Hat-Tricks in Test and One Day International Cricket
A hat-trick in the cricket is actually an occasion when a bowler takes three wickets in consecutive deliveries of three bowls. It can be in two different matches or in different over of same match, but a no or wide ball shouldn’t be bowled in between.
Test Match: Till 13 October 2013, this has been achieved 40 times in over 2000 Test matches. The first Test hat-trick was got on 2 January 1879, in only the third Test match to take place, by the Australian pace bowler Fred Spofforth, nicknamed “The Demon Bowler”, who dismissed three English batsmen at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. At least one bowler from each of the ten nations that play Test cricket has taken a Test hat-trick. The most recent, a Bangladeshi spinner Sohaag Gazi has achieved the record against New Zealand on 13 October 2013. He made his Test debut in first test during West Indies’s tour of Bangladesh in 2012, taking six wickets in the second innings. He is the first and so far, only man to score a century and take a hat-trick in the same Test match and the first man to do it twice in First Class matches while Peter Siddle (Aus) is the only bowler to take a hat-trick on his birthday. Harbhajan Singh and Irfaan Pathan are the only Indian bowlers who have got the hat-tricks in the test match. Irfaan Pathan got his hat-trick in Karachi against Pakistan in 2006. It is only hat-trick in the world cricket which was achieved in the first over of the match. Jimmy Matthews (Aus) is only bowler who has taken two hat-tricks in the both innings of the same Test match against South Africa in the first match of the Triangular Tournament at Old Trafford, Manchester, England, on 28 May 1912. Only two other cricketers have taken more than one Test hat-trick – Hugh Trumble (Aus) andWasim Akram (Pak). Only three players Maurice Allom (Eng) in 1930, Peter Petherick (NZ) in 1976, andDamien Fleming (Aus) in 1994 have taken a hat-trick on their Test debut. Geoff Griffin took only 8 Test wickets in his entire Test career with a hat-trick. Griffin was repeatedly called for throwing by the umpires during the match he took his hat-trick, and after that he never bowled again in a Test match. Following is the list of Hat-tricks in Test Match Crickets:
One Day International: In the year 2013, it was a very lucky year for Bangladeshi bowlers because two bowlers have got hat tricks. They are Sohaag Gazi and Rubel Hussain who got hat tricks in test and one day international matches against New Zealand in their home. The most recent bowler to enter the list is Rubel Hussain of Bngladesh who grabbed 3 back to back wickets against NZ in Mirpur on 29 Oct, 2013. Pakistani bowlers Wasim Akram and Saqlain Mushtaq have got two hat-tricks in their One day career while Lasith Malinga of Sri Lanka is the only bowler to take 4 wickets in 4 balls, doing it in a world cup 2007 match against South Africa, even though his effort couldn’t win the game for his country. Aaqib Javed is the youngest bowler to take a hat trick in one day internationals. Following is the list of Hat-tricks in One Day International Crickets:
