There are many records on the cricket field, which are talked about to be broken, but one of them is such that it is not only difficult but impossible to break. Rather, it cannot even be thought of. One such unique record is a hat-trick in both innings of a Test match. This record was made by Australia's leg-spinner Jimmy Matthews . This record of Jimmy remains intact for 109 years.

Jimmy Matthews, the only bowler to take hat-trick wickets in both the innings, did this in the 1912 Test match against South Africa. Actually Mathews was selected for the tour of England. The Australian team was to go to England to play a tri-test series. In the same Tri-Test series against South Africa in the Test match in Manchester, Mathews did what no one can imagine today. The 6 wickets that Mathews took in this test match, he has not been able to get with the help of any fielder but with his own effort. He himself took 2 bowled, 2 LBW and 2 catches in these 6 wickets. He dismissed South Africa's R Beaumont, SJ Pegler, TA Ward in the first innings, while in the second innings, he did this charisma by dismissing HW Taylor, RO Schwartz, TA Ward. 

Career of Jimmy Mathews

Mathews, who took hat-trick wickets in both innings of a Test match, did not have a long career. He played only 8 Test matches in his career and managed to take 16 wickets during this period. For Australia, he played his first Test match against England in Adelaide in 1912, while the last Test match was played against Australia at The Oval in 1912. Jimmy Matthews died in the year 1943. But in the history of cricket, this record of his remains as an immortal record till date.
