Has anyone taken more than Bob Willis' 325 wickets without a ten-for?
Also, who did Steven Smith beat to become the fastest to 7000 runs?

The much missed Bob Willis is indeed top of this particular list. His best match figures in Tests were 9 for 92, against New Zealand at Headingley in 1983. At Headingley in 1981, when he pulled off that sensational 8 for 43 in the second innings to complete the come-from-behind win against Australia, he'd managed only 0 for 72 in the first.
The 19-year-old Pakistan seamer Muhammad Musa, who made 12 not out and 4 not out against Australia in Adelaide last week, was actually the 67th player to remain not out in both innings of his first Test, as this list shows. The 66th was Senuran Muthusamy, for South Africa against India in Visakhapatnam a few weeks earlier.
Steven Smith breezed past 7000 Test runs against Pakistan in Adelaide last week, during his 126th innings, in his 70th Test. Both figures are records. England's Wally Hammond reached 7000 in 131 innings, although that came in his 80th Test. Virender Sehwag and Garry Sobers got there one match quicker, in 79, although it took them more innings.
The Queensland fast bowler "Pud" Thurlow, whose most memorable contribution to his one and only Test match, against South Africa in Adelaide in 1931-32, was getting run out to leave Don Bradman stranded on 299, was by no means the only man to make no impression on the scorecard in his solitary appearance.
This has happened 22 times in all now (list includes those who captained in a country's inaugural Test). It was quite a frequent occurrence in the early days of Test cricket, when teams were often not chosen by a central selection committee but by representatives connected to the ground where the match was being played. In West Indies' first home series in 1929-30, for example, the captain in each of the four Tests was chosen from the island staging the game - and two of them had not played a Test before.
