2 hattys in a first class match has to be some seriously rare company

Which former Australian fast bowler played one game for the rebel Australian side on their second South African tour?

 

[Wallaby]

Was it Garth McKenzie?

 

[Gough]

Was it Garth McKenzie?

Correct sir, against the Griquas in Kimberley. He was 44 too, I bet he couldn't move the next day.

 

[Wallaby]

Mckenzie was an organiser/liaison manager for the tour.

Good question.

Naturally I’m gravitating to all rounders but I have a feeling it’s a specialist bowler

 

[Cold Sober]

How many bowlers have missed a test hat trick due to a dropped catch. I don't know the answer.
I remember Warney dropped one off Fleming.

Stab in the dark - is it Brian McMillan?

I know he made 3-4 hundreds but have a feeling he never took more than 4 in an innings

 

[PhatBoy]

Dammit - I was kind of close. McMillan was third....

 

[iluvparis]

Kasprowicz?

He probably would be the correct answer... if he were Australian

 

[ioppolo]

Kasper has a 6 or 7fa

Ah s**t.
Missed that part

For the record Mike Hendrick and Mashrafe Mortaza are the 1 and 2 overall

It isn’t Greg Blewett or Someone is it?

Steve Waugh? I don't reckon he ever took a test 5fa

 

[Roysforever]

Andrew Symonds?

Yeah i checked - he has 4 5fas - but no one higher on the list of wicket takers had less

Wayne Clark.

I know Andy Roberts also suffered this fate during England's second innings of the third Test of the 1976 series (the Grovel series). Early in the innings Roberts dismissed Brian Close and Bob Woolmer in successive balls but missed a hat trick. Later in the innings Roberts had Alan Knott caught in the gully and then Derek Underwood taken at third slip next ball. Roberts then had to wait while Wayne Daniel bowled a maiden and then there was a drinks break. Roberts then came in to bowl his hat trick ball at Mike Selvey, who edged the ball to slip where Gordon Greenidge dropped it and knelt for a few seconds with his head bowed as Roberts showed his disappointment. Selvey stuck around for 49 minutes before he was eventually dismissed, this time successfully caught by Greenidge off Roberts for 4. This ended the game, giving West Indies victory by 425 runs.
