Judging from the poll it seems that the "other" person must be Afridi's six. Well by the way doesn't Afridi have the highest number of sixes in limited overs cricket?

I am aware of that, clobs. In other thread, there are stats to support. Tell me just 1 way you can tell if that ball that was hit was the biggest of all or not. The only thing you have is video of that ball, and nothing else.


Short of knowing the ground dimensions there is not a whole lot one can do

Wrong. Vaas hit the biggest at Sharjah. It landed on the far side of the highway near the stadium. Bowler was Travis Friend of Zimbabawe.

You said it should be Afridi or Ahmed.

I saw one in Melbourne where Afridi clobbed Watson of Symonds, I can't remember but it went miles into that big Melbourne Stadium. It reached the highest stands.

Gayle on Thursday hit the record for the highest in the air though.

In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.

People often take such threads too seriously and with some bias, its a light hearteded thread, nothing to argue over. ive seen M waugh it one of the biggest i have ever seen. i have seen afridi go miles, Lara hit a massive one against warne. Inzamam hitting murali, and vaas out of the ground. Kallis hitting a monster in 1999 against newzealnd, razzaq's many sixes have been massive (espclly that ODI in england this summer). However, Afridi's six was the biggest on that auss ground and no one has seen a bigger on as you can hear the experts say. Generally the auss grounds are some of the biggest around the world.

Gayle hit the highest recorded six interms of height that it went up in the Air(sky).

Please no one get me wrong becasue i doesn't mean the further six as distance out of the stadium

It looks like that somebody has invented a thing that can measure the ball's distance when its up in the air .

All stadiums are not same size, and roofs are not same size.

Henjam that was in auss, Mark Waugh did hit it miles, at that time it was considered the biggest six ever seen on telly, but i believe afridi has gone further with his, you can see what Bill lawry thinks. DF your a delight, u always make me laff with your wierd and wonderful suggetions.

I repeat. You can never say which has been the biggest sixes ever. I have already seen two such threads and found it very weird. If you want, you can change the poll to "Who hits sixes often" or "Whose hits big sixes" or "Let's discuss about big sixes."

This is truth, not DF fashion.

Micael Hussey hit one against World XI to the roof. He swept Ntini and it was called a dead ball.

The biggest I have seen is from Lance Cairns. He hit one handed six of Vinothan Jhon of SL which went miles.

It was Asif Mujtaba who hit a six on the last ball to steve waugh and the match was tied, pakistan never won it on scores. Few of the biggest sixers I remmember one by Afridi in england last series and one by brett lee in south africa or against them.
so far so good!

Depends on how you describe biggest. Inzi, you should know this. Who was the pakistan player who hit Steve Waugh for 6 off the last ball to win by 1 run back in the early 90's.

 

Aside from that, I think Wasim Akrams during his 100 at Adelaide must rate highly.

Judge the player not by their stats, but by their opposition.

When the Australians train at the Telstra dome they have always tried to do that. It should have been a six but the umpire just called it a no ball
