In cricket , a five-wicket haul (also known as a " five?for " or " fifer ") [1] [2] occurs when a bowler takes five or more wickets in a single innings . This is regarded by critics as a notable achievement, [3] equivalent to a century from a batter . [4]

Taking a five-wicket haul at Lord's earns the bowler a place on the Lord's honours boards . [5]
