One More Record At ICC World Cup 2007

This ICC World Cup 2007 held at West Indies has been bringing world records frequently. We have seen six consecutive sixes by a batsman which is the first of its kind in the cricket history. Now we have another world record. It is about four wickets in four consecutive balls. The one who made record was Sri-Lanka’s seam bowler Lasith Malinga who took two wickets in the final two balls from one of his spells and took two other wickets in the first two balls of his second spell. This is more than a hat-trick. For your kind information in cricket three straight balls getting three wickets is a hat trick. It is a hat trick even when a bowler bowls out two batsmen out in his final two balls of his last spell and comes up with a wicket in his very first ball in another match. Interesting isn’t it? Lasith Malinga of Sri Lanka achieved this feat which no one has till date and he did it against South Africa. One interesting factor of this ICC World Cup, records made has involved South Africa on all occasions. The ICC World Cup 2007 is just half way through and we can expect a lot of records on the way.
