Question

Why is hat-trick called so?

Answer 1

A magician usually pulls some things out of a hat. And the bowler is compare to him. As though he pulls of "magic" of 3 wickets.

The story is that sometime in the 19th century, a bowler for an English team took three wickets with consecutive balls - a rare and remarkable "trick" - and was awarded a new hat by the team in honour of the accomplishment.

Answer 2

because in the 1800s gentlemen taking 3 wickets in 3 balls would be given a new top hat, hence the term "hat-trick" was coined because a hat was the prize for taking one

Answer 3

A hat-trick in sports is associated with succeeding at anything three times in three consecutive attempts.

A hat-trick occurs in cricket when a bowler dismisses three batsmen with consecutive deliveries. The deliveries may be interrupted by an over bowled by another bowler from the other end of the pitch or the other team's innings, but must be three consecutive deliveries by the individual bowler. Only wickets attributed to the bowler count; i.e., run outs do not contribute to a hat-trick.

Hat-tricks are very rare and as such are treasured by bowlers. The term was first used to describe HH Stephenson's feat in 1858 and was used in print for the first time in 1878. In Test cricket history there have been just 37 hat-tricks, the first achieved by Fred Spofforth for Australia against England in 1879, and the most recent by Ryan Sidebottom for England against New Zealand in 2008.
