Watch: Scott Boland Becomes 1st Bowler To Take Hat-Trick In Day/Night Test
Scott Boland was on fire for Australia in the second innings of the day-night Test against the West Indies, which was played at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, from July 12 to 14. In the match that ended in less than three days, the 36-year-old fast bowler picked up a hat trick.
He opened his wicket account on Monday (Tuesday IST) by getting Justin Greaves out for 11 runs on the first ball of the 14th over of West Indies' second innings and then removed Shamar Joseph for a golden duck on the next ball. The star fast bowler was trapped in front of the wickets by Boland.
On the third ball of the 14th over, Boland then breached Jomel Warrican's defence and shattered his stumps to complete a rare Test hat-trick.

Dukes Owner Makes U-Turn, Says Balls To Be 'Reviewed' After Multiple Complaints
Last Updated: Dilip Jajodia, owner of British Cricket Balls Ltd, will review and change Dukes balls after complaints from Indian and English players during the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Dilip Jajodia, the owner of British Cricket Balls Ltd, who make the Dukes, has promised to 'review' their product and 'make changes' amid regular complaints from Indian and English players, pundits, and experts during the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will send as many used Dukes balls it can collect from the first three Tests to the company by the end of the week for the process to begin. The home board for a Test decides which maker of the ball will be used. Dukes is one of the oldest ball brands and has been used in England for decades. Until the last few years, it was renowned for its pronounced seam, dark maroon color and significant help for bowlers. However, in the ongoing series, apart from those characterstics going muted, the balls have been getting too soft to bowl within a few overs. 'We will take it away, inspect and then start talking to the tanner, talking about all of the raw materials – everything," Dilip Jajodia told BBC Sport. 'Everything we do will be reviewed and then if we think some changes need to be made or tightened up, we will." This is in contrast to his stance from only a few days ago when the complaints were piling up. For example, on July 12, in an interview with The Hindustan Times he had blamed the pitches, the hard new bats and even the English weather. 'The balls are being hit harder, further, and therefore impacting things like pillars and seats and so on," he said. 'All these have an impact on the ball. When you look at any ball objectively, it's a small round object and it's been battered all day. To expect that to be perfectly in shape all day is an impossibility. It can't be done, nobody can do it. Also, we are playing a lot of Test cricket in England on drier and harder pitches. In the good old days of English cricket where the pitches were green and moist, the gold would be on the ball after 50 overs, it would be beautifully protected. But those days are gone." view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Yuzvendra Chahal Rides Customised Royal Enfield Continental GT 650
India and Punjab Kings spinner Yuzvendra Chahal looked super excited as he rode the Royal Enfield Continental GT650. A favourite among young and budding motorcyclists, the Royal Enfield Continental GT650 has captured everyone's interest, with its great power engine, sound and overall strong presence. Now, Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal has joined the list of enthusiasts of the high-end motorcycle. In a YouTube video that grabbed attention, Chahal was seen riding a customised Royal Enfield Continental GT650 with the popular gamer, Soul Regaltos. Enjoying the thunderous note of the Royal Enfield Continental GT650, Chahal was left mesmerised by the latest Enfield edition. In a video shared with the YouTube community by 'SeewithDarshil', Chahal loved his time riding the Continental GT650. The video starts with Chahal and Parv Singh, who is famous as Soul Regaltos, coming downstairs as the gamer shares that he has arrived with the Royal Enfield Continental GT650 for the two of them to ride. An excited Chahal then goes to the parking lot and rides the Continental GT650. Notably, this Royal Enfield Continental GT650 belonged to another popular online gamer, Snax Gaming (Raj Verma). Singh was the first to turn on the motorcycle, as he gave it a light rev. Later on, Singh and Verma asked Chahal to join them and rev the motorcycle to hear its strong exhaust note. As Chahal started revving, he grew in admiration for the motorcycle that was fitted with aftermarket exhausts. Both Soul Regaltos and Chahal were extremely impressed with the exhaust notes of the bike. The two gamers were delighted to have the Indian cricketer on board and get him to enjoy the test ride of the motorcycle. They were especially thrilled when Chahal wore a look of amazement on his face, listening to the bike's thunderous note. For any Royal Enfield enthusiast, the first point of attraction and thrill is always the presence and the sound it generates. But the Royal Enfield Continental GT650 takes it to another level. For Chahal, it must have been a good day out with the bike, away from his playing duties. The cricketer was recently seen playing for Northamptonshire in the County Championship after finishing off his IPL 2025 stint with Punjab Kings. Chahal had returned to the English county club after a fruitful 2024 season, as he pursues his India comeback trail. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
