I remember that match now you mention it. He bowled pretty well given he was playing on a road at Brisbane.Woakes took a 6fer against the Aussies in an ODI years ago which was fairly bad.
Remember him being the leading wicket taker in the 2010-11 ashes after three tests despite bowling really badly. Don't think he took 5 though. The one you're thinking of was against NZ in 2013, I think.Wasn't there a few by Finn circa 2011? I vaguely recall one he took in NZ that was disgusting.

I vaguely remember that one as well. Not that Trueman and Bailey being scathing was any sort of rarity, but I remember Edmonds' five-for on debut and that the commentators thought he was lucky.Phil Edmonds took five cheap wickets on debut against Australia in 1975 - I don't remember any of them but do recall vividly how scathing Trueman and Bailey were about it on TMS both saying he'd bowl much better in the future and take none for plenty
Pretty sure he blew away the Australian tail after Hussey and Haddin's bajillion run partnershipRemember him being the leading wicket taker in the 2010-11 ashes after three tests despite bowling really badly. Don't think he took 5 though. The one you're thinking of was against NZ in 2013, I think.

Speaking of 2010-11, Johnson at the SCG.
jason krejza's 8/215 was the jekyll and hyde of five wicket hauls. some genuinely beautiful wicket taking deliveries but absolute pus most of the time. not sure where that would rank in that case
Haha what a match that was. Krejza was on a hattrick twice, once in each innings; Ganguly did a Bradman for his final innings; Ponting returned SRT's run out; and Watson played as third pacer for Australia, with White playing as Jr Watsonomg i love krejza's performance, great theater. gets smashed to hell in his opening spell, career on the line, manages to snag 8 wickets, with a bit of back n forth, finishing strong. rags to riches story with a happy ending. then unfortunately in the sequal he flopped and was never seen again, despite his one wicket in that match being a beautiful ball
He got another 6fer against the Aussies as well when he bowled well, first one he just had loads of blokes caught on boundary. His economy rate was good though so it was a **** suggestion from me tbh.It's possible I'm not remembering that match now you mention it
That happens all the time in ODIs.Woakes took a 6fer against the Aussies in an ODI years ago which was fairly bad.
Remember it well. Ian Chappell was bowled playing over a long hop. Greg Chappell caught at square leg off a long hop. They went off for tea on that dismissal and Ross Edwards padded away a straight ball first ball after tea and was LBW. Doug Walters played back to a short long hop and was LBW (a bit of an iffy decision). I don't remember the fifth one. Trueman and Bailey, as well as Jim Laker on the TV were all fairly scathing about the selection in the first place. He hadn't really earned his selection and having Edmonds and Underwood in the same team made little sense (according to Laker). I never had a problem with two left armers if they were the best two spinners. The strange thing about Edmonds was he had an almost perfect action, but what happened when he let go of the ball was less than perfect. I remember him once being warned for bowling two consecutive bouncers (yes, deliberate bouncers) shortly after the one per over came in.Phil Edmonds took five cheap wickets on debut against Australia in 1975 - I don't remember any of them but do recall vividly how scathing Trueman and Bailey were about it on TMS both saying he'd bowl much better in the future and take none for plenty
