Randell had a short spell at Somerset in 2024
New Zealander Brett Randell has become the first bowler in the 254-year history of first-class cricket to take five wickets in five balls.
The 30-year-old created the piece of cricket history playing for Central Stags on day two of their match against Northern Districts in New Zealand's Plunket Shield.
"I'm pretty blown away," said Randell. "The high was pretty crazy, it was like a pinch-me moment.
"I was trying to stay level-headed and keep putting the ball in the same area and then after the actual hat-trick [three wickets in three deliveries], just the same things - trying to put the ball in the same area."
