Kathmandu : Australian Josh Hazelwood has clinched a hat-trick in the warm-up game against West Indies. It was not an official encounter so the hat-trick will not be counted, but still for the bowler, it was one enjoyable moment.
Hazelwood took the wicket of Jason Holder, Maron Samuels and Dwayne Bravo. Holder was trapped lbw by the tall fast bowler. It was a good length ball and Holder missed the shot completely and were in front of the stumps when the ball hit him on his pads.
Samuels was the next man gone. He was walking in a casual manner as he has always been seen but, this time, he lasted for just one ball.
This time, the ball had pace and Samuels clearly was not expecting this much pace from hazelwood.. the ball came in and went through the defenses of Samuels and he was clearly baffled with the pace, line and length on this one.
His castle was down and then bravo made the entry. For a hat-trick ball, Hazelwood needed a special ball and his third man was special. This one hit the perfect length area and went on. Bravo did try to cover the ball with his bat but Hazelwood was much better this time again.
