HOWZAT for a hat-trick!

Forget Jos Buttler — Chris Newell was the real toast of Trent Bridge yesterday.

The Yorkshireman, 50, was set the task of hitting three stumps, then two stumps and then a single stump in three successive deliveries to win £50,000.

    I think the odds of doing it covers the cost of a bumper pay out - the organisers insure against it happening so it doesn't cost the £50k. You get it with the unlikely basketball shots in the states. I've seen something similar at a match once where a fan had to score from different positions. Could be quite good half time entertainment.
