Shane Warne’s son Jackson takes a hat-trick for Brighton Grammar

ENGLISH batsmen you’ve been warned. There’s a new Warne in town. Jackson has followed in his father’s footsteps taking a hat-trick playing for his school.

Shane Warne's son, Jackson took a hat trick today playing for Brighton Grammar.

STAND aside Shane there is another hat-trick hero in the Warne family.

The Spin King was bowled over after watching his son Jackson capture four wickets in five balls — including a hat-trick.

The proud-as-punch father live tweeted his son’s feat for the year-10 Brighton Grammar School cricket side to his millions of followers on social media.

“My son Jackson is on a Hatrick !!!!!.” Warne tweeted.

Warne watched on the sideline of the Brighton Grammar School oval as Jackson claimed wickets with the last two balls of his first over, a catch then a stumping.

He completed the spectacular hat-trick with the first ball of his next over when the batsmen was caught behind.

Warne told the Herald Sun he was a “proud dad” and his son’s efforts were “awesome and fantastic.”

“He’s a very chilled guy and quite shy too,” Warne said.

The son-of-a-gun has only just started playing for the school team this season and unsurprisingly — given his genes — the sport has come somewhat naturally to him.

He has also played soccer for the school and has a growing reputation as a dead-eyed striker — once scoring seven goals in one game.

A friend at the school said Jackson had shied away from cricket in the earlier year levels.

“But he is now enjoying getting out there and playing with his mates.”

While Jackson kept his cool, his bowling had cricket fans in a spin reminiscing about Warne Snr’s fabled hat-trick in the second Ashes test at the MCG in 1994.

But those hoping to see another young leggie burst onto the Australian scene in a few years may be disappointed — Warne Jnr is purely a seam man.
