Hre try this for the end ...
"So, in 127 years, 1637 matches of test cricket have yielded only 30 hat-tricks, although others have come close. Englishman Ken Cranston took four wickets in a six-ball over (W.W.WW) to end South Africa's second innings at Headingley in 1947, while three bolwers (i.e., Pakistani Wasim Akram and Englishmen M.J.C. Allom and Chris Old) have each taken four wickets in five balls. Not quite as rare as hen's teeth then, test-cricket hat-tricks are an elusive and much sought-after commodity, and certainly underscore a bowler's place in history."
Then add the stuff about BBC cricket and Ask Bearders.

Also please consider adding a "however" somewhere, like say,
"Not quite as rare as hen's teeth then, test-cricket hat-tricks are HOWEVER an elusive and ..." blah.

I got the spelling thing. I missed the however thing though. I can go to the eds and ask it to go in if you want???

If DD will excuse the expression, I am but humble putty in your patently able hands. You decide, you're the sub-Ed.
But I would.

Looks good. You seem to have managed to make the table 'scan' better across the page. It used to be all squashed up.
Thanks, Ms. Cat.

I do like a happy customer... 
Though I dont know how the table manages to look better! As to footnotes - Im a tad addicted to them. So they wind up being added in if an article hasnt got any!

Bummer this didn't make the front page today ... just in time for Vaas' incredible hat-trick against the Bangladeshis.
