Justin Greaves

Justin Greaves, a West Indies all-rounder and paceman, has recently achieved a significant milestone in Test cricket history. He became the first bowler in the recorded era to take wickets in five consecutive maiden overs during the opening Test match against Pakistan. This remarkable achievement occurred in Trinidad, where the West Indies were competing in a two-Test series against Pakistan. While the series ultimately ended in a draw with Pakistan winning the second Test to level it, Greaves' bowling performance stands out as a historic moment. His feat highlights his skill as a bowler and brings him into the record books for this unique accomplishment in the sport. The context of the match was Pakistan ending an eight-away Test losing streak, but Greaves' individual record is a notable development within that game.
