I have the great total on 1 
Had to 1 bounce fours that were nearly sixes so im getting there 

[Colesy]

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!

[Byo]

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

[alexrickyponting]

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

[Nickauger]

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
