His first ball of the next innings, definitely counts.

In a different match though? No, sorry, I'm not having that.

Email came in on TMS saying that a bloke playing club cricket took two wickets with the last two balls of last season.

Still waiting for tomorrow's first game of this season to have a go at the hat-trick ball.

Shows what a shambles test cricket is in, how much is it to go and watch this £50 or £60 to watch a poor England bully an abysmal West Indies.

England are far from poor at home. The windies though are in a sorry state. Personally I think it's sad to see, but people just aren't into cricket on some of the Carribean Islands any more. Football was always big, but since the WC was expanded to 32 nations, an cricket playing island seems to qualify every time. And basketball is also far more popular than cricket these days too.

Just because someone e-mailed it in, it doesn't make it a fact, you know.

Load of nonsense, seriously. No way on earth is it a hat-trick, across different games / opposition.

Well done Strauss a good ton.

I've got tickets for Sunday, my first ever visit to Lords.
I'm hoping to see England smash through the Windies second innings and win by an innings and plenty.

Trott gone, let's hope the right KP has turned up today. Tough batting conditions out there.
