Explanation

A Test hat-trick with each ball in a different over means three consecutive wickets spanning three different overs. Damien Fleming achieved this unique feat against Pakistan in 2000: last ball of his 19th over, last ball of his 20th over, and first ball of his 22nd over (he was taken off after the 20th, then brought back). Merv Hughes' famous 1994 hat-trick spanned only two overs (last ball of one over, first two of next), not three different overs.
