2016 Sri Lanka Vs Australia Second ODI - James Faulkner Claims Hat-Trick

 

Allrounder James Faulkner became the sixth Australian cricketer to claim a hat-trick in ODI's, achieving the feat in the second match against Sri Lanka on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old left-arm bowler got his first wicket when he trapped Kusal Perera leg-before with the final delivery of his eighth over.

He returned to dismiss Angelo Mathews with the first delivery of his ninth over, getting the rival captain caught at long-off, and bowled Thisara Perera with his next ball to complete the hat-trick.

Interestingly, Faulker became the first ever bowler to pick an ODI hat-trick without dismissing a single batsman for a duck.

James Faulkner, whose 4-38 in the first one-dayer earned him the man-of-the-match award and helped Australia take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series, finished with figures of 3-45.

The Austrlian Cricketers who have Claimed Hat Trick Before James Faulkner were

1)Bruce Reid against New Zealand @ Sydney Cricket Ground on Jan 29,1986

2)Anthony Stuart Against Pakistan @ Melbourne Cricket Ground on Jan 16,1997

3)Brett Lee against Kenya @ Kingsmead,Durban on March 15,2003

4)Dan Christian against Sri Lanka @  Melbourne Cricket Ground on March 02,2012

5)Clint McKay against England @Sophia Gardens,Cardiff on SEp 14,2013
