Geoff Dymock is one of the only two fast bowlers and the only left-arm pacer to dismiss all the opponent's batsmen in a Test match. Dymock, who had a short-spanned Test career of just 21 matches, achieved the feat against India in Kanpur, way back in 1979.

Geoff Dymock had a five-wicket haul to his name in India's 1st innings and picked up 7 wickets in the 2nd innings. He was only the third bowler to achieve the feat in his time.

Interestingly, Dymock is also the only bowler to achieve this feat in a losing cause, as Kapil Dev's heroics with the ball in Australia's chase earned a 153-run victory for the hosts. Geoff Dymock had figures of 12/166 in that particular match.
