Amit Mishra took 18 wickets in the recent one-day series in Zimbabwe,
equalled the record for any bilateral series. That was set by another
Indian fast bowler Javagal Srinath, who took 18 wickets in New Zealand
in 2002-03 but there were
seven matches in that series. The earlier record for a five-match
series was 15, set by Sri Lankan mystery spinner Ajantha Mendis against
Zimbabwe in 2008-09, which was equalled by Graeme Cremer for Zimbabwe in
Kenya later in 2008-09, and Abdur Razzak for
Bangladesh at home to Zimbabwe in 2009-10. The West Indian fast bowler
Patrick Patterson took 17 wickets in six matches in India in 1987-88,
while South Africa's fast bowler Craig Matthews took 17 wickets in seven
matches in a home series against Australia
in 1993-94.
