Cricket's Biggest Six-hits

1 pp

Cricket's Biggest Six-hits showcases some of the most remarkable and far-flung cricket shots ever recorded, from a six that nearly decapitated a famous weather-vane at Lord's to balls that landed in gardens, rivers, and even a passing railway wagon. These astounding feats of batting power—both successful and nearly—prove that a perfectly struck cricket ball can travel almost anywhere once it leaves the bat.
