The term 'double hat trick' is a misnomer.
Here's why.
A batsman takes his personal score to 100 - a century. He then takes a single.
0-100 = a century. 1-101 = a double century ? Nope.

"The defending BBL champions have been forced to add their assistant coach to their squad for tonight's 'Challenger' final
Sydney Sixers star Josh Philippe has been ruled out of tonight's Challenger final at the SCG after testing positive to COVID-19.
The Sixers confirmed Philippe, who is the tournament's seventh-highest run scorer with 429 runs for the season, had returned a positive COVID test result this morning and will miss the clash against the Strikers (7:25pm AEDT) and also Friday's final - should they advance.
It's a huge blow for the Sixers' chances of a historic three-peat as he's the third member of their squad to be diagnosed with the virus in the past week after fellow opener Jack Edwards and his brother Mickey were ruled out of the game against the Perth Scorchers last Saturday.
Wicketkeeper-batter Jay Lenton, who has been travelling and working as an assistant coach with the Sixers since the start of the month, has been added to their squad to replace Philippe."

...
But at least no one has ever taken 6 wickets in 6 balls...
Wasim Akram once took 4 wickets in 5 balls. The non-wicket ball was a dropped catch.
(Remember when Warnie dropped the hat-trick ball nick off Fleming's bowling?!

Dunno why some media say it's not allowed on a "technicality". Huh??
Strikers have Carey and Head... That's 'cos they were on the Strikers' list. They had to carry on when those fellas were unavailable and still fit them in their salary cap.
Scorchers have Jhye, Inglis and M. Marsh. That's cos they were on the Scorchers' list. They had to carry on when those fellas were unavailable and still fit them in their salary cap.
It's simple. It's not a "technicality"...
More whingeing... Whingeing article from M. Conn. Must be 'cos he's from Sydney. Unhinged!! FTB is not on the Sixers' list. It's irrelevant who he played for 10 years ago or 1 year ago...
At least S'OK recognised this... SO'K said they could let Cummins play for Thunder and Green for Scorchers.... That won't work... 'cos we don't even know the other Oz players want to play BBL. Just to make FTB and Sixers happy, you'd have to persuade the others to play...
Who'd they persuade to play for Strikers??? (It'd need to be someone the Strikers would actually play... Starc??? )Madness...
