Rhys Yorke takes two hat-tricks in two days in Brisbane second-grade competition HAT-TRICK TRICK: Souths bowler Rhys Yorke took hat-tricks in consecutive matches against Valleys and the Sunshine Coast. Picture: Stuart Quinn Source: The Courier-Mail JUST like the golfer who spends his life dreaming of hitting a hole-in-one, most cricket bowlers never fulfil their fantasy of taking a hat-trick. But to achieve the rare feat twice in two days is just about unheard of. Brisbane recruitment consultant and Souths second-grade paceman Rhys Yorke is living the dream after a remarkable weekend when he took three wickets in three balls on Saturday, before repeating the dose on Sunday. Left-armer Yorke, 25, scaled cricket's version of Mount Everest against Valleys and returned to the summit once more against the Sunshine Coast. "On the first day, I just hit three blokes on the pads in a row and they were all given out lbw," Yorke said. The good thing was I thought they were all absolutely plumb. Yorke called his dad Peter to tell him about the hat-trick, but celebrations were put on hold because Souths had a one-day semi-final the next day. And jaws dropped when history repeated. (My third wicket) was probably the best ball I have ever bowled. It swung in late and hit the batsman on the pads. To show how rare the achievement is, only three players have taken two hat-tricks in the 2072 Tests dating back to 1877.
