Almost a hat-trick #euphoriacricket #hattrick
  • 8 days ago
After years of practice, trials, and injuries, you finally make your international debut and pick up two wickets in two balls. You are on a hat-trick, pumped up to bowl the next ball and claim that hat-trick. Now, there's a billion-to-one chance that the hat-trick ball hits the stumps but the bails don't fall. Sounds like a movie scene, right? Well, it happened to Chris Tremlett of England. Tremlett, on his debut against Bangladesh, was bowling his 5th over. His second ball induced an inside edge, hitting the stumps. He got the next batter caught behind on the following ball and was now on a hat-trick. The third ball hit the top of the bails, but they didn’t fall, leaving the entire crowd and players in shock as they watched.
