Daily Trivia #313



What unique achievement do these cricketers share?

Ans-Wicketkeepers who have taken a hat-trick in first class cricket, Alan Smith for Warwickshire v Essex at Clacton in 1965 and Probir Sen for Bengal v Orissa at Cuttack in 1954-55.

P.S- Smith was a most unusual player in that he was primarily a wicket-keeper, but was sometimes selected as a frontline bowler... :P
