Fourteen wickets in the match overall for Patel, which is still a magnificent achievement. Only twelve Test bowlers in history have ever bettered that haul, while another dozen have equalled it. Frederick Spofforth, Alec Bedser, Billy Bates, Imran Khan, Jasubhai Patel, Sydney Barnes, Michael Holding, Anil Kumble, Rangana Herath, Yasir Shah, Chaminda Vaas and Clarrie Grimmett are the other players who took 14.
