Battle of the shots

The flicks for 6 by Gilchrist, Saeed and Ijaz reminded me of this shot (26:15) by John Emburey in 1987 (footage not very clear but you can see why Benaud calls the shot a "short-arm jab"). Still not sure how that went as far as it did.

I know it's been posted here before, but this straight drive from Sobers off Lillee (at 13:30) is worth a re-post, since Bradman describes it (in the video) as the best shot in the best innings ever played in Australia.
