The Basin Reserve is a 13,000 capacity cricket stadium situated in Wellington, New Zealand. It is the oldest remaining Test cricket ground in New Zealand,[a] with the first Test match played at the ground between New Zealand and England, beginning on 24 January 1930. One-day international cricket was played at the Basin Reserve between 1975 and 1999, after which it moved to the larger Westpac Stadium, on the other side of Wellington.

As of February 2018, the ground has been venue for 62 Test matches and 29 One-Day International matches. Twenty20 International matches have yet to be played at the ground.

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")[1][2] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[3]

The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match at Basin Reserve was Frank Woolley, who took 7/76 for England against hosts New Zealand in 1930.[4] Figures of 7/23 by New Zealand legend Sir Richard Hadlee hold the record as the best bowling figures to date in Tests at Basin Reserve. There have been a total of 67 five-wicket hauls in Test matches at the ground.

Since its first ODI in 1975, there have been five five-wicket hauls taken at the ground in ODIs. The first of these was achieved by Terry Alderman who took 5/17 for Australia against New Zealand in 1982; these remain the best ODI bowling figures at the venue.[5]
