A CRICKET star pulled off a stunning sextuple-wicket maiden to hand his team victory in a miraculous achievement.<\/p>\n
Australian cricket team Mudgeeraba Nerang and Districts third grade needed something special to win their match against Surfers Paradise CC on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Surfers Paradise needed just five runs to win from the final over as they chased down a target of 178 that the hosts set.<\/p>\n
To make things more difficult for Mudgeeraba Nerang, the batting side still had six wickets in hand.<\/p>\n
However, captain Gareth Morgan took the ball for the last over and completely flipped the script as he skittled the batters.<\/p>\n
With his first ball, he took the wicket of the opening batter, Jake Garland, who was caught at deep mid-wicket.<\/p>\n
Connor Matheson\u00a0then fell in the next ball as he was caught by Orey Finn at mid-on for a golden duck.<\/p>\n Morgan – who had already top scored for his team with a rapid 39 – then completed his hat-trick as Michael Curtin was then caught on his first ball.<\/p>\n Surfers Paradise still had three balls to get five runs, but Morgan's brilliance continued.<\/p>\n He made it four wickets in four balls as Wade McDougall was caught off his bowling by Armaan Sidhu at point.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Morgan then finished the match by bowling both of the last batters, Riley Eckersley and Brodie Phelan, sparking celebrations for the home side.<\/p>\n Following his heroics, Morgan revealed that the umpire was left in shock after witnessing the bowler's once-in-a-lifetime feat.<\/p>\n He told the\u00a0Gold Coast Bulletin: \u201cIt is funny, the umpire said to me at the start of the over that I needed to take a hat-trick or something to win the game.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen it happened he just sort of looked at me.\u201d<\/p>\n Morgan's achievement has since gone viral on social media, leaving many fans in disbelief.<\/p>\n One fan hailed: "Morgan should never have to pay for another beer at the club."<\/p>\n A second commented: "That\u2019s an impressive last over."<\/p>\n A third posted: "Did wonders for G Morgan's bowling figures."<\/p>\n A fourth wrote: "Morgan cleaned em up."<\/p>\n A fifth said: "I hope G Morgan did not buy a drink all night."<\/p>\n A sixth added: "Build the man a statue."<\/p>\n Another joked: "I can only imagine the panic of 9-11 all sitting in their shorts and things and having to pad up."<\/p>\n Morgan ended the game with figures of 7\/16, having already taken a wicket earlier in his six overs.<\/p>\n<\/picture>HOT WHEELS <\/span><\/p>\n
