Aled Carey Scalps a double hat trick
29-year-old Australian bowler Aled Carey playing for Golden Point against East Ballarat, in a Ballarat Cricket Association fourth-team fixture bowled the incredible over. Carey had previously bowled eight overs without taking a wicket and the captain handed him over the ball to bowl the ninth over. That is when the magic happened.

On the very first delivery, he dismissed the batsman for a catch to the first slip while the second delivery also dismissed the batsman when he was caught behind by the wicket-keeper. The third batsman was dismissed leg-before-wicket as Carey celebrated his hat-trick.

The hat-trick celebrations had hardly ended when Aled went on to clean bowl his next batsman. The same feat occurred in the remaining two deliveries, finishing the over with no runs scored, six wickets fallen and two hat-tricks taken. All in a single over!
