Boland 10th Australian to take hat-trick in Tests; check who are 9 others

The Australian pacer, Scott Boland, etched his name into the history books of cricket early on Tuesday morning with a Test hat-trick in the third Test against the West Indies at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica. Boland, while bowling just his second over in the innings, got the wickets of Justin Graves, Shamar Joseph and Jomel Warrican on the first three balls of the over to become the 10th Aussie bowler to claim a Test hat-trick.

 

Before Boland, the last Australian to secure a Test hat-trick was Peter Siddle, who achieved this milestone against England at Brisbane back in 2010. F R Spofforth was the first Australian to take a Test hat-trick, back in 1879. 

 

H Trumble and T J Matthews are the only two Aussie bowlers to have two Test hat-tricks to their names. Both of Trumble’s hat-tricks came against England—first in 1902, then in 1904. Meanwhile, T J Matthews is the only bowler to have two hat-tricks in the same match. He achieved this with hat-tricks in both innings of the Test match against South Africa back in 1912.
