It would be impossible.

It is an achievement to cut a ball for six, let alone into the crowd.

The mere legistics of it defy all logical reasoning, most all balls are on their way down into the crowd, it would have to keep rising, which i cant see it doing with a late cut shot.

noo but i have seen him hiting big sixes with that late cut shot?

hey i just said his name cuz he plays that shot better than anyone else..
ummm no..


even on a straight hit or midwicket hit which can obviously be hit much further than the cut shot it would be impossible. I doubt any player could even hit it halfway out.

Even Brett Lee who is one of the biggest six hitters in the world only just got it out of the Gabba with a shot over mid wicket.

cut shot out of the mcg would be impossible.

It's possible if he manages to send it out the gate, up the stairs, across the walkway, and then out the entrance doors.

Alternatively, it could land in the beer of a drunk patron in the first row who heads off to the loo immediately, only to take a wrong turn and end up outside gate 3.
