Unbelievable Feat: 12-Yr-Old Takes Double Hat-Trick, Scalps 8 Wickets Across 2 Overs

Worcestershire: 12-year-old junior cricket player Oliver Whitehouse achieved a feat rarely seen in the sport – a ‘double hat-trick.’ Representing Bromsgrove Cricket Club in a match against Cookhill, Whitehouse astounded spectators by dismissing six opposition batsmen in consecutive deliveries, spanning two overs. What made his accomplishment even more extraordinary was the fact that he accomplished this feat without conceding a single run across two overs and took eight wickets.

Jayden Levitt, the captain of Bromsgrove Cricket Club’s first team, expressed his disbelief at the significance of Whitehouse’s achievement, describing it as “absolutely amazing” and “mind-blowing.” Levitt believes that the young player may not fully comprehend the magnitude of his accomplishment until he is older. Whitehouse himself described the experience as unbelievable.

News of Whitehouse’s exceptional performance quickly spread across social media platforms, turning him into a viral sensation. A Twitter post highlighting his heroics garnered an impressive 45,000 views, further amplifying his newfound fame. Interestingly, Whitehouse’s athletic abilities may be attributed to his maternal grandmother, Ann Jones, who happens to be the 1969 Wimbledon tennis champion.

The remarkable double hat-trick achieved by Oliver Whitehouse during his cricket match has captivated fans and cricket enthusiasts alike. His exceptional skills and achievement at such a young age highlight his immense potential and promise in the sport.
