cricket hat tricks are incredibly rare, in Test cricket, it happens on average once every couple years OVER THE COURSE OF THOUSANDS OF MATCHES, sometimes as many as 2000 matches can take place before a single hat trick is earned. It's slightly more common in the modern era of cricket because of the sheer number of games that are played and the often in international play, you'll have two teams of fairly large skill gap playing where one team has a significantly higher chance at a hat trick then normal, and the vast majority of hat tricks are earned when teams are very unevenly matched.

That's pretty crazy! I only know a little about cricket, but I had no idea how unique of a feat that really was! Thanks for sharing!

with the time you put into this video im surprised it’s not at 6 digits yet. well done, love the editing style.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Thanks! Yeah this is one of my favorites, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Allister2000]

Great video! You gotta cover the Red Wings and their octopus tradition!

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Thanks for checking it out! I'll put that on the list!

[@cherrycolareal]

Good to know that my favorite team allows you to retrieve your hat.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Yeah pretty interesting how the teams differ! Thanks for watching!

[@Elemanaphant]

Hey so I’m sitting here in my living room watching an NLL playoff game, I think it would be cool to see a history of the NLL (National Lacrosse League) or a How NLL teams got their names. Just a couple ideas. Thanks for your content.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Yeah that'd be cool! I'll put it on my future ideas list!

[@nick_knows_stuff]

One of the coolest things I've ever learned.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Thanks for checking it out!! 🙌

The hat trick in hockey originated in Toronto with a haberdasher named Sammy Taft. If a Toronto Maple Leaf scored three goals in a game he would lget a Hat from Sammy Taft.

I'm bringing back the turkey tradition! Were the turkeys given live or frozen?

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Haha let’s do it!! And that’s a great question! I assumed frozen, but there could have been just live turkeys bouncing around the bowling alleys! 🤣

Hi I've read the expression "Hat trick" comes from the Magicians trick pulling out 3 rabbits from the hat. I don't know if it's the real origin but makes sense to me. Greetings from Brazil

[@mikerexrode5307]

What if I wasn't wearing a hat and caught someone else's hat then kept it

[@JustinLearnsThings]

I guess they might get mad if they saw you... but my thoughts are if they're tossing their hat, its fair game! 😂
