According to Media Sources, England pacer Gus Atkinson continued his fine run in Test cricket, registering a hat-trick during the second Test against New Zealand at Wellington on Saturday. Atkinson accomplished this feat against the Kiwis at Wellington, removing Nathan Smith, Matt Henry and Tim Southee in successive deliveries in the 35th over to get them bundled out for just 125 runs. He took the first hat-trick by an England player since Moeen Ali against South Africa back in 2017 and also became the first England pacer to register this milestone since Stuart Broad did it against Sri Lanka at Leeds in 2014. Overall, the 26-year-old is the 14th England bowler with a Test hat-trick to his name, as per Wisden. It is also the 15th hat-trick by an England bowler in Test cricket and overall 47th instance of a hat-trick in men’s Test cricket.
As Per Media Sources, Since his debut against West Indies at the start of the Test summer in July this year, Atkinson has enjoyed a dream run in longer format. In his debut Test, he was able to get a five-wicket haul in both innings, ending with figures of 7/45 and 5/61. This also helped him complete a 12-wicket haul at perhaps the most iconic venue in the sport, the Lord’s, known as the ‘Home of Cricket’. Against Sri Lanka at Lord’s in August, Atkinson also showcased his batting abilities, smashing a quickfire 118 in 115 balls, with 14 fours and four sixes. All these aforementioned efforts came in winning efforts at Lord’s, marking a dream start to his career. In 10 Tests so far, Atkinson has taken 47 wickets at an average of 21.31, with best figures of 7/45. He has three fifers and a ten-wicket haul to his name. Also, he has made 305 runs at an average of 23.46 and a strike rate of 77.21, with a century in 18 innings.
