General Cricket discussion

There has only been one recorded hat-trick of stumpings in first-class cricket, by Gloucestershire's Welsh-born keeper William Brain against Somerset in Cheltenham in 1893: his three victims all came off the bowling of the future England legspinner Charles Townsend. Although the hat-trick did end Somerset's second innings, it didn't end the match - Gloucestershire were left 302 to win and, despite the presence of WG Grace and his brother EM, were bowled out for 174 to lose comfortably.
