Report all your hat-tricks by part-time bowlers here. Do they happen a lot? Any version of ICC. They don't have to be playing for you, or against you, just anywhere in your save. Screenshots of innings and over-by-over preferred but not required.
Starting this thread because I was playing as Essex in ICC09, season 09. Second game of the Pro League against Gloucestershire. For some reason, the AI seems to have selected Grant Hodnett as a bowler. He's only bowled in one one-dayer before in his life. He's never taken a wicket in one-day before, although he does have two in first-class - off 42 career overs, at an average over 100 and an economy rate pushing 5. He bowls offspin, and he's the only spinner in the Gloucestershire lineup.
Nevertheless, he's bowling here. He's had 7 overs and now it's the last over of the innings - and he's bowling it! Figures so far of 7-0-62-1 - not too good.
But last over goes:
1st ball: dot
2nd ball: Mark Hardinges on 29 off 24, caught by Franklin
3rd ball: new batsman Tim Phillips caught by Lewis
4th ball: new batsman Danish Kaneria lbw
5th ball: single
6th ball: dot
To finish 8-0-63-4
I'd say hat-tricks are a bit too common. As for hat-tricks to part-timers...no comment. I await your contributions.
