Five-wicket haul

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five–for" or "fifer")[1][2] occurs when a bowler takes five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded by critics as a notable achievement.[3]

The Lord's honours board commemorating English five or ten wicket hauls at Lord's.
Scoreboard summarising Samit Patel's 5-wicket haul. The bar chart shows the runs conceded (white rectangles) and wickets taken (red dots) in each over.

Australian cricketers use the rhyming slang "getting a Michelle" when they take five wickets in an innings. This means they have taken "Five for" which has become a "Pfeiffer" and hence a "Michelle", in reference to Michelle Pfeiffer.[4]

Taking a five-wicket haul at Lord's earns the bowler a place on the Lord's honours boards.[5]
