could a player hit a six out of the mcg with a late cut

[ChipSomeSixes]

i personally think gilchrist can do it. what do you reckon?

 

[Eclipse]

no lol.

you cant hit a ball out of the MCG period let alone with a late cut.

 

[Burgey]

Happens every second game tbh. No real achievement.

 

[Flem274*]

Astle was a good cutter so maybe him.

 

[skipper]

Sehwag off Brett Lee.

I will post pictures of my penis on CW if a player ever hits a six out of the MCG.

You'd do that for 6 Fly But points.

Not a chance.

By "late cut", I'm guessing that you mean helping a ball on its way over the keeper's head type of shot.

How long is the boundary straight of the wicket at the 'G'?

 

[Prince EWS]

Chris Williamson could do it on his ear.

It's more the 15 storey high stands that completely encircle the ground...

 

[Perm]

Would be one of the biggest shots ever played if it happened.

So we're talking "out" of the MCG. Never happens does it?

 

[Smudge]

After having a tour of the place last month, I never realised just how high those stands reached. We went the day after the Melbourne Cup and my hangover-induced nausea turned into vertigo when I went right to the top of the northern stand. My mates were taking the piss out of me as I walked down holding the steel bannister - apparently if I was leaning any further back, I could have done a limbo.

But, to cut a dull anecdote short, there's no way it could happen nowadays at least.

If it has to be done - with a late cut that is - it doesn't need the brute force of a Gilchrist. It will need the speed and bounce of a really fast bowler and the perfect timing of a master batsman to tip it over.

Mind you if it is a late cut that is. A slash or a snick is a different matter.

not one of it would be by far the biggest played ever
