In lopes Perera
39.5 Umar Gul to Perera, OUT, and he goes first ball, playing all over a full and straight delivery that crashes into middle stump as Sri Lanka go down by 98 runs
PDRL Perera b Umar Gul 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Hatrick on ODIs when he plays the next one day cricket. Not in Twenty/20.

Tigers eye answered that. What I wonder how long the poor guy will have to wait to see if he gets his hat-trick.

You never know with Pakistan. I won't be surprised if he never get his chance again.

I am having a tough time explaining that to people in another forum. Can you help me find out the rules?

TE said it absolutely correctly. I've seen instances of hattricks involving multiple overs and innings in Tests but this would have to be a first. Its interesting that most of the promising pacers from Pakistan these days - Gul, Asif - are of the McGrath/Pollock mould. Where are the reverse swing merchants? Shoib seems to be the last one of that school.

No, no. By convention, all the wickets have to be taken in a single match (it could be in the first and second innings of the same match) for someone to take a hat-trick. So it will NOT be considered a hat-trick even if Gul takes a wicket with his next ball.

RQ mah brotha, how could you possibly bypass Mohammad Sharif and Alamgir Kabir, our very own "sultans of swing" ??? Blasphemy and sedition tightly rolled into one unsightly package ... hmm ...
