International Regular
This feature follows on from the earlier feature covering batsmen who had managed to notch up consecutive matches scoring at least 100 runs. Here, we look at bowlers who have most often managed to take at least six wickets in a match.
Originally this feature was going to be based on five-wicket Test match performances, however the correlation between the numbers of century matches is not the same as for five-wicket match hauls, ton-up batsmen being more rare than five-wicket bowlers - what happens is that effectively everybody ends up looking good. I actually completed the work based on five wicket Test performances then decided to repeat the effort with six wickets, which is why this has taken so long to be posted on the site - apologies for that.
