Only Jim Laker's match analysis of nineteen for 90 in 1956 has since surpassed this feat in Test cricket. Don Bradman recalled seeing Barnes at Old Trafford after Laker had destroyed Australia in that match. "Well, what did you think of that?", Bradman asked Barnes. He received the gruff reply that "no bugger ever got all ten when I was on at the other end", probably a reference to the fact that Laker's co-bowler Tony Lock did not take a wicket in the second innings (in the whole match, Lock took one for 106 in 69 overs).
