I was quite impressed with just how hard Roger Telemarketingscamus hit the ball for South Africa today.

My friend told me Johann vanderwath (think thats his name) of South Africa can hit HUGE sixes.
Yep. He hit some against Australia in the VB series, including a great pull shot over square leg that went half way up the stands.

Oi, Gray!! He may be a flop at international level, but in county cricket he's murdered pretty much every attack in the country at one time or another. I don't mind people claiming Blackie's a rubbish bowler, or that he's not a Test player, both of which are true, but to claim that he's not a big hitter is just wrong. :p

Or are we just talking about on-the-field hitting?
:laugh: :laugh:

Don't mess with him. He's not a very patient man. Look at his batting.

Also, I think Chris Cairns once said the person who could hit the ball the furthest in the NZ team was Chris Harris. He could hit it for sure, he ruptured Cairns' spleen. I also remember one of the sixes in his 130 vs Australia being ENORMOUS. It was after he'd got his hundred and was too buggered to run.

Love how the language filter doesn't pick up bugger.

Bugger bugger bugger.

Tyrone Henderson plays domestic cricket in SA and is one of the biggest hitters I know that hasn't been mentioned

Why the bugger in hell should it? Bugger's hardly a naughty hardly.

U19 12th Man
Gilchrist, Symonds, Flintoff, KP, Afridi, Razzaq, Dhoni, Pathan, Cairns, Jayasuriya, Sangakarra, Boucher, Pollock, Kemp and special mention for Canada's John Davison the man can smash the ball a long way, his innings against WI and NZL (in WC 2003) were exemplary in the art of big hitting.

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

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