Dear Andrew,
ReplyDeleteMy Son in Law is Daryn Smit. His Five-fer against Lions - 30 March was 3.2 overs.
2 Maidens. 5 wickets for 5 runs - including a hat trick. His spell was uninterupted.
Q 1. Is this the fastest, in terms of balls bowled in a single spell, 5-fer incl a Hat Trick in SA First Class Cricket. 5 wickets in twenty balls incl HT
Q 2. What is the fastest and where would he rank.
Thank You in anticipation. Pat Smythe
