A friend and I were wondering if a bowler were to take two wickets in successive deliveries, bowl a wide and then take a third wicket, would this be classified as a hat-trick?
No, Saad, a hat-trick is only gained by taking three wickets with successive deliveries and a wide or no-ball would break such a sequence. Bowling for England against Pakistan at Edgbaston in 1978, Chris Old narrowly missed becoming the first bowler to take four wickets in four balls in a Test when he interrupted a potential sequence by over-stepping and being no-balled (WWnbWW).
