A Staffordshire cricketer has described achieving one of the rarest feats in the game as “a bit surreal” but “amazing” after taking six wickets in six balls.<\/p>\n

Fast bowler Myles Davis completed the double hat-trick playing for Penkridge against Pelsall in the Premier Division of the South Staffordshire County League on Saturday., external<\/a><\/p>\n

After Penkridge had won the toss and made 168 all out, Pelsall, who were without former England spinner Monty Panesar,<\/a> were 49-2 after eight overs, with Davies having already picked up his first wicket in his third over.<\/p>\n

He started the ninth over with a wide before readjusting his radar with devastating effect.<\/p>\n

Davis clean bowled two batters with the final two deliveries of his over, sending his watching club-mates scrambling for their mobile phones to film the hat-trick ball at the start of his next one.<\/p>\n

That duly arrived to a catch down the legside to the wicketkeeper, before the phones went away – only to come out again after the next batter was bowled.<\/p>\n

Davies then knocked out the middle stump of the next batter and sealed his sixth wicket in six balls by removing the off stump of another to leave Pelsall 49-9.<\/p>\n

“It’s still a bit surreal, but it’s an amazing achievement,” Davis told BBC Midlands Today.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t know what to think, to be honest. When the fourth [wicket] happened I was just amazed and it just carried on. I couldn’t believe it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Staffordshire cricketer has described achieving one of the rarest feats in the game as “a bit surreal”…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":555167,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-555166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=555166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/555167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=555166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=555166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=555166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
