***Surrey County Cricket Club vs Sussex County Cricket Club *** Offical Match Thread

[Gwylan]

Interestingly, Warwickshire have just bowled Somerset out for 406 and Rikki Clarke has taken the last two wickets in consecutive balls. Now if Warwickshire don't bowl again in the match and he takes a wicket with his first ball in the next match then does he have a hat-trick?

No. If he takes a wicket with his first ball in the next innings it would be (Merv Hughes did this in a test match once) but a hat trick can't be extended across matches.

It should be pointed out that there's no official definition of hat trick in the laws of cricket but no statistician would count a hat trick over two matches as being valid. This question came up in the summer when, I think, Steven Finn took two wickets with the last two balls. The TMS scorer was firm that he wasn't on a hat trick

Yes, and it is possible to get a split hat-trick with 2 splits...how? no googling.

Can that include the end of the day or session?

End of a second match perhaps i.e last man out in both games

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

I'm not sure that would be cricket...

Big club Surrey, we should know our place in the pecking order

Partnership now 188

Quite and that's why I've had a ticking off from one of the mods re post #148.

Now raining where I am and that is 5 miles away from the Oval.

No, it can't

Lets hope it rains at lunch

If you can include the end of the day, someone could take the 9th wicket in the last over of the day in a team's 1st innings, come back in the morning and take the last wicket in the innings with the next ball, and then come back and take the 1st of the 2nd innings.

 

[simmo]

You are on the right lines

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Perhaps add the equation of a player getting injured in an over (i.e another bowler finishes the over) and returns later

See, it's possible to discuss the cricket in a rational way and we don't make wickets tumble

Joyce GONE for 98.

That'll teach me

ED Nooo, 98 and gets bowled. Well played anyhow

Well quite.

The very next ball.

You are pretty much there. Merv Hughes has done it at test level, listed in here...

Merv Hughes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First innings he gets the 9th wicket with the 6th ball of over...over complete.....then 10th wicket with the 1st ball of next over.... innings closes. Hat trick is completed with a wicket with his 1st ball of second innings, hat trick complete with 2 splits.
