Australian local cricketers making headline once again as this time by bowling attack, playing in the local leagues, seem to be making a habit of achieving some remarkable feats. Only recently, Josh Dunstan, playing for West Augusta B Grade in South Australia, smashed 307 in a 35 overs per side match where he strikes 40 sixes in his whirlwind knock. His triple-century made up more than 86 percent of West Augusta's 354 for nine. And now, a Victorian third-grade cricketer has achieved another astonishing feat, this time with the ball in hand. Nick Gooden, playing for Yallourn North in the Central Gippsland cricket competition, managed to incredibly taking a triple hat-trick, which basically means five wickets in five balls.
Not just that, Gooden ended up taking a total of eight wickets from just 10 deliveries. "There’s nothing special about it, there’s definitely no pace involved," "I just roll the arm over, I'm not fast or anything like that. I really wasn't bowling very well," said Gooden. "I started with two wides ... one was a big off-side wide and the other was a big leg-side wide and everyone was laughing at me." "But for some reason, I just couldn't miss, and I hadn't trained or anything so it was out of control."
