[Cricket] Somerset v Sussex LV county championship 8-6-14

[Badger]

Sorry, that was my fault, I left my desk for two minutes to go and talk to someone and when I came back TWO wickets had fallen.

EDIT: No it's ok, the hat-trick was completed when I was still here.

Sweet Jesus, this is horrendous. Five down for no runs.

[Simster]

33/5 (five)

and that's 4 wickets in 4 balls for Thomas

I wonder when that last happened in first class cricket?

 

[martin tyler]

Might as well attack now at least try and make them bat again

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Freak occurrence.

Wright, Brown, Piolet and Beer to add 300 now.

 

[Gwylan]

I wonder when that last happened in first class cricket?

I remember Alan Ward doing that about 40 odd years ago and Pat Pocock did something similar against Sussex but wasn't quite 4 in 4 IIRC, he got something like 6 in 9

EDIT: Just looked it up, he did get 4 in 4 and ended up with 7 in 11 balls. Amazingly, Sussex didn't lose

This suggests it happened last year
