Sixes League anyone?
I'll start off- 19 Maximums so far
http://minehead.play-cricket.com/scoreboard/individualPerformanceResults.asp?seasonID=24&userID=10335170
-
Just the 7 so far for me.
-
Just the 6 for me
-
1
-
0 :( though i have only played 1 game due to work :(
-
0 :( from 0 :(. Plenty of season left.
-
I have hit the mighty total of 1 six, although it was only a 10-15 meter boundary(Very uneven ground, one side had a huge boundary, the other a tiny one) so doesn't really count...
-
Faced 2 balls all season. highest score of 6 not out with 1 scoring shot.
So, 1 x 6.
-
4 so far
-
3 sixes from a total of 60 balls
-
4 so far
Ditto. Seeing as these may be the only I hit this season, I may as well describe them. WOO NOW 8!!!
1. The famous back foot 6...
2. Edged one for 6, shorter boundary on our ground..., like a pull edge - took a sliver out of the Instinct :(
3. Big hit over the trees at our ground in an Intra-Club game (Colts vs. Adults!)
4. Hooked one for 6 last Sunday, I just flicked it away, just kept on going into a hedge! :D
5. 6 over the bowler's head, on-drive :)
6. Slightly late onto a pull, but got enough of it to send it over the ropes for 6 :D
7. Yet another hooked 6 off a full toss... 8)
8. Chipped a delicate straight 6 knowing it was a short boundary... ;)
-
5 so far
-
I think I have 10 so far... a mate of mines got 25 in 7 games already - helps though as he hit 10 yesterday as he got 96 off 42 balls!

2... front foot drive over Long off

-
Haha Canners...

-
Just modded this to include today's 6 :)

-

???
-
I have not even hit a four yet...
-
Up to 32 now :)
-
Buchs that bat needs drug testing
-
Haha, well lets hope its not on crack ;) (anyone get the poor joke??)
-
7 in 5 knocks, very jealous of you getting 20+ games Ian.....
-
7 in 10 knocks - need to get some more games!!!
-
I have the great total on 1 :(
Had to 1 bounce fours that were nearly sixes so im getting there >:(
-
3 in 13 I think. All straight 6s though :)
-
0 in 12. Can't get caught if you keep it on the floor ;)
Out of interest all you lot smacking maximums all over the place do you think right, im going to hit this for 6 or does the shot just happen on instinct?
-

Used to play with a former Worcester player whose view was "A six is a mis-hit four". As you say, no chance of getting out with four all along the ground....
-
2 of my 3 have been instinct/in my arc, the other I wanted to hit over the bowler.
My last one on Saturday I saw mid on running in so I wanted to hit it over the top, luckily it was the perfect bal, got my golf swing out and it went over the fence :)
-
All instinct to be honest, if the balls in the slot I lean back and whack!
-
Agreed all instinct - if its up there give it a whack and back yourself!!

just instinct like others have said. if a ball is bowled in a specific place i swing through the line and more often than not it goes sailing over the rope
-
Fair enough chaps, I presumed it was instinct as i have tried countless times thinking about hitting it for 6 and have managed to toe one maximum but my only other was an instinct shot that i didnt think about at all. Guess i lack that killer instinct lol
Tim i like that view, i was recently told that if i wanted to hit a 6, try for a one-bounce 4 and it's more likely to go for 6 as if you don't try and hit it too hard your more likely to time it over the rope.
-
I think when I hit sixes straight down the ground I am making a conscious decision to try and hit it for 6. The other sixes I hit tend to come from pull shots, and normally that is just a case of getting 'more' of it than normal, catching it extra sweetly, or very occasionally a bit of a top edge.
-
I've hit 1!!! All be it against crap midweek team tonight
-
Up to 11 in 3 games now. I know that at the weekend I made a conscious decision to hit sixes at the end of the innings, so cleared my front leg and swung through the line. It of course is still dependant on where the ball pitches. My six scoring shot is straight so if the bowler banged it in short i would be struggling.
-
2 in 5 , the first one i thought i skied it nd it managed to clear the boundry and other was a flat one which should have been caught :D
-
Quick update on this, I'm currently on 39. 19 in the league :)
-
i must be up to about 10 haha
-
i'm on 1 at present but with the new big bat it time for some good old fashioned bluggery
-
I'm on 2 ha :)
-
im on a massive 2 as well lol :D
-
hit a couple on sat and 6 on sunday but havent been keepin tabs on the previous weeks
-
Still on 1, was very close to doubling that during a 20/20 recently trying to hit the bowler of his head for 6, sadly it was the longest part of the boundary and there was a fielder ready for the catch about 2 yards infront of the rope :( First time I had middled it all season aswell :p
-
I'm at a poor effort of 6 at the moment. Runs and sixes dried up as of late :(
-
40 :)
-
if we are including all games as in 20/20 might be near 20
-
first one of the season yesterday, hit the sightscreen halfway up :)
-
What are these mysterious "sixes" of which you speak? I always thought they were a legend... I've never hit one in seven (nearly eight) years of playing the game! :(
-
dude are u kiding? lol
-
dude are u kiding? lol
Certainly not mate! Only bat down the order, not the biggest lad in the world either!
-
I've included pretty much all games apart from 6 a side! Lol
-
2 in 4 games :) haha, not bad for me tbh!
-
I'm on 9 for the league which as an opening bat they are mainly pull shots
-
17 in the 20/20 :D
-
Up to 11 for the season now. Not bad for someone who generally doesn't hit many.
-
I hit 7 over the weekend but not sure of the season total
-
another 5 on saturday for me to add to my tally!
-
Now your a proper batsmen they should be fours Tom
-
i recon i hit about 12 of them as well ;)
-
Hit one last week. Upto 4 now! (ooooooooooooh)
-
0 still.
-
48 :)
-
is that in total or just this weekend Mr B ??? ;)
-
I finally got off the mark with a pull shot that I toed on the smallest boundary ever
-
Hit my first one last week and even that was in a 6 a side competition on a very small ground...shocking season!
-
is that in total or just this weekend Mr B ??? ;)
Definitely total! Think I've hit 24 on the weekend :S
-
Definitely total! Think I've hit 24 on the weekend :S
I reckon average per game mate, I would be right up there with you lol
-
2 per league match :)
-
im on about 35
-
There's either some seriously good players on here or a few lads playing way below the standard they should be.
-
or have a serious distain for running like myself ;)
-
I have a similar attitude to running but 40 sixes is ridiculous!
-
depends how much cricket people play....personally iv played most weekends and 1 mid-week game where i scored 101 and retired where a good 9 sixes were hit. Pair that with other innings its easy to rack them up when ur known as an attacking batsmen :)
-
I've only hit one this season. In our team's fines list, if you don't hit a 6 throughout the season then you get fined £10. Mine was a top edged sweep ;)
Keep the ball on the deck you showboaters!!!
-
haha my 1st scoring shot on sat was a 6 over square leg....my last scoring shot was a 6 over long on...before being caught off a leading edge :(
-
I think I've hit 4 this year. That's playing all Sat league games and the midweek cups.
-
some play sat and sunday plus 1/2 games in mid-week as well.....ill tally up my saturday ones when i get the book but must say its a freak season for me as seem to have scored a few runs!
-

Take it you're not a massive fan of running either..
-

Yes it is Sat/Sun and Midweek, but I haven't counted the 11 I hit in the 6-a-side comp so its not all bad :D
And Jord, there is nothing I hate more! :D
-
I'm build for comfort not for speed....I live by tge "go big or go home" ethos as does biggy B and simmy I'm sure! ;)

Amen to that!
-
Unless the straight boundaries are 10ft away, there are no dangers when I'm batting.
-
Why did they invent boundaries as an alternative to running if u weren't meant to hit them?
-
mate ist the only way! go big or go home! many times i do go home tho because i have failed to go big :( not through lack of trying
-

-
Need to check on our sunday league stuff but must be a few in there as well I'd think..might have reached the half tonnes worth :)

says 33 on the website which was the highest, lucky matty only played 3 games for his 16 sixes, had he played a couple of more you'd lost easily lol
-
Magnificent total of 1 six for me this season, extra sweet though as it was off a guy who turned up in an EDL shirt ???
-
