Tim Southee took ten wickets in the Lord's Test - but New Zealand still lost. You will perhaps be surprised to discover that Tim Southee valiant effort at Lord's when he took 10 for 108 but still lost the test match was actually the 69th occasion on which a bowler has bagged ten or more wickets in a Test but finished up on the losing side. Pakistan left arm fast bowler Wasim Akram took ten but lost three times, while Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan, Tom Richardson, Saeed Ajmal, Hugh Trumble, Daniel Vettori and Shane Warne have all done it twice. The best match figures in defeat are Javagal Srinath's 13 for 132 for India against Pakistan in Kolkata in 1998-99. He took 5/46 in the first inning and 8/86 in the 2nd inning.
