Gareth Morgan takes 6 wickets in 6 balls : In a stunning display of bowling prowess, Australian club cricketer Gareth Morgan etched his name into cricket history by taking six wickets in six balls to secure an improbable victory for his team, Mudgeeraba, in the Gold Coast’s Premier League Division 3.
Trailing Surfers Paradise by 179 runs, Mudgeeraba faced an uphill climb in their chase for victory. With the final over approaching, Surfers Paradise needed just five runs to win with six wickets in hand. However, Morgan had other plans.
Taking charge of the bowling duties for the final over, Morgan unleashed a barrage of unplayable deliveries that left the Surfers Paradise batsmen bewildered. He started by dismissing opener Jake Garland for 65, leaving Surfers Paradise needing four runs from five balls.
Undeterred, Morgan continued his onslaught, claiming the wickets of the next five batsmen in succession, all without scoring a run. These dismissals, known as golden ducks, are incredibly rare in cricket, and to achieve six in a row is an almost unheard-of feat.

Imagine the chaos in the sheds!
