List of international cricket five-wicket hauls at Queen's Park Oval

Queen's Park Oval is a cricket ground in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. It is one of the grounds used as by the West Indies cricket team and has been the home ground of Queen's Park Cricket Club since 1896.

Queen's Park Oval in 2004

The first Test match was played on the ground in 1930 when the West Indies played England during the first home Test series played by the side. One Day Internationals (ODIs) have been played on the ground since 1983 and Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) since 2009.[1] Women's international cricket was first played on the ground in 2003.[2]

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer") refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[3] This article details the five-wicket hauls taken on the ground in official international Test, One Day International and Twenty20 International matches.[lower-alpha 2]

The first five-wicket hauls taken on the ground in international matches were taken by West Indian Herman Griffith and Englishman Bill Voce. Both took their wickets during the ground's first Test match in 1930, Griffith taking five wickets for 63 runs (5/63) in the game's first innings and Voce taking 7/70 later in the match.[4] The West Indies spin bowler Jack Noreiga has the best innings bowling figures on the ground, taking 9/95 against India in 1971 on a pitch described by Wisden as "dubious".[5][6][lower-alpha 3] No five-wicket hauls have been taken in women's international cricket on the ground.

  1. Two teams from England toured the West Indies in 1897, one led by Lord Hawke and the other by A. A. Priestley's XI cricket team in the West Indies in 1896–97. Both played matches on the ground.
  2. West Indies play as a composite team selecting players from a number of Caribbean nations and dependencies, generally those which formed part of the British West Indies. These sides play Test, ODI and T20I cricket. The individual national sides of the countries which make up the West Indies, such as the Trinidad and Tobago cricket team, play regional cricket competitions at first-class level, a level below Test cricket. This list only details the five-wicket hauls taken in international cricket on the ground.
