HAT TRICKS
GERRY COGGER
On 12 Aug 63 took two hat tricks in an innings against Martin Crossley’s XI at Heritage, Berkshire. In an analysis of 14 – 8 – 19 – 7 he had two spells. In his first 8 overs, 5 of which were consecutive maidens, Gerry conceded 12 runs for 0 wickets. In the second spell he took 7 wickets in 3 overs for 1 run, including two hat tricks. Five batsmen were clean bowled; one lbw and one caught – all this in a space of 23 minutes. This was the first match of the Ramblers 1963 Midlands tour.
Ramblers 204, Crossley’s XI 104
DENIS MACKLEY
On 1st May 1949 took a hat trick against Stedham, bowling three batsmen in his 6th over, finishing with 3-18 in 9 overs. Mike O’Sullivan also claimed 3 wickets in one over in the same innings
Ramblers 109-9, Stedham 108
GEORGE PORTER and MIKE O’SULLIVAN
On 28th May 1950 both took a hat trick against Reigate Pilgrims. Porter took the first 3 wickets in his 7th over, and O’Sullivan had a caught behind off the last ball of his 13th over and then two wickets with the first two balls of his 14th
Ramblers 74, Reigate Pilgrims 84
CHRIS TERRY
On 30th May 1966 v Liphook; 2nd, 3rd & 4th balls of over. The fact of the hat trick is not recognised in the scorebook or in any other source, but seems clear from the bowling analysis.
Ramblers 206-5d, Liphook 64
BRIAN DAVENPORT
On 13th August 1991, a hat trick against Middleton, with the 5th and 6th balls of one over, and the first ball of the next – all caught.
JAMES BRISTOW

TEN WICKETS IN AN INNINGS; CHRISTOPHER TERRY RECALLED :
On a summer’s day many years ago, I was sitting on a bench in front of the pavilion steps at Brook. Someone on the verandah said “Chris”. I looked round. It was Big Mike (FT Gauntlett), a 22 stone living legend, “Catch” he said and dropped a cricket ball. Either out of self preservation or because I spotted a glint of silver, I caught it. I still have that ball and the ‘glint of silver’ records the taking of ten wickets in a single innings, at Brook, a few weeks earlier.
The Ramblers had many strong opponents against whom I would have been delighted to take ten wickets. I was always rather sorry that the only time I performed the feat, in my entire career, was against a side whose very name implied that they were fast asleep – they were called the Zombies.
Furthermore, my recollections of the actual events giving rise to Big Mike’s gesture of kindness are extremely hazy. For example, I only remember one of my ten team mates that day…. and only then for entirely the wrong reasons. He was called Mike Bacon, a jovial ‘help yourself and pay later’ off break bowler. Mike had impressed me by scoring 50 in his first match for the Ramblers and, in so doing, had broken a brick in the wall above the window of our subterranean changing rooms. However, on the particular day in question, Mike Bacon hadn’t distinguished himself at all, either with bat or ball, as he subsequently explained at length in the pub, ‘I deliberately bowled badly to give Chris a chance to get ten wickets’ he protested. He may well have been telling the truth. The difference between Mike just bowling and Mike deliberately bowling badly, were indistinguishable to the inexperienced eye. It was equally impossible to identify, with any accuracy, the precise moment when he took it upon himself, either owing to the state of play or a fit of altruism, to stop just bowling and to start bowling badly.
I do remember that I was bowling down the hill (but I nearly always did). Unusually for Brook, the wind would have been in the East and, very usually for Brook, the ground would have been slightly damp. In such conditions, an in-swing bowler is almost unplayable on that ground.
Loftily conducting operations from mid off, Big Mike, who had an excellent cricketing brain, would have scented blood and moved in for the kill. In those days, that entailed putting half the team at short leg. If that particular half included Lionel Wood, the ball would stick to his enormous hands like a fly to paint. He and his brother Tony caught six, in similar conditions, at the Bank of England ground, off my bowling, on another occasion,
If Gordon Smith were added to the equation, the batsmen were in a truly perilous position. Joining the Ramblers, from Merrow, aged over 50, Gordon had the reflexes of a steel spring. He maintained his alertness by throwing half a tennis ball against a wall and catching its unpredictable return for an hour or so every day. If Gordon really trusted his bowlers, he’d stand up to them, regardless of pace, and if the batsman was out of his ground, for so much of a fraction of a second, Gordon and the fortunate bowler had another scalp. Gordon was so quick that Merrow thought he cheated. I never saw him cheat.
Cover point might have been David Childs, who ran like a panther and had a throw like a dart, straight in over the top of the stumps. He was far and away the best Ramblers cover field ever.. It was an imprudent batsman who took a run to David, whose motto was definitely ‘there’s never a run to cover’.
Gerry Cogger the old Sussex pro and coach at King Edward’s School cannot have been playing in that particular match (he wasn’t Ed). If he were, he would have got 60% of the wickets. That was about his quota per match. If I were lucky, I’d get the other 40% or have to share the other 40% with the likes of Mike Bacon, if he weren’t ‘deliberately bowling badly’
I never played against the Zombies again as far as I can recall, but about fifteen years later, one of their number, guesting for another side, also at Brook, recognized me. It seemed that I had found a place in Zombie mythology because, as soon as my identity was revealed by the ex Zombie to his new playmates, that perfectly respectable side immediately started batting like mesmerised rabbits. That’s what’s fun about cricket. It’s all in the mind.
