Overall, the record belongs to England pacer Sydney Barnes. During 1913/14 season, he claimed 49 wickets in the four-Test series at an average of 10.93.
However, it is yet to be seen whether Jasprit Bumrah will be fit to bowl on Day 3 of the SCG Test. Bumrah left the field and was taken for scans on Day 2. Prasidh Krishna revealed he has a back spasm.
