A medium-paced swing bowler, Mulcock became the third bowler to take a hat-trick in the Plunket Shield when he took 8 for 61 for Canterbury in Otago's second innings in December 1937.[2][3] In the next match, which followed a few days later, he took 6 for 53 in Wellington's first innings. Nevertheless, Canterbury lost both matches.[4]
