Wicket keepers and Hattrick

Wicket-keepers are allowed to take off their pads and bowl, and this is not uncommon when matches are drifting to draws or a bowling team is desperate for a wicket. Two keepers have removed their pads and taken hat-tricks in first-class cricket: Probir Sen for Bengal v Orissa at Cuttack in 1954-55 and A.C. (Alan) Smith for Warwickshire v Essex at Clacton in 1965; Smith was a most unusual player in that he was primarily a wicket-keeper, but was sometimes selected as a frontline bowler.

4 Wicket-keepers in an inning

During the England—New Zealand Test Match at Lord's in 1986, England's specialist keeper, Bruce French was injured during England's first innings. England then used 4 keepers in New Zealand's first innings: Bill Athey kept for the first two overs; 45-year-old veteran Bob Taylor was pulled out of the sponsor's tent to keep, immaculately, for overs 3 to 76; Bobby Parks, the Hampshire keeper, was called up for overs 77 to 140; and Bruce French kept wicket for the final ball of the innings.

I have just found out an very weird fact and thought about sharing it, apparently in the first youth test between sri lanka and england the game was held up becasue a large iguana crept accross the wicket. For those of you who don't know what it is an iguana is a large lizard. You wouldn't wan't to look at its pictures , its ugly.

This happened in 1987.

But how is that possible? Especially in the moedern era.

The term "Hat trick" is from a quaint old English custom where the bowler claimed the hats of the onlookers.

 

[spaceshot]

^ That's half the fact and half an info always looks silly tbh.

The feat led to the flinging of hats in the air by the onlookers as a gesture of appreciation and then follows your statement.

Ravichandran Ashwin represented India u-17 as a pure batsmen. After his U-17 selection, Ashwin was representing Tami Nadu u-19, captained by current Tamil movie actor Vishnu Vishal(also represented U-17 India, U-17 state, Tamil Nadu Ranji team and preliminary squad for the 2002 U-19 India). In a match Tamil Nadu was being pounded and the captain was trying out every player to break through the Baroda(or Mumbai) batting order. He tossed the ball to Ashiwn, ashwin ended up picking 5 wickets in the first winning. He ended up picking up 5 wickets again in the second inning. This is when Ashwin started focusing on his off spin.
