Moeen Ali : Hat Trick and Fastest ODI Century

Ali to Morkel, Moeen wins it with a hat-trick! It was smashing leg stump.

Ali to Rabada, and it's a repeat, edged to slip!, almost a carbon-copy

Ali to Elgar, edged to slip! Tossed into the footmarks, a little slower from Moeen

The first hat-trick at The Oval

........in the ground's 100th Test.......

which begs the Question after a hundred years/ games :

should the first ball of a new over

COUNT as a successive ball from the previous ? 

What was this Umpire thinking ?

than goodness for DRS : long ago this would not have been recorded

Umpire decision was FINAL  >

77.1
Ali to Morkel, Huge appeal for lbw and it's given not out but looks so close

Joel Wilson waited an age then said not out.

I never expected moeen ali to have hat trick. I mean I never considered him a player of that much worth. I don't know how come he gots hat trick. Must be bad play from the players. But yeah none the less. Its his day. And congrats to him for that achievement.

I think the Umpire has denied Bowlers a hat trick last 100 games.

Now with aid of technology, this injustice can be corrected !

Moeen could EASILY have been a VICTIM of Umpire Joel Wilson

Here's an excellent article:

excellent article, indeed !

Stars like Kanhai and Kallicharran, Lance Gibbs, Shiv , Barker and Wright,

all from straight out of  Guyana :

paved the way in the early 70s and beyond for Warwickshire success !

cannot believe that they are not using the local resources.

"Look at Warwickshire. This is a big city of Asian people, so why can’t you produce any south Asian players? I don’t understand. Either the coaching system is not great or they just don’t know how to tap into it or they’ve not tried.
The counties should take more responsibility.”.

Excellent article indeed and he is a remarkable player. Heartfelt congratulations for taking up the hatrick because I was not expecting them. Anyway his hard work has payed off.
