Like father, like son: Warne's son snares a hat-trick

Shane Warne's son, Jackson, has shown he is a chip off the old block, snaring a hat-trick in a schoolboy game - 21 years after the legspin great claimed a hat-trick against England.

The 14-year-old was playing for his school Brighton Grammar with his father in attendance when he took the hat-trick.

The teenager went on to snare four wickets in five balls, finishing the day with 5/4.

A proud Warne tweeted about the feat to his almost two million Twitter followers.

"Jackson did it!!!! Hatrick. what a classic, now has 4 wickets in five ball," Warne tweeted.
