List of Test cricket hat-tricks
En spiller har kun én gang lavet to hattricks i den samme testkamp. Jimmy Matthews, der spillede for Australien mod Sydafrika i den første kamp i 1912 Triangular Tournament på Old Trafford i Manchester, England, tog et hattrick i Sydafrikas første og anden inning, begge den 28. maj 1912. Han fuldendte begge hattricks ved at udslå Sydafrikas Tommy Ward. Kun tre andre cricketspillere har taget mere end ét test-hattrick: Den australske off spinner Hugh Trumble (med to års mellemrum, mellem de samme hold på den samme bane), den pakistanske fast bowler Wasim Akram (med lidt over en uges mellemrum, i på hinanden følgende kampe mellem de samme hold) og den engelske fast bowler Stuart Broad. Tre spillere har taget et hattrick i deres testdebut: Den engelske medium pace bowler Maurice Allom i 1930, den newzealandske off-spinner Peter Petherick i 1976 og den australske pace bowler Damien Fleming i 1994. Geoff Griffin tog færrest testwickets i alt af alle spillere, der har lavet et hattrick, idet han kun tog otte wickets i hele sin testkarriere. I løbet af den kamp, hvor han tog sit hattrick, blev Griffin gentagne gange kaldt for at kaste af dommerne og bowlede aldrig mere i en testkamp. Australske Peter Siddle er den eneste bowler, der har lavet et hattrick på sin fødselsdag, og den bangladeshiske off spinner Sohag Gazi er den eneste spiller, der har scoret et århundrede og lavet et hattrick i samme testkamp.

List of Test cricket hat-tricks
A player has taken two hat-tricks in the same Test match only once. Playing for Australia against South Africa in the first match of the 1912 Triangular Tournament at Old Trafford, Manchester, England, leg spinner Jimmy Matthews took a hat-trick in South Africa's first and second innings, both taken on 28 May 1912. He completed both hat-tricks by dismissing South Africa's Tommy Ward. Only three other cricketers have taken more than one Test hat-trick: Australian off spinner Hugh Trumble (two years apart, between the same teams at the same ground), Pakistani fast bowler Wasim Akram (just over a week apart, in consecutive matches between the same teams) and English fast bowler Stuart Broad. Three players have taken a hat-trick on their Test debut: English medium pace bowler Maurice Allom in 1930, New Zealand off-spinner Peter Petherick in 1976, and Australian pace bowler Damien Fleming in 1994. Geoff Griffin took the fewest total Test wickets of any player who recorded a hat-trick, taking only eight wickets in his entire Test career. During the match in which he took his hat-trick, Griffin was repeatedly called for throwing by the umpires and never bowled again in a Test match. Australian Peter Siddle is the only bowler to take a hat-trick on his birthday, and Bangladeshi off spinner Sohag Gazi is the only player to score a century and take a hat-trick in the same Test match.
