6 Wickets In 6 Balls: 12-Year-Old Takes 'Double Hat-Trick' In One Over In Club Cricket Fixture

12-year-old Oliver Whitehouse scalped 8 wickets without conceding a single run, including a 'double hat-trick.'

In an extraordinary bit of achievement, a 12-year-old boy dismissed 6 batters in six successive deliveries of an over to complete a 'double hat-trick'. While scalping a single hat-trick in a over in itself is considered to a spectacular achievement, Oliver Whitehouse upped that big time to take two in one over. His feat came while playing for Bromsgrove Cricket Club against Cookhill on June 9. He finished his spell by removing 8 batters across his 2 overs without conceding a single run off his bowling.

"I couldn't believe the significance of what he had achieved," Jayden Levitt, who leads the first team of Oliver's club told the BBC.

"It's absolutely amazing to get a double hat-trick in one over is absolutely mind-blowing, it's an amazing effort and I think he probably won't realise the significance until he's a lot older," he added.


Whitehouse himself said that he was unable to process what had just happened moments after he scalped the sixth wicket off the final ball of his over. Interistingly, all of his six dismissals to complete a 'double hat-trick' were bowled. Being considered as someone who could go on to do well for his club and probably County as well as the national team in the years to come, Whitehouse happens to be a left-arm spinner. 

It shouldn't come as a surprise though that the boy achieved sporting success, albeit at a junior level currentlty, given he comes from a sporting family with his maternal grandmother being Ann Jones, the Wimbledon Champion of 1969.
