Biggest Six You've Ever Seen

[C_C]

I saw a six or two hit by Viv when i was young........smack outta the park.... but currently, when it comes to hitting big sixes, i think Afridi is a lightyear ahead of the rest.
He routinely puts the ball on the rooftops of big stadiums....shots that once in a season for most other players.

 

[Bookie]

Or not even once in their careers. Steve Waugh, I think in his whole 20 year career only hit 20 sixes.

Balaji's six off Shoaib Akhtar when India toured Pakistan last year; and Ganguly's six off Ashley Giles (?) at Colombo in the ICC Champion's Trophy league match (where he carried his bat for 117) in 2002.

this a tough one, i remember during either a VB series or a World Cup encounter when pakistan played sri lanka when afridi hit one of the sri lankan bowlers on the roof over square leg at the adelaide oval. Maybe its afridi six at the WACA earlier this year or during the last world cup when Gilly hit collins obuya of kenya over square leg geeezzzzz that was a huge six

 

[cameeel]

i think it was afridi, at the mcg he pulled it way back into the redevelopment behind him

NZers generally seem to be the biggest 6 gitters recently.
Cairns, Mcmillan, Astle, Andre Adams, Even Bond.

biggest six ive seen was by azhar mahmood against the bowling of james anderson in an ODI last summer at Lords. Anderson putched the ball short and mahmood hit the ball on top of the building with all the metal work at the top. Also the tallest stand out of the lot

Binga's against the windies at the gabba

Hooooooge

Didn't Lara hit the floodlights once? Not sure if it was a six or whatever.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hayden hit a couple of ridiculously huge ones off Waqar in an odi once

Apart from that, Afridi against SA recently, Waugh against Vettori, Ntini hit a massive one once against England I think... Can't remember when

The award for most brain-explodingly awesome six in the history of mankind obviously goes to Ponting off Sidebottom. You're lying if you say there are contenders.

 

[smash84]

can you post the link?

 

[smash84]

Is this the one you are talking about?

Ricky Ponting hits Ryan Sidebottom for a Huge Straight Six Out of sight at Cardiff - YouTube

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's the one. How can one look at that and not fap.
And don't you dare post some inferior slog and say it's better than the ponting one.

This was pretty epic: ONE OF THE BIGGEST SIXES EVER - MARTIN GUPTILL (127m) - YouTube

 

[GuyFromLancs]

Flintoff off Lee at Edgbaston.

Lee hit a couple of big ones himself off Harmison in 05. One hit Simon Hughes' cabin

 

[Burgey]

Mark Waugh's off Vettori at the WACA was maybe the biggest I've ever seen. Roof of the Lillee-Marsh Stand.

I saw Garner hit the clock on the Members Stand roof at the SCG one time. That was massive.

Mark Waugh's off Vettori at the WACA was maybe the biggest I've ever seen. Roof of the Lillee-Marsh Stand.

That was massive. Gayle hit the roof once too didn't he? Think it was in that 70 ball hundred he got
