I suspect it's a phrase from the game cricket.

A "six" in cricket is defined as follows:

Six 1. n. six runs scored by hitting the ball over the boundary on the full.
2. n. the act of hitting the ball over the boundary on the full.
3. n. six runs scored off a single ball, either by a boundary or by running six runs between the wickets.

A "return" in cricket is defined as follows:

Return 1. v.t. (of a fielder) to throw the ball from somewhere in the field back to the wicket-keeper or another fielder stationed near one of the wickets.
2. n. a throw from a fielder to the wicket-keeper or another fielder stationed near one of the wickets.

Inferred: "sixes no returns" means hitting sixes with no return from the fielder.

I have never heard or read that expression in my life. Can you use it in a sentence? Where did you see it?
