Q2: JASON: Geoff Dymock - dismissing all eleven batsmen in a Test after Laker in 1956, and Venkat in 1964-5. NO
Q3: JASON: TJ Matthews 2 hat tricks in same day. NO
Q4: SJS: CB Turner for far taking 101 wickets in only 17 tests. NO
Q5: JASON: A.Conningham - debutant taking a first ball wicket in Test history - that of Archie Mclaren at Melbourne 1n 1894-5. NO

Does it have to do with performance in the Ashes tests ?

Is it his 100 Ashes test wickets in 17 tests by 1991 ?

So it is not his 100 ashes wickets, not the fact that they came in just 17 tests and not that he was (??) the first to reach that.

Is it the highest number of five-fors in an innings in the Ashes tests ? 11 by him.

Is it that he averaged exactly 20 with the ball in Ashes tests from 1985 to his retirement? Bit of a wild stab.
