biggest hitters

[Gloucefan]

Craig Spearman at county level is a very big hitter.

Lance Klusener was a brutal hitter of the ball for mine. Adam Gilchrist is probably the sweetest hitter to the leg that I've seen.

Well it blocks out ####, and ####, and ####, and ###### ######.

Once I tried to put down ###### and it blocked that too.

I like how it edits nigh****chman.

 

[Langeveldt]

Yeah, and S****horpe.. But they should edit out the whole word to be honest

Sehwag is under rated when it comes to rating big hitters. Some of his sixes are MASSIVE.

Sehwag's not much of a big-hitter. Most of his sixes just brush the rope, though he too can hit the fence a few times. In fact, almost all of India's premier batsmen just hit the ropes without aiming too far. Anyway:

• Australia– All of them. It's just Gilchrist and Symonds who do it more often.
• England– Flintoff, Pietersen and maybe Trescothick and Giles.
• India– Dhoni, Irfan, JP Yadav, Bangar and even Yuvraj
• New Zealand– MAYBE Jacob Oram....now that Cairns has retired (or has he come back?)
• Pakistan– Shahid Afridi. None of the others can match that. Then again, maybe Razzaq and Akmal.
• South Africa– Kemp, Pollock and van der Wath.
• Sri Lanka– Jayasuriya, Vandort, Zoysa, Chandana
• West Indies– All of them.

Vandort

Say what?

Ashley Giles has five sixes in his Test career.

Steve Harmison has nine.

 

[UncleTheOne]

When Afridi or KP are set there isn't a ground big enough for either of them, and for comedy value, Devon Malcolm. Boy he could hit a cricket ball hard.

New Zealand– MAYBE Jacob Oram....now that Cairns has retired

Probably our biggest hitter yes, that one hit out of Jade Stadium in Christchurch was absolutely massive. Brendon McCullum can hit quite powerfully too though, especially for someone of his height.

Say what?

Thats what i was about to say..Vandort? the same guy who played like Ravi Shastri version 2.0, in the VB series game against Australia. He was on 8 after facing 43 deliveries.

George Bush was giving it an absolute hiding the other day.

 

[BlackCap_Fan]

Lance Cairns ain't exactly a weak hitter.

giving what a hiding exactly? iraqi civilians or thin air

 

[iamdavid]

I'd have to go for Pieterson, some of his shots during the last tour of South Africa and last English summer were amazing.

Plenty of players are capable of giving it a mighty thump...but in terms of having the confidence to go for it regularly and not being intimidated by the situation...aswell as the execution....dont think theres anyone better than Pieterson.

 

[Jono]

Timing of a big hit I'd definitely go Gilly, but for the sheer velocity or power behind the shot, I'd have to go for Afridi or Lance Klusener. Both hit the ball hard. Lance hit his 4s extremely hard as well, it was like he was aiming to not only get it to the boundary but smash the leather off the ball too.

Some big-hitters -

Australia - Gilchrist, Symonds, Hussey, Ponting(I still cant forget those huge 6s he hit off us in the World cup 2003 final), Brett Lee
Bangladesh - Mohammad Rafique(Only Bangladeshi who can make this list, however we will see a few more out here in the next 2-3 years)
England - Flintoff, Pietersen, Collingwood
India - Dhoni, Irfan Pathan, Sehwag, Yuvraj, Even Tendulkar and Ganguly in their prime were big-hitters.
New Zealand - Lou Vincent, Astle, Jacob Oram, McCullum
Pakistan - Afridi, Akmal, Razzaq and even Mohammad Yousuf can hit those big 6s if required
Sri Lanka - Jayasurya, Lokuhettige, Chandana
South Africa - Smith, Kemp, Pollock, vander Wath
West Indies - Gayle, Lara and even Chanderpaul can do it if required
Zimbabwe - Streak, Blignaut
From non-test playing nations - John Davison(Canada) and Edgar Schiferli(Holland) deserve a mention.

Whoever he wants. I thought that was the way it worked with Bush?

 

[Eclipse]

brett lee hits the biggest ones and imo the biggest six ever hit
