I know it is very hard and @Days of Grace may have to lookup every test cricketer who bowled, but one upfront request regardless of the criteria finalized here. Please give us the ranking of Rubel Hossain, even if it is high 4 digits. It will be a tribute to the great cricketer who called it a day and achieved something Marshall or Bumrah could only dream of - A fifer in NZ.

WPI is more important than WPM imo.

Look at Jack Cowie. The poor bloke played 1 test in 1946 and NZ only took 8 wickets vs Australia in an innings loss (Aus 198/8 declared) but Cowie took 6/40.

Then the following year (1947) they only played 1 again and again he got a 6-fer (6/83) as England scored 265/7 in a rain-affected draw.

12 wickets in 2 years doesn't sound like much, but 12 in 2 innings or 12 out of 15 taken is outstanding.
