Nick Gooden became an instant star after claiming a triple hat-trick
Australian cricketers, 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-a-side match where he plundered 40 sixes in his whirlwind knock. His triple-century made up more than 86 per cent 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 take a triple hat-trick, which basically means five wickets in five balls.
And all this carnage because Gooden and his teammates wanted things to get over quickly to "get on the frothies"
