Q: Has anyone ever taken 10 wickets in an innings on First Class debut?

A: Yes - Albert Moss took ten for 28 on debut for Canterbury vs Wellington in 1889. His story is a very interesting one - he only played in four First Class matches and, due to his alcoholism, his wife left him, taking with him the inscribed cricket ball presented to him after his first match. He sought solace in the Salvation Army and it was while working with them, helping alcoholics in South Africa 50 years later, that his ex-wife, having heard of his good works, tracked him down. She returned his prized cricket ball and, eventually, remarried him.
