Kevan David James (born 18 March 1961,Lambeth,London) is an English former first-class cricketer who spent most of his career with Hampshire whom he won the NatWest Trophy and Benson &Hedges Cup with in the early 1990s. [1]
He was educated at the Edmonton County School, [2] in the London Borough of Enfield.
A middle-order batsman and left-arm seam bowler,he toured Australia and the West Indies with Young England before forging a successful career with Hampshire. He also played some first-class cricket for Wellington in New Zealand. James is perhaps best known for a game against the Indians in 1996 when he took a record equaling four wickets in four balls,and followed it up with a hundred later in the match. These Indian wickets included Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. The Cricinfo report from the match claimed that no-one,in the history of cricket,had taken four wickets in four balls and scored a hundred in the same game. [3] [4] The second player to have accomplished a 4-in-4 and a century was Kelly Smuts,for Eastern Province (EP) against Boland at Paarl in 2015–16. Smuts had a magical game,scoring the only individual century of the game (108) in the only EP innings of 442,and capturing 7 for 36 and 6 for 35.
His brother,Martin,played List A cricket for Hertfordshire.
Since at least 2003,Kevan has been reporting on Hampshire for BBC Radio Solent and is currently the lead Hampshire commentator for the BBC's ball-by-ball radio coverage of county cricket. He's also well known for his big deep booming voice. [5] [6]

Hit wicket is a method of dismissal in the sport of cricket. This method of dismissal is governed by Law 35 of the Laws of Cricket. The striker is out "hit wicket" if,after the bowler has entered his delivery stride and while the ball is in play,his wicket is put down by his bat or his person. The striker may do this whilst preparing to receive or receiving a delivery or in setting off for his first run after playing the delivery. In simple language,if the striking batsman knocks the bails off the stumps or uproots the stumps,while attempting to hit the ball or take off for a run,he is out hit wicket.

In cricket,a hat-trick occurs when a bowler takes three wickets with consecutive deliveries. The deliveries may be interrupted by an over bowled by another bowler from the other end of the pitch or the other team's innings,but must be three consecutive deliveries by the individual bowler in the same match. Only wickets attributed to the bowler count towards a hat-trick;run outs do not count,although they can contribute towards a so-called team hat-trick,which is ostensibly a normal hat-trick except that the three successive deliveries can be wickets from any bowler in the team and with any mode of dismissal.
