Three bowlers took hat-trick on test debut, there is a special similarity in the careers of all three.

New Delhi. In international cricket, the feat of a bowler taking a hat-trick happens only occasionally. Although it is difficult to take a hat-trick in any format of cricket, but in Test cricket this task is considered to be the most difficult. The reason for this is that while in ODI and T20, batsmen take risks and play shots in the rush to score fast runs, there is no such restriction in the oldest format of cricket – Test cricket. This is the reason that in the 147-year history of Test cricket, only 46 hat-tricks have been recorded so far, in which four bowlers – Australia’s Hugh Trumbull and Jimmy Matthews, Pakistan’s Wasim Akram and England’s Steward Broad – have achieved this feat twice. Are.

In the history of Test cricket so far, three bowlers have achieved the feat of taking a hat-trick in their debut test. Maurice Allom of England, Peter Petherick of New Zealand and Damien Fleming of Australia have done this feat. These three bowlers made a great start to their career by taking wickets in three consecutive balls in their very first Test, but surprisingly their Test career could not last long. While Allom and Petherick could play less than 10 Tests, Fleming’s Test journey came to an end after only 20 Tests. The similarity between the debut Test hat-tricks of New Zealand’s Petherick and Australia’s Fleming was that they were recorded against Pakistan on the same ground. Not only this, both these hat-tricks were made in the month of October.

Allom was the first bowler to take a hat-trick in the debut test.
The first bowler to take a hat-trick in the debut test was England’s Morris Allom. This right-arm medium pace bowler took three wickets in consecutive balls in the Christchurch Test (New Zealand vs England) in January 1930. When Elom, who had a tall and muscular body, achieved this feat, he was only 23 years old. During New Zealand’s first innings, he took four wickets including a hat-trick in his eighth over. One run was scored on the first ball through legby while Stevie Dempster was bowled on the second ball. No wicket fell on the third ball but Tom Lawry was LBW on the fourth ball. He completed the hat-trick by getting Ken James caught by the wicketkeeper on the fifth ball and bowling Ted Bedlock on the sixth ball. In New Zealand’s first innings, Allom took 5 wickets for just 38 runs in 19 overs and the Kiwi innings was reduced to 112 runs. In New Zealand’s second innings also, he took three wickets for 17 runs and became the hero of England’s 8-wicket victory in the match.

However, after this charismatic debut test, Allom could play four more tests and his international career came to an end after just five tests. He took only six wickets in these four tests. In five tests, he has only 14 wickets in his name at an average of 18.92.

New Zealand’s Petherick repeated the feat after 45 years

45 years after Allom’s record, New Zealand’s off-break bowler Peter Petherick recorded a hat-trick in his debut Test against Pakistan (New Zealand vs Pakistan) in October 1976. However, despite his achievement, the Kiwi team lost the match by 6 wickets. On the first day of the Test, Petherick had dismissed Javed Miandad (163), Wasim Raja (0) and Intikhab Alam (0) on consecutive balls. Petherick got three wickets here during Pakistan’s first innings. He gave 103 runs in 18 overs. With the help of centuries from Miandad and Asif Iqbal, the Pakistani team was successful in scoring 417 runs in the first innings and restricted the Kiwi team to just 157 runs in the first innings. While playing follow-on, Pakistan team was given a target of 101 runs by scoring 360 runs in the second innings in New Zealand, which the team achieved by losing four wickets. Petherick also took two wickets in Pakistan’s second innings.

Peterika, who took five wickets including a hat-trick in his debut Test, had a Test career like Allom’s and he disappeared from international cricket after playing a total of 6 Tests. After the debut test, he took 11 wickets in his next 5 tests. He has 16 wickets in his name in six tests at an expensive average of 42.56. In his Test career, Peter could never take four or five wickets in an innings.

Last time Damien Fleming took a hat-trick in his debut test.

Australian fast bowler Damien Fleming achieved the feat of taking a hat-trick for the last time on his Test debut. While starting his Test career against Pakistan (Australia vs Pakistan) in Rawalpindi in October 1994, he dismissed Aamer Malik, Inzamam Ul on consecutive balls in the second innings. Haq and Salim Malik were out. Aamer Malik (65) was caught by Michael Bevan while Inzamam (0) was LBW. Salim Malik (237) was caught by wicketkeeper Ian Healy. Fleming had dismissed Aamer and Inzamam on the last two balls of his 23rd over, while Salim Malik was out on the first ball of his next over. In this test full of runs, Australia had scored 521 runs (declared innings) for 9 wickets in the first innings, in response to which Pakistan’s first innings was reduced to 260 runs and it had to follow on. In the second innings, taking on the Australian bowlers fiercely, Pakistan scored 537 runs which included a double century by captain Salim Malik. In the match, Australia had a target of 277 runs to win but by the end of the game on the fifth day, they had scored 14 runs after losing one wicket. This match was a draw. Fleming took four wickets for 75 runs in the first innings of the debut test and three wickets for 86 runs in the second innings.

Like the other two bowlers who took a hat-trick in the debut test, Fleming’s test career was also short and he could play only 20 tests. Fleming, an excellent swing bowler, did not get many opportunities in Tests because during his era there were established fast bowlers like Glenn McGrath, Jason Gillespie and Craig McDermott. He also had to miss some tests due to injury. In 20 Tests, Fleming took 75 wickets at an average of 25.89, which included 5 wickets in an innings three times. In March 2001, Fleming played the last Test of his career against India in Mumbai. However, in his career spanning more than six years, he played 88 ODIs and took 134 wickets at an average of 25.38.
