5 part-time bowlers who picked up hat-tricks

JP Duminy has a World Cup hat-trick to his name

2. Vivian Richards

One of Viv Richards’s unlikely achievements is a List-A hat-trick

Legendary West Indian cricketer Vivian Richards is considered to be one of the greatest cricketers to have ever played the game. Richards is remembered mainly for his memorable deeds with the bat in hand but he was also a decent bowler and was employed every now and then to roll his arm over.

One of the lesser known facts about the iconic cricketer is the fact that he has a List-A hat-trick to his name. Richards, who played for Somerset, pulled off this feat in a match against Essex at Chelmsford. It was a 40-over match which had been reduced to a 10-over affair and the Antiguan master grabbed a hat-trick during his spell of 4 for 9.
