There are many such records in cricket, which are surprising to see and there are some records which become more special with time. In the history of Test cricket, bowlers like Jim Laker, Anil Kumble and Ajaz Patel have achieved the feat of taking all 10 wickets in an innings. But there is also a record which has stood unbroken for more than 130 years. This record is recorded in the name of England’s great fast bowler George Lohman, who took 8 wickets for just 7 runs in a Test innings.

This historic performance was seen in the test match played between England and South Africa in 1896. In the first Test of the three-match series, Lohman broke the back of the South African batsmen with his lethal bowling. In the first innings, he played an important role in reducing the host team to 93 runs by taking 7 wickets.

However, the real history was written in the fourth innings of the match. Chasing the difficult target of 319 runs, the South African team looked completely helpless in front of Lohman’s speed and precise line-length. He took 8 wickets for only 7 runs in 9.4 overs and reduced the entire team to 30 runs. Even today, this is the most economical 8 wicket haul by a bowler in Test cricket.

Lohman did not stop here. In the second Test of the same tour, he took 9 wickets for 28 runs in the second innings, which is still considered to be the most economical 9 wicket haul in Test history.

Lohman, who took 112 wickets in just 18 Test matches, also made the record of taking the fastest 100 Test wickets by completing 100 wickets in his 16th Test. The records of this great bowler, who left the world at the age of 36, still testify to his extraordinary talent.
