A bowler once took two hat-tricks in the same Test match — one in each innings.
In 1912 at Old Trafford, Australia's Jimmy Matthews took a hat-trick in each of South Africa's two innings of the same Test match — three wickets in three balls, twice in one game. No other bowler has ever done it in Test cricket.
A single hat-trick is a career highlight for most bowlers. Matthews did two in one match, one in each innings.
