No. Such a list would also include DGBs 334 in a day.

He made 309 in the day. He made a century before Lunch, another between Lunch and Tea, 89 after Tea and was 309 not out at stumps. He went on to be dismissed for 334 next morning.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Indeed, my error, but the point still stands.

Recently I asked what the best bowling analyses were for each bowling position in an innings. The best performance for a no. 5 bowler was by 8-55 by Vinoo Mankad. However, there are 4 other instances of the 5th bowler used in an innings taking 8 wickets. What are they?

5 instances of the 5th bowler used taking 8 wickets in an innings:
8-55, MH Mankad, Ind v Eng, Chennai 1951-52
