Hat-trick with two balls!
|

Former Australian captain Lindsay Hassett was well-known for his wry and dry wit.
Richie Benaud summed his life up perfectly:: “There are others who have made more runs and taken more wickets, but very few have ever got more out of a lifetime.”
Once in the early 1950s, while a Test series was in progress, one player was rumoured to spend a night with three women.
Next morning at breakfast, Hassett, the skipper, greeted him with open arms and said, "Congratulations. You're the only man ever to achieve a hat-trick with two balls."
