine are the only West Indians to have taken ten wickets in a match on debut; Johnson is one of only nine bowlers to take two five-wicket hauls on debut.[15][16] Amongst the bowlers, Johnson is the most economical, with 1.17 runs per over,[17] and Sammy has the best strike rate.[18][note 1] As of 2017, the most recent bowler to achieve the feat was Sammy, taking seven wickets for 66 runs in his debut Test, against England in 2007.[1][5]
