O'Rourke Scalps 9 Wickets In Hamilton, Claims Best Match Figures By NZ Bowler On Test Debut
New Zealand: William O'Rourke broke a long-standing record for the best bowling figures on Test debut by a New Zealand player after claiming the match figures of 9/93 during the second Test against South Africa.
O'Rourke collected five wickets during South Africa's second innings on Thursday to seal match figures of 9/93. In the process, he broke the record held by Mark Craig (8/188) from June 2014
Three of his five scalps came late in South Africa's second innings on a topsy-turvy day at Seddon Park, as David Bedingham's century threatened to take the game away from New Zealand until a late collapse of 6/33 swayed the momentum back towards the hosts, ICC reports.
