Close enough.......
Holding, Foster and Vaas are the only bowlers in the history of Test Cricket to achieve a 10-fer in a match having 2 double centurions.
It's a tribute to how well they bowled on a batsmens paradise.
Holding got 14 wkts, next best got just 3 wkts (Underwood, Holder).
Foster got 11 wkts, next best got just 4 wkts (Cowans)
Vaas got 14 wkts, next best got just 3 (Murali, Collins)

Engle Mate, I have seen Trivia and I have seen Trivial Trivia, But this just takes the Cake , really ....
This must be like the Trivia Masters Grand Final Trivia ......
By Golly...how Trivial is that...
Would I insult your intelligence by giving you anything less than total trivial tid-bits ? 
It's a good qs to stump (PTP) any trivia buff.
Besides, it's not just meaningless combination of numbers. There's a story behind the numbers.
Anyways, here's the next one, ....very very easy
Which bowler has taken 10 times or more as many wickets as the next best bowler of his team in a Test series ?

The Turbinator, in his single-handed mutilation of the Aussies batting line up in 2001. If memory serves me right he took 32 wickets, and the next best was 3.Would I insult your intelligence by giving you anything less than total trivial tid-bits ?

Who is out in such a bizarre fashion?
Guess
Who and how
Correct. Very good indeed. Here's how :
6 Martin Donnelly 1948
Playing for Warwickshire against Middlesex, Donnelly had reached 55 when a delivery from the left-arm spinner Jack Young hit his foot and bounced over his head, landing about a foot behind the stumps. Strangely the ball then returned to bowl him - from the wrong side of the stumps. The ball may have picked up some backspin, though a bowler's footmark was thought the most likely explanation.

This 1866 match
( http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/1/1451.html ) saw a batsman named George Wells get hit wicket. It is unique in fcc and under the current laws, while still possible, extremely unlikely to happen again.
How did it happen ? Guess away.
