2. Peter Siddle
On his 26th birthday, 25th November 2010, the Australian pacer Peter Siddle achieved a special feat. He is the only bowler in international cricket history to take a hat-trick on the birthday. On the first day of the opening match of the 2010/11 Ashes Series at Brisbane, Siddle dismissed the opener Alastair Cook, and the lower middle-order batsmen Matt Prior and Stuart Broad in three consecutive deliveries. Siddle ended that innings with the bowling figures of 16-3-54-6. However, that match ended with a draw result.
