List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Josh Hazlewood

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "fifer"[1]) refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement,[2] and as of October 2024, only 54 bowlers have taken 15 or more five-wicket hauls at international level in their cricketing careers.[3]

Josh Hazlewood is a right-arm fast bowler who competes in Test, One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) who represents Australia. Hazlewood has taken 272 wickets in Test matches, 135 wickets in ODIs and 61 wickets in T20Is.[4] With 15 five-wicket hauls across all formats of the game, he ranks equal forty-eighth among all-time combined five-wicket haul takers, and eleventh in the equivalent list for Australia.[a]

Hazlewood made his Test debut against India in 2014, in the second test of the series at the Gabba.[4] His first five-wicket haul came in his first innings.[5] His best bowling figures for an innings are 6 wickets for 67 runs against India in 2017.[6][7] In Test matches, Hazlewood is most successful against India, taking 4 of his 12 five-wicket hauls against them.[8]

In 2010, Hazlewood made his ODI debut against England.[9] He took his first five-wicket haul against South Africa in 2014.[10] Hazlewood took 5 wickets for 31 runs in the match, which Australian lost by 3 wickets.[11] His career best figures are 6 wickets for 52 runs against New Zealand in 2017.[12][13] Although Hazlewood made his first T20I appearance in 2013,[4] he has not picked up a five-wicket haul in the format. Figures of 4 wickets for 12 runs against Sri Lanka in 2022 are his best in this version of the game.[14]
