who has hit the biggest six in cricket?

Question

i mean in terms of distance?

Answer 1

IT IS VISHWANATH GUNDAPPA WHICH WENT OUT OF THE MCG.ANOTHER WAS HIT BY RICARDO POWELL WHICH WENT IN A FOREST IN INDIA

Answer 2

I would say it would be Lance Cairns, followed closely by Brett Lee.

lance Cairns hit a ball out of the Melbourne Cricket Gorund and into the carpark. The MCG is one of, if not the biggest ground in world cricket so that was a massive hit.

Lee's hit against the West Indies in Brisbane off Darren Powell in 2005 was also very big as the Gabba is now a big ground and he hit it onto the top of the practice nets.

Answer 3

There is an apocryphal tale of a cricketer in the late nineteenth century who was batting at Lord's and supposedly, batting from the Pavillion End, slogged a ball with such ferocity that it cleared not only the Nursery End but also the practice pitches and the wall, and ended up on the Wellington Road.
That must've been some shot.

Answer 4

I can tell you who has hit the most significant sixer in cricket. It is Jawad Miandad. Miandad hit Chetan Sharma for a six when Pakistan needed four runs to win of the last ball of the match.

It is significant because in my opinion it affected the very psyche of the Indian cricket team as far as playing against Pakistan in Sharjah is concerned.

Answer 5

History wise then it was Garry Sobers when he was the first to hit 6 sixes in an over in county competitive cricket,the "biggest" being the final ball!I think it was against Glamorgan at Swansea in the sixties!

Answer 6

Well i remember Sachin saying in an interview, that he has seen a sixer going out of the melbourne cricket ground hit by Brett Lee

Answer 7

Brian Lara hit a Brett Lee delivery out of the Bellerive Oval. The ball landed in a neighbour's yard.

Answer 8

Brett Lee!
he absolutely
smashed a six in the
2005 match against West Indies.
He smashed nearly 500 YARDS away into the practice
nets against the bowler named Darren Powell.

Answer 9

Mark Waugh hit Daniel Vettori onto the roof of the WACA in 2000, regarded as the biggest seen in australia.

Answer 10

iirc Albert Trott is the only man to clear the pavilion at Lords. The biggest I've ever seen was by Brett Lee at Old Trafford in 2005, it bounced on the top of the stand!

Answer 11

I think it may be either Brian Lara, Martin Crowe or Steve Waugh. I have recollections of their respective BIG six hits and the commentary at the time, suggesting each hit would make the record books.
