Shane Bond Hatrick vs Australia on 14/01/2007

Bond had White caught in the deep, Symonds edged behind next ball attempting a huge drive and he finished the collection with a ripper that took the top of Nathan Bracken’s off stump. It was his first hat-trick and ensured a fine finish for Bond

New Zealand’s batsmen were unable to follow up on Shane Bond’s hat-trick and fell 105 runs short of Australia’s 289 despite Ross Taylor’s fighting 84. The visitors lost their final seven wickets for 23 in a disappointing finish after Bond made a memorable impact to close the first innings.

Andrew Symonds and Cameron White launched a late onslaught of 90 in nine overs before Bond ended the partnership in the 50th over when White was caught in the deep and Symonds edged behind next ball attempting a huge drive. Bond, who became the second New Zealander to take a one-day international hat-trick and collected 4 for 61, finished the job with a ripper that took the top of Nathan Bracken’s off stump, but his team-mates failed to carry the momentum into their batting.
