 Trumble was the first player to take two hat @-@ tricks in Test cricket . Both hat @-@ tricks were taken against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground , where Trumble played his club cricket . Hat @-@ tricks are extremely rare ; in over 131 years of Test cricket to March 2008 , there had only been 37 Test hat @-@ tricks and only Jimmy Matthews and Wasim Akram been able to repeat Trumble 's feat of taking a second .
