The record for the greatest number of wickets taken in a Test series is 49, set in a five-Test rubber by Syd Barnes. The series took place between December 1913 and March 1914. These 49 wickets came in just the first four matches of the Test tour, as he was rested for the fifth Test.
His innings by innings Bowling figures for each of the innings in which he bowled in the Test series (along with the cumulative total of number of wickets taken on the tour), are:
1st Test: 5-57, 5-48 (10)
2nd Test: 8-56, 9-103 (27)
3rd Test: 3-26, 5-102 (35)
4th Test: 7-56, 7-88 (49)
The figures that Barnes took in the second Test, a composite of 17-159, comprised the best bowling figures in any match of all time at that point, and remained so for 43 years, until passed by Jim Laker's match figures of 19-90 in 1956.
