Andrew Symonds – 5/18 against Bangladesh
Australia were up against Bangladesh during the NatWest series in 2005 at Old Trafford. Australians were the most dominating team that time and Bangladesh were trying to come to terms with international cricket. But Bangladesh surprisingly enjoyed a superb start as Ashraful hit his consecutive 3rd half-century in the series and was supported by Nafees at the other end. Even McGrath failed to take a single wicket while Brett Lee had managed only 2. However, it was Symonds’ day as he proved to be a potent force with the ball while he changed the course of the game single-handedly with a 5-wicket haul. He was called up in the 22nd over, with Ashraful and Nafees in control at 101/2, and his off spin soon yorked Nafees. Symonds took Bashar next ball through a fine edge and Bangladesh were suddenly in big trouble at 113/4 and they duly collapsed. Symonds finished with figures of 5/18 and Australia won the match by 10 wickets.
