He took 16 wickets in a single match on debut at Lords in 1972 (I was there - he swung the ball as if on a string) but took only 15 more wickets in the rest of his career. Hirwani also took 16 on debut but amassed 66 in total.

Has it ever happened before that a batsman was wrongly given out in three consecutive innings?
