- Cricket has a rich history with many iconic moments. Here's a list of some of the greatest plays in cricket history:
1) Don Bradman's 334 (1930): Sir Donald Bradman's innings against England at Headingley is one of the highest individual scores in Test cricket and is considered a masterpiece.
2) Brian Lara's 400 (2004):* The West Indian batsman's unbeaten 400 against England in Antigua is the highest individual score in Test cricket.
3) Sachin Tendulkar's "Desert Storm" (1998): Tendulkar's iconic innings against Australia in Sharjah, where he played two consecutive centuries to take India to the finals, is etched in cricket history.
4) Shane Warne's "Ball of the Century" (1993): Warne's first delivery in an Ashes Test that completely bamboozled England's Mike Gatting is often regarded as the greatest ball ever bowled.
5) Vivian Richards' 189 (1984):* Richards' destructive innings against England at Old Trafford is considered one of the greatest one-day knocks ever.
6) Adam Gilchrist's 149 in the 2007 World Cup Final:* Gilchrist's explosive innings in the World Cup final against Sri Lanka played a crucial role in Australia's triumph.
7) Kapil Dev's 175 in the 1983 World Cup:* Kapil Dev's heroic innings against Zimbabwe played a pivotal role in India's journey to winning their first-ever Cricket World Cup.
8) Courtney Walsh's 13/55 (1986): Walsh's incredible bowling figures against Australia in 1986 are the best in Test history for a fast bowler.
9) MS Dhoni's World Cup-winning six (2011): Captain Dhoni's six to win the 2011 World Cup for India is an iconic moment in cricket history.
10) Ben Stokes' innings in the 2019 World Cup Final: Stokes' heroic performance against New Zealand in the World Cup final helped England secure their first-ever World Cup.

Enjoy some of the greatest catches in Cricket! - Sport
You can add another one to that list of greatest innings ever - Glenn Maxwell produced one of the greatest innings ever just a few days back, scoring 201 not out, out of Australia's total of 293 in a match where they looked like they had no chance of winning. And if that's not enough, he was injured for much of it and couldn't really run properly. His runs included ten sixes and 21 boundary fours and came off just 128 balls.
144 runs came from boundaries
and he had full body cramps for the last 70 balls of his innings
Body cramps and back pain
Correct

A hat-trick is always considered very precious and very difficult to have one, however there are many bowlers who have done that
Not in the first 3 balls in a test innings
@@y_r_u_geh Yeah that was something unique
A hat trick takes place about once in every 30 matches
@@devaanshduggal824that's not correct I guess, in tests there has been 46 hat tricks ever in over 2000 games while each game has uto 4 innings played and in ODIs 50 hat tricks in more than 4500 games. It's quite rare.
Do the statistics matter in this? I mean hattrick is very difficult for bowlers but still they take it, which is great and we should not see it as just a statistic
Cricket 🏏 is best sports for me ❤

The Word "Hat-Trick" originated from Cricket. Earlier days, English Clubs used to give the bowler a new hat if he take three wickets consecutively. The word then spread across the word and now used by everyone to point out three consecutive events.
Was it a bowler hat, like the toffs in The City wore?
as a south african myself i find that one where virat and ashwin are shouting at super sport funny as hell 😂
He is Brett Lee,an Australian fast bowler
He is one of the best and legend in our game
It was his last game at a professional level, and if that run out had been effected, it would have been a team hat-trick (bowler doesn't get credit for run-outs) and his team would have won the competition for that season. The Perth team (in orange), or WA teams in general, are very successful in all competitions.
Brett Lee was good McGrath was better
@@pauldobson2529 yes, WA put up good teams.. and NSW players get selected for the national side... 😁
@@sagirparkar4115 Yeah, we all know where the selectors reside, don't we? 🤫
Brett Lee (and Shane) is a local. Grew up a couple of kilometres where I'm from. Nice guy.
As an Australian who plays baseball as a starting pitcher, I know my cricket as well.
A hat trick is very similar to three up three down with just 3 pitches.
Another thing, the reaction time is a bit different in both as well. On average it’s around 0.3 of a second to react to a four seam and around 0.8 to a 140km fast bowler. In baseball though you have a pretty good idea where the pitch will be, around the strike zone. In cricket the ball can be almost anywhere. It could be a Yorker that’s lands at your feet, a bouncer that bounces up at your head and body. Cricket is a bit more dangerous too. People have died
Philips Hughes 69*
A guy in Brisbane a couple of weeks ago was playing against a team that needed 5 runs to win. He proceeded to take six wickets in six balls, ending up with a quadruple hat trick (balls 1-3, 2-4, 3-5, 4-6) and winning the game.
That was actually in the Gold Coast league.. Mudgeeraba skipper Gareth Morgan took 6 wkts in 6 balls in the last over...
As a Canadian what you just said made no sense to me but it made me want to learn more about this sport.
It's called a king hat trick mate not a quadruple hat trick.
@@andrewharvey1289, never heard of a king hat trick before but have definitely seen the term quadruple hat trick previously. If 6 in 6 is a king hat trick, what is 5 in 5 and 4 in 4?
@@markwestaway7207
4 wickets in 4 consecutive balls used to be called a Double Hattrick......but everything is now changed or still changing.
The Socialist Gestapo are changing history, language meaning, law etc etc, forcing the changes onto society and claiming to be DEMOCRATIC !!!
A hat trick is more of a lifetime achievement at the pro level. I got one at school and it felt amazing. It is definitely a lot more rare than a grand slam.
I am 15 years old and I’ve been playing cricket since I was 6 years old and at first I thought the game was extremely confusing but now after playing it for almost 10 years I absolutely love it. The best thing I’ve ever done in the game is get a 6 wicket haul while also getting 32 runs in the same game . I absolutely love it. My idol in the game is definitely MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli and it is just such a fun game that gets a lot of hate for no reason but I absolutely love it
The heartbreak clip was of Australian Player Brett Lee, he is one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time. And that clip is from Final of a league and that was his last game of career
Yes, bowls like 160kph+
@@AT-ti8xe Bowled 160+ one time, generally bowls 145 - 150 which is also a really good pace
LOL he is/was the most consistently fast bowler ever. Yes maybe Shoaib and Thompson may have a slightlty faster 'fastest' ball - but if you looked at avg speeds, Brett Lee is one of a kind.
Consistently 145-155 througout his careet, maybe 140-150 in the final years. Now we get excited if a Mark Wood or Lockie Ferguson gets one occasional 147k delivery. 147 was Brett Lee's avg.@@ramshrivastava6333

Btw, I was at Singleton Park in Abertawe in 1968 when Garry Sobers (Nottinghamshire & West Indies) became the first man to score six consecutive sixes in first class cricket. It was one of very few occasions when, as a teenager, I was speechless. I was supporting the other team, Morgannwg.
That must have been incredible to see
I dont think anything would beat kiwi Lance Cairns 6 sixes v Aussie in the early 80s he was a legend
My elder brother saw that too.
Cricket is as much a mind game as it is a physical sport. Planning and on the moment decisions play a massive role in the result. The captain is not just a figure head like in some other sports but his moment to moment decision in the field, for which he has to bear sole responsibility, make or break the game. Ability to stay calm under pressure is an immensely valued skill in cricket.
cricket can make a person immortal.
You can't live forever, but watching cricket will make it feel like you are
Brett Lee was a legendary bowler, second fastest bowler after Shoaib Akhtar in that generation, they're both very good friends now but they used to go toe to toe with each other
That run out from that ball from far even shocked me 😂,I mean how did he even do it.I would haven't felt bad but amazed if i were the batsman.
There was a boundary catch, women's international in the last couple of seasons, where the catcher saved it, throwing it up and back over the boundary, then recovered herself and caught the ball for a dismissal. One of the best I ever saw, must try to find it.
I don’t follow cricket but if my brother was still alive he’d.. of been able to tell you all the rules and ins and outs of the game . ❤
Sorry about his loss😢
Cricket Explained to a Foreigner
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
Each man that’s in the side that’s in the field goes out and when he’s out comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
Sometimes there are men still in and not out.
There are men called umpires who stay out all the time, and they decide when the men who are in are out.
Depending on the weather and the light, the umpires can also send everybody in, no matter whether they’re in or out.
When both sides have been in and all the men are out (including those who are not out), then the game is finished.

The incredible highs and lows of cricket, the ducks and endurance, the speed and slow spin of balls the dropped balls, magnificent catches and stumpings are what we all love about the game, but the strategy of a Captain positioning players on the field depending on the bowler and the type of ball he will bowl a particular batsman is next level Mastermind. I have loved cricket all my life and like American kids shooting hoops in their front driveway or practicing their baseball catching and swinging, I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s with every boy and girl on the street playing cricket with the stumps painted on a power pole and different front gardens being nominated fours or sixes until our parents called us in for dinner. Then running my boy to after school training and matches on weekends. He is in his 50’s now and retired as President of his local Club where he was successful in providing a new club house with the inclusion of separate shower and change rooms to encourage female players to join the club, one being his youngest daughter. His fast bowling days are over with both knees having been blown out, but he is still playing as a senior. Welcome to the 2 billion + club of cricket lovers.
The best match ever played. South Africa vs Aus. 438 runs
The five of my grandsons who live and go to school in Canada play both baseball and cricket, and both soccer and CFL, according to the season. Winter is hockey, of course!! The 12-yr old, Adam jnr compares the sports as checkers (CFL & Baseball) and chess (Soccer & cricket). 😂

Hatricks are a little bit more rare than 4 points at one time in baseball, and often do not occur in any separate tournament in cricket. It is considered a miracle to get one, and it completely changed the game no matter when or where it occurs HOPE THIS HELPS!!😊

For an American just discovering Cricket after watching only a couple of videos. i'm very impressed at your video how it points out particular things like rare dismissals and hat tricks, etc. I feel that you will get on top of the rules in no time.
Cricket has LAWS. Cricket tournaments have RULES.
Dam respect to you for reviewing this. Always love an American perspective
Start watching cricket America you will love cricket
I recommend watching Brian Lara for the most beautiful stroke play the game of Cricket offers.
Hat tricks are rare because of the variables involved with bowling. The ground, bowling technique, wind,ground moisture, as well as calibur of batsman. Love that Americans watch Cricket, I know its a million miles away from watching baseball.
This is late, but there's been 22 hat-ricks in T20 IPL, 46 in Test Cricket and 50 in ODI...
The player wearing pink jersey on screen at 3:31 timestamp is Brett Lee, one of the all time great fast bowlers and one of two of the fastest bowlers ever bowling at 100mph. This was his last professional match playing for a club team, as had already retired from National Team which is the most prestigious level of teams in Cricket. Those 3 balls were the last 3 balls of his professional career and he almost pulled off an unbelievable tie. Scores of both team were tied and the orange team needed to score 1 run of 3 balls which isn’t tough, but Binga(aka Brett Lee) just made it too tough for them by claiming two outs and then an almost run out on the last ball. Had the run out happened then the match with have been tied and the teams would go in the super-over where both team play for 6 balls again. This could have been the best farewell to any cricket great, specially to a fast baller who has had a 20 year career. Fast ballers usually don’t last that long, and most definitely are not that fast at that point of their career.
There is nothing in the world like watching Ricky Ponting catch a ball side on to the stumps, and peg it directly on target to run somebody out while he is still flying through the air. That dude was insane.
And they kept taking him on, surely it's a giant no if goes anywhere near him
2:00 What makes it even more impressive is that a cricket ball is a harder and heavier ball than a baseball.
The more you learn about cricket the more you will love it. Test matches can last for five days and be absolutely riveting
I'm from England ,
Baseball vs Cricket
Both are great sports , both are very old sports with incredible histories , incredible players past and present !
Indeed, both sports ARE extremely good tactical and strategic games. As an Englishman you will be very happy to read up on the winner of the first ever Baseball World Cup held in 1938...Mr Google can assist.
Yesssa bro, Finallyyy! New video up
CRICKET IS JUST THE BRUTTTAAALLLLLLL 🔥🔥🔥 FORM OF BASEBALL 👼 and very entertaining as well 😉
The thing about cricket is that people don't really remember who wins a game or series, it's the moral victories that count.
You are right when you said that a player has to throw the ball before it touches the ground
Fantastic video. I'm from Perth, Western Australia. The Perth Scorchers our home team. That final was a little controversial, given they refused to play it in Perth, despite us finishing top of the ladder. They insisted it was played at a weird neutral ground in the middle of nowhere. Things were stacked against us, it looked like a tough task. Then our two bowlers as you saw ran anyway, the sixers fumbled the ball and we made it across the line to win the champions trophy. It was freaking epic!
Brett Lee the fast bowler on the hat trick, was previously a top class player who played for Australia, absolutely superb bowler over the years in big competitions such as the ASHES and world cups. I'm sure there are some Sixer's fans on here who can tell more.
Hat tricks are extremely rare. Alot of factors to be able to get one. Being Australian I can only think of two off the top of my head, there is more. Shane Warne and Glen McGrath. Also check out Shane Warne's debut bowling in the ASHES, man was a freak!
And from memory "They" did not have a choice given Western Australia was closed off from other States as a result of the COVID situation. The West closed its' gates to the other States and hence the decision was made to play in the ACT our National Capital on a ground frequently used for the BBL
There have been at least ELEVEN (11) hat tricks by Australian bowlers in the history of Test cricket alone,(and 14 by the Poms), all listed in Wisdens. Who can forget the memorable call by Tubby Taylor "Peter Siddle has taken a hat trick on his birthday" at the Brisbane Ashes Test in November 2010.
Having followed Brett's career from when he played Under 19's, he still holds the equal second best ever (measured) speed for a bowled ball together with Shaun Tait and behind Akhtar. I believe he holds the fastest AVERAGE over ever bowledd
@@flamingfrancis Dude, Manuka oval final was in 2015! That had nothing to do with covid? What are you on about?
React to the Afghanistan vs Australia game from this years World Cup! It was one of the most exciting games of all time, and Glenn Maxwell’s score of 201 is now being considered the greatest ODI innings ever played
😂against afgan?come on man
Now he just got a fast century under 50 balls against India in a T20.Stick that up your jumper !!!
@@jerrellholder8382 Showing your ignorance there. Afghanistan defeated titleholders England, former WC winners Pakistan and former WC winners Sri Lanka during the recent tournament.
I would say a cricket hat trick is equivalent to a baseball pitcher's perfect or 3-pitch inning. Perfect inning is probably a little more rare than a hat trick, but with the shorter forms of the game, hat tricks are becoming more common.
Internationally, there have been just 151 in all forms of the game for men. It might sound a lot but consider there have probably been 10000 games played, that's just 1.5%.
I remember Steve Avery of Atlanta throwing a 4-pitch inning in maybe the 1991 World Series...don't remember any perfect innings. Immaculate innings - 9 pitches, 9 strikes, 3 outs - are very rare, and far rarer than hat-tricks. In baseball, I'd say unassisted triple plays, immaculate innings, perfect innings, 2 grand slams from the same player in a single inning - are far rarer than hat-tricks. 10 wickets by a bowler in an innings are rarer than hat-tricks. And hat-tricks at the end of a limited over innings aren't all that rare. Batter comes in towards the end of an innings, has to swing for the fences, and then tailend batters often aren't all that competent.
Totally agree. I sat there dumbfounded watching Maxwell. How can you bat like that after nearly full body cramps! Another is Mitch Marsh's Ashes Century in England 5 months ago.
Your curiosity and appreciation for our sport is so wholesome bro 😂
Hat trick in cricket , extraordinarily rare !
Getting a hatrick is a very special feat for any bowler, as in cricket hatrick is achieved when a bowler dismisses 3 batsmen in 3 consecutive balls. A pretty difficult task to do achieve. Many good bowlers never achieve that in their international career, however most best bowlers of the game did. It is just a wonderful sporting experience for the individual player, their team and the supporters.
Cricket is called a gentleman’s game, where opposition supporters also clap on a players scoring boundaries, centuries, getting hatrick, doing exceptional fielding.
That play at 3:31 was between Perth scorchers and Sydney 6ers in the t20 league. Those two teams had some epic battles. Brett lee had a great career playing for the Australian teams.
Just found your channel and watches this video you are doing a great job and learning fast T20 world cup in the US and carribean right now and the uSA playing very well I see it has to take off some day
Especially in test cricket, getting a hat trick is so incredibly rare. Most of the best bowlers have one hat trick is very rare. It requires exceptional skill or tremendous luck
As an Aussie kid in Sydney I played cricket of course but I also loved American sports like baseball and football. Playing cricket, trust me you wish you had a glove on, the ball is like trying to catch a house brick. If your technique is just off it hurts like hell. I had to play wicket keeper one day as the CK was sick. Even with gloves, my hands hurt for days afterwards. Fielding one time the ball bounced awkwardly and hit me in the thigh, I was limping for days.
Having said that, playing baseball at high levels is really hard, even hitting the ball from a good pitcher is super tough. I played at state level and luckily we had an American batting coach that taught me good technique. I fielded at Short Stop and the balls come back at an incredible speed.
As an Indian kid playing in my schoolground, I got hit by a cricket ball in the knees while wicket keeping without pads and it was like getting hit by a bullet. I was knocked out for a few seconds and I wake up a few metres away with my teammates carrying me. It's pretty hard to play with a cricket ball without pads or gloves, normally we use a tennis or rubber ball or tape ball (a tennis ball that's wrapped with tape to help it stay hard and swing more).
Back to back three wickets taken by the bowler in three consecutive legal delieveries called a 'hatrick'..its very precious n uncommon..
7:19 in cricket we don't say announcer but rather commentator and the live coverage of the match is called commentary. The feeling is well enjoyed while hearing on a radio like yester years even before the advent of television
Yeah you're very right on the catches I play 12th Division local cricket & the few catches i've taken hurt alot the ones you drop though hurt more because you usually get it on the finger.
Brett Lee who was the guy playing his final game had been an Australian Player for ages & That was his last professional game & it was the final of the Australian T20 League.
The Hatrick is actually from game of Cricket, a bowler in the past got three wickets and the empire and all the players on both teams felt like it was such an amazing trick, the empire past a hat around
Yes, at 3:35, that was Bret Lee and he was a very famous player. He's retired now. That clip was from the Australian domestic T20 competition. The T20 format is the shortest form of cricket. Hope this helps.
3:36 yes, he was a big player. One of the fastest bowlers (similar pitchers) in the history of the sport.
A hat-trick is so rare that i have only ever heard of them, haven't actually seen any bowler take them live.
And a cricket ball is hard as a rock. Unbelievably harder than a baseball.
For a baseball comparison, a hat-trick is probably a bit rarer than a triple-play
Certainly at Test level.
But more frequent than an unassisted double play...that would be like a double hat-trick...4 wickets in four balls. Hat-tricks are more common in limited over cricket, towards the end of an innings, when quick runs (and more reckless shots) are needed. I don't recall any in the recent world cup, which only finished on Sunday.
@@pauldobson2529 That's not close to being true. I have seen multiple clips of professional baseballers making unassisted TRIPLE plays. Your idea that hattricks are common largely stems from every hattrick in professional cricket ending up on youtube.
There have apparently been 15 unassisted triple plays in MLB. In all of professional cricket (not just international but down to county) 4 wickets in 4 balls appears to have happened 6 times though I wouldn't be surprised if some have been missed by the site I'm reading this off. Similarly I suspect unassisted double plays are significantly more common than hattricks although it's hard to get accurate statistics on this.
@@timbrom For the record, a read of Wisdens (the official written record of World cricket and like Baseball's Almanac) will show that there have been ELEVEN hat tricks by Aussies in all Tests (since 1877) and also 14 hat tricks by the English in all of their Tests. Aussies and England have played 361 Tests.
@@ribbonsofnight Since 1990, there have been 7 unassisted triple plays, but 27 hattricks in Test cricket. I chose 1990 because there was a 63-year gap before then for unassisted triple plays. And there'd be a much larger number in ODI's of 20-over or 50-over limits, because of the nature of the game. By comparison, there were 121 grand slams in 2023 MLB and 10 immaculate innings over the last 2 seasons.
6:48 this is an interesting one. He was out LBW (LEG before wicket). However that name is a bit misleading. Whilst it most commonly is the leg it strikes in a LBW it doesn't have to be the leg. It only has to be anything other than the bat (or by extension the hand holding the bat).
I’d say a hat-trick is very rare as most batsmen facing the hat-trick ball (3rd wicket) will use a defensive shot as it’s very embarrassing to: A. Be the one who gave the bowler the hat-trick; and B. Go out with a duck (0 runs). It’s only with very rare game circumstances that the batsmen is forced to play the ball and can result in a hat-trick. This is why most hat-tricks are the result of LBW (leg before wicket) when the batsmen is trying to block the ball. Hope this was helpful 😅
Matches in the 2024 Twenty-20 cricket World Cup will be played in Dallas, Long Island and Miami in June.
Cricket balls are hard like rock ,so catching it with barehands isnt easy .
hattrick in international cricket is extremely rare, it happens once in a year or even once in 2 years.
One big difference that makes cricket catches even more awesome is that a cricket ball is a lot harder than a baseball
The line inside the pitch border is a fairly new thing. So that is what allows the spectacular catches that get thrown back to a team mate. Cricket players generally don't have any problems with their hands catching balls - no soreness or anything. Your hand basically goes with the direction of the ball. A "hat trick" is extremely rare. It means to get a 3 batsmen out in 3 balls.
One of the things that confuses baseball players is when cricket players "work the ball". During a spell of bowling they'll actually spit on, and polish, one side of the ball. You cant dig fingernails in it, or rub it on the ground to rough it up, but polishing it is fine. You'll notice that bowlers sometimes have a red streak on their pants - that's from rubbing the ball.
They do it because it you manage to keep one side of the ball fairly polished, while the other side natural degrades due to play, the ball will swing more.
To be bowling for a hat trick is pretty common but to actually get the wicket on the third ball is what's rare.
For example, my 16 year old son in the last 3 seasons has bowled for a hat trick 19 times, yet only has one.
Special moment for him as it was his first seniors game at 14. He was given the ball after the game as a momento and it now sits proudly on his bookshelf 😊
There have been 2518 test matches played over 146 years.
During that time there have only been 46 hattricks taken at test level (less than one every three years).
Plenty more in first class fixtures, one-day games, and even a few in T20 games.
Only 4 players have ever taken more than one test hattrick
- in 1999, Pakistan's Wasim Akram took 2 hattricks in consecutive test matches, a bit over a week apart.
- in 1912, Australia's Jimmy Matthews took 2 hattricks in the SAME match. Despite taking them in different innings, they were both taken entirely on the SAME DAY!
Re: the outfield catching/fielding on/near the boundary, the standards have risen vastly in recent years due to increased professionalism, all-round fielding and overall athleticism.
You're asking all the right questions. BTW I know baseball is a stats heavy game but to quote Bachman Turner Overdrive, "bbbbaby, you aint seen nothing yet."
G'day. Good on ya, mate. A cricket ball is like a round brick. I have taken some classic catches in my lunchtime and my hands are still ringing.
It is nice to see you enjoy cricket. Actually a Hattrick is very rare. It doesn‘t even happen every season of HBL PSL(The Pakistani super league) . And I think only the world class bowlers who kept their form for more than 10 years have over 5 Hattricks in their career. Correct if I‘m wrong but I think this is it. And to get a Hattrick in international cricket is just world class and then in a World Cup this is one of the rarest things in cricket
I play cricket amateur level on weekends in England.40/50 overs format the standard format takes form mid day to 6.30 pm
I only played club cricket, medium pace swing. I once got 4 wickets in 5 balls, W,W, ., W,W. Its something you remember forever, rare to get a hat trick whick i never got. That day i got my best ever figures, 7-23, took the best ever caught and bowled of my life, great memories.
The strangest event I saw in a match was a batsman scoring 13 run off one ball, stemming from two overthrows and a run.
Nice video!
I remember reading Cricket was the US summer sport till the civil war when it was easier to pick up a round stick than carry a bat. Catching a ball at speed can hurt like hell.
Hattrick is really really rare why this one is even more special is because it was the first 3 delivery of the match
A hat trick is very rare. It’s not just one bowler taking three wickets, it’s one bowler taking three wickets on *consecutive* balls.
That ball is friggen hard, hard like a rock and im not kidding
A hat-trick is, in baseball terms, is similar to a triple play - second, first and then home. The most weird hat-trick was made by Merv Hughes, an Australian fast bowler, against the West Indies. His first wicket was with the last ball of his over. Another bowler bowled his over, then Hughes took the 10th and final wicket of the innings with the first ball of his next over. Then with the first ball of his first over in the West Indies second innings, he took his hat-trick. You can actually watch it here in CZcams.
Hat-trick in Test cricket is probably equivalent to a Shutout in Baseball but even more rare as there's only been 46 in the history of the game. So more like an Immaculate innings but x3 in a row
WORLD CUP SEMI FINAL is on NOW.
Australia needs 213 to beat South Africa and go into the FINAL against India.
South Africa CHOKING AGAIN! 🤣🤣

That hattrick(3 wickets in a row) was missed by Brett lee(Legendary Australian bowler)
You just showed the widest bowl, the topest no-ball & two of the best sixes saved by fielders
Apart from very few one-sided(Where winning team can be predicted)matches, it's very unpredictable
Cricket is the roller-coaster of sports
As of 2021 there had been 46 hat-tricks in over 2000 Test matches going back to 1877. I was at the Oval in 2017 and saw one of those 46, but hardly anyone realised it was a hat trick because (a) it took place over the space of two overs and (b) the third wicket won the match.
It's difficult to understand, but when you finally understand it, it is an amazing game. Test cricket is the pinacol. It goes for some days, but it is a game of strategy and management of players and the all-important final outcome.
The best team wins, usually.
Catching without gloves - Soft hands and let the ball come to you . The joy of taking the wicket will ease any pain .
Soft hands is an expression from baseball....something coaches look for in infielders...their ability to trap the ball in the infielders glove.
@@flamingfrancis sometimes in Phys Ed we'd play a bit of baseball not much though . We all played Aussie Rules in winter and Cricket in summer . Catching with a glove took a little getting used to . Stretching out and going for a one hander is the same either way without gloves , while with gloves we were always trying to feed it into the Left hand . After growing up catching bare handed we didn't drop many .
Shane Warne, the world’s best ever spinner was the fair haired guy crouching.
Catching a cricket ball is also difficult because it’s rock hard, much harder than a baseball and much smaller.
A hat trick is when a bowler bowls out 3 batsmen in a row with 3 balls. It’s very rare and most professional bowlers playing professional cricket only get maybe one or two in their entire career.
The white uniforms are usually for Test matches (5 days). The coloured uniforms are for shorter forms like One Day, 50 Overs, 20 Overs & Big Bash.
Dude Sunday is the Cricket World Cup....don't miss it
getting a hat-trick is quite difficult especially in test matches. On a hat-trick ball, batters usually play the delivery safer than they would usually, i.e., a defensive stop and not going for a hit, just to stop the bowler from getting a hat-trick
In test match cricket, considered the highest level, there have been 46 hat tricks taken from 1879 to the present day. They are more common in 50 over a side version where the batting is a lot more aggressive (50 since 1971). the 20 over format (T20's) have 55 in about a 15 year span.
It was Brett Lee, a really fast bowler. He has bowled over 100 mph. It's terrifying to stand in front of anything like that. A famous English reporter named Piers Morgan sledged Lee one time, so Lee dared him to bat one over against him (six deliveries or what you might call six balls). Piers did it. He was visibly horrified by the experience at the end, but he stood his ground and dared Lee to bring it on. As the ball is bouncing and has a seam, it's unpredictable where it goes, and it's rock hard, and you can aim for and hit the player with no foul.
The Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground is a must see, if you're in town. Great on the TV with a coldie as well. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
hatrik in cricket is like triple striking three opponents out on consecutively balls in baseball. how rare is that !
Not as rare as an immaculate inning by a pitcher...9 pitches, 9 strikes, 3 strikeouts. Or a batter hitting 2 grand slams in a single inning, or even a single game.
One other thing that I have heard Americans say, is "Oh look they are catching the ball, without wearing any gloves"
If you can I would suggest you catch the Cricket World Cup final this Sunday. It’s available on ESPN+ here in the US. It’s two of the best teams in the world in India and Australia and the atmosphere should be cracking.
Usually after two consecutive wickets, third batsman tries to duck the ball at all cost trying to avoid hat-trick and not losing another wicket. So it is rare and extremely hard.
You asked who it was 3:40, this is Australian legend Brett Lee bowling the final over of the game in the grand final of the Australian T20 competition near the end of his career.
The other team needed 1 run off the final 3 balls, he got two wickets in a row & then his teammate made a mistake on the last ball.
I was at this game in my home town & its still my all time favorite moment I've seen live, even if the Sixers (Brett Lee's tean) lost.
He was my favourite player growing up and was also one of the fastest & most vicious bowlers in the world for a long time regularly bowling 145/150 km/h and on occasion bowling 160km/h (100mp/h!!)
