Q 13 Were both of them players in the match in question ? Yes.

Q 14 Was the main record achieved before 1950? Yes.

Is the main record to do with wickets in a game(match or innings)?
Q 15 Yes. (in a sense it has to do with number of wickets ;)

Hint 2 -

Please Re-consider the answers bearing in mind this question relates to 2 players. The player at the Centre of this question is not the record breaker !! He was only part of this unique record !! Some of the answers may not apply to the record breaker with regard to Nationality . :p

Is it about a batsman getting out to a bowler while the bowler is creating a bowling record ?

Q 18 Yes.

Is the bowler Syd Barnes ?
Q 19 No.

Since only the last question is left I will give one final hint !

The person at the Centre of this question is a South African !(As you may have worked out !) The record holder is Australian . So what's the record ? Why is it unique ?

TA Ward of South Africa being one of the batsmen in each of Australia's TJ Mathews two hat tricks in the same test match in 1912.

Correct. But what's its uniqueness ? There's more to it than that !!

Those 6 wickets in the two hat tricks were all the wickets Mathews got.
It was all on the same day.

That's the one !!!

2 Hat Tricks in the same day !! Now you can't beat that !!!

And poor old Ward was dismissed for a 'King Pair' :laugh: :laugh: being the third victim in both hat-tricks !!

(ie first ball duck twice as part of 2 hat tricks to the same bowler in the same day !!! Cant beat that !!!)
