Albert Trott — Pavilion Six, Two Hat-tricks in an Innings, and a Sad End

Middlesex, Somerset

1907-05-22

Albert Trott is the only batsman to clear the Lord's pavilion (off Monty Noble, 31 July 1899) and one of only two men to take two hat-tricks in a single first-class innings — both in his benefit match v Somerset at Lord's on 22 May 1907. Penniless and ill, he killed himself on 30 July 1914, the day before the 15th anniversary of his Lord's six.

Albert Trott Hits a Six Over the Lord's Pavilion — 31 July 1899

MCC v Australians

1899-07-31

On 31 July 1899, in a tour match between MCC and the touring Australians at Lord's, Middlesex's Australian-born all-rounder Albert Trott — playing for MCC — hit Monty Noble for what is still the only six ever struck clean over the Lord's pavilion. The ball glanced a chimney stack and landed in pavilion attendant Philip Need's garden behind the building. The blow has not been matched in 125 years of cricket at Lord's.
