A hat-trick by Rangana Herath against Australia! (video)
Sri Lankan bowler Rangana Herath was successful enough to claim a hat-trick against Australia in the Second Test played in Galle between Sri Lanka and Australia.
This in fact is the second hat-trick recorded as having been taken in a Test Match by Sri Lanka and the Australians who were exhausted because of this feat also in the process had to carve their name on the record books being
dismissed for a paltry 106, thus recording the fact that it was the lowest total they had made in a Test with the Sri Lankan team. When Rangana Herath was bowling the 25th over of the Australian innings it was in that over that he was able to achieve the hat-trick by dismissing Adam Voges, Peter Neville and Mitchel Starc. On that occasion though an appeal for leg before wicket was made against Mitchel Starc for the third wicket, the umpire had turned down the appeal and in that instance Captain Angelo Matthews had the decision checked by the Third Umpire after which the batsman was given the dismisal and on that decision Herath was able to record his hat-trick in the books.
