I thought Tayfield took 14 as well, but I see it was only 13. Read the last para it will bl ow you away:

 

"After a quiet tour to England in 1951 when he was called up as a substitute for Rowan, he became South Africa's mainstay in Australia in 1952–53 under Jack Cheetham. He claimed 30 scalps in the series, 13 of them at Melbourne to secure South Africa's first win over Australia in 42 years. Tayfield returned to England with more success in 1955, taking 143 wickets on the tour and 26 in the series including nine in South Africa's victory at Headingley. In the defeat at the Oval, the match which decided the rubber, he took 5 for 60 in 53.3 overs.[1]

 

 

Wheeling down eight-ball overs for South Africa v England at Durban in 1956–57, he bowled 119 balls in the first innings followed immediately by a further 18 in the second without conceding a run, a test and first class cricket record. He bowled over the wicket, close to the stumps, drifting the ball away from the bat in the air and then spinning it back through the gate. He did not spin the ball as much as England's Jim Laker but was unerringly accurate and could bowl all day."

Tayfield was a class act by all accounts. My FIL played bowls with Tayfield and Keith Oxlee back in the day
