Who are the biggest hitters in the game?

[vic_orthdox]

Cutting would probably be the biggest in Aus, I think.

 

[Daemon]

judging from his t-shirt i'd say he must be taking some pretty big hits

 

[wellAlbidarned]

absolutely smoked it

 

[Cric123]

David Miller and Aaron Finch can be added to the list. I have seen Miller hit huge sixes in England. But out of all of them though, I think Gayle makes six hitting the easiest. In most of his innings above 50 he is going to have lot more sixes than fours.

Kallis though not very aggressive, particularly in the first half of his career, is actually a big hitter. He hit a mammoth six at Edgbaston in the 1999 World Cup in one of the group matches, and also here and there in ODIs and T20s in the last few years of his career.

 

[Furball]

Mitchell Johnson.

When he's having an on day with the bat he'll just casually hit cover drives into the crowd.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah Johnson hits it so sweetly when he's in the mood. Not sixes most of the time but the fours he drills through the offside are just insane.

 

[Red]

Gilchrist
Chris Cairns
Flintoff
Simon O'Donnell
Viv
KP

They're the guys I think of when I think big hitters

Mark Waugh worth a mention. Could hit real long when the opportunity afforded itself. Not his usual game, but from time to time he hit very big. Guess it's all to do with that sweet timing.

 

[Migara]

Thisara Perera hit a 127m one in Australia IIRC.

 

[Cric123]

Thisara Perera hit a 127m one in Australia IIRC.

What's IIRC? It won't surprise me because I've seen him hit some huge sixes, and that's what he is known for.

If I remember correctly.

Reckon he was hitting the spinner for a six almost every test late in his career. It's a shame T20 cricket didn't hit off early in his career. Would have massively improved his reputation as a player.
