Magoo qualifies on match figures.

But not on innings figures.

No. Trumble's victims were Arthur Jones, John Gunn and Sydney Barnes at Melbourne in 1901-02, and Bernard Bosanquet, Plum Warner and Dick Lilley at Melbourne (2) in 1903-04.

Howststat would appear to disagree with you.

Bong, you're wrong, Q.

1st Hattrick:

2nd Test MCG 1901-02

AO Jones-------c Darling b Trumble-----6
JR Gunn----------c Jones b Trumble-----2
SF Barnes--------------c & b Trumble----0


2nd Hattrick:

5th Test MCG 1903-04

PF Warner (c)-----------c & b Trumble--11
BJT Bosanquet---c Gehrs b Trumble---4
AFA Lilley †--------------lbw b Trumble---0

so whos right you or charlie

It is an understandable mistake. Qmy is correct that Howstat show the 2nd test of that series as being the one in which Trumble took the hat-trick. However, Howstat has got it wrong. There were 2 Melbourne tests in that series & Trumble had great success in both but the hat-trick was in the 5th test.

Cricinfo stats

Newspapers of the time show Trumble taking the hat-trick in the 5th test.

Pretty sloppy, I would've thought. I have contacted Howstat twice over the years to correct errors in their stats. So this is another example.

Anywho, we currently stand at:

I meant that it was understandable that Qmy would accept their stats as being correct.

Oh, OK.

I checked Cricinfo and Wiki, as my confidence in Howstat is not optimal.

Having said that, Howstat have been grateful for corrections, citing the voluntary nature of their web site in compilation, upkeep and maintenance as a reason for the odd error.
