Who is the bowler who took close to 50 wickets in one series?

The one bowler who nearly took 50 wickets in a single Test series was none other than England's Sydney Barnes.

Barnes took 49 wickets in four Tests when England toured South Africa in 1913-14.

With Test cricket being more batter friendly in the last decade or so, the odds of anyone taking 50 wickets in a series is unlikely.
