In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")^[6][7] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.^[8] The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match at McLean Park was Imran Khan in the inaugural Test; he finished with bowling figures of 5 wickets for 106 runs.^[9] Sri Lanka's Chaminda Vaas became the first cricketer to take two five-wicket hauls at McLean Park, when he took 5 for 47 and 5 for 43 in the second and fourth innings of the first Test of Sri Lanka's 1994–95 tour of New Zealand.^[10] The best figures in Test cricket at McLean Park are 7 for 47, taken by England's Ryan Sidebottom against New Zealand in March 2008.^[9] Chris Martin has taken the most recent five-wicket haul at McLean Park, with figures of 6 wickets for 26 runs against Zimbabwe in January 2012.^[9] As of August 2015, thirteen bowlers have taken fourteen Test match five-wicket hauls at the ground.^[9]

As of August 2015, five bowlers have taken five-wicket hauls during ODIs at McLean Park. Zimbabwe's fast-medium pace bowler Charlie Lock was the first to achieve the feat when he took 5 wickets for 44 runs against New Zealand during their tour in 1995–96.^[9] The most recent five-wicket haul in ODIs was made by England's James Anderson who took 5 for 34 in February 2013.^[9] The best figures in ODI cricket are 5 for 30, secured by Sri Lanka's spin bowler Muttiah Muralitharan against New Zealand in March 1995.^[9] Muralitharan is the only other bowler to take two five-wicket hauls at McLean Park, having taken 5 for 64 in the same match in which Vaas took his two five-wicket hauls.^[10] As of August 2015, no Twenty20 International (T20I) matches have been played at McLean Park.^[2]
