Biggest six ever?

Absolutely massive. Can't remember many bigger. Possibly Gayle off Lee at the Oval.
 
His one off Symonds was bigger but this one's up there too.
 
That was enormous.
I can't really think of a bigger one ATM.
 
yes the balls tend to to further in South Africa due to the thing air at high altitudes, so yeah that was huge!
 
As big or if not bigger than the one v Symonds.
 
The biggest I recall was one from aiden blizzard in KFC T20 BIG BASH. The ball landed in the car park.

This is probably one of the top 10 biggest sixes
 
ganguly has hit out of stadium many times.. he hitde silva out of stadium. probably thats the biggest one

Plenty of batsman have hit out of the stadium, but I don't recall any going over a stand as big as the one in jo'burg.
 
Pollock confirms its the biggest SIX hit at the Wanderers the ball ended up in the Golf course

Nasser Hussain loves Boom boom

Naseer Hussain highlighted the name Boom Boom for Afridi and from Boycot
Keep it up Afridi
 
I believe that was the biggest 6 I have seen in 20 years of cricket.

Shaun Pollock was no doubt that was the biggest 6 ever at Joburg.
 
Has to be up there in the top 3 of the biggest ever.... and probably the biggest in international cricket
 
One of the biggest hit ever. That was huge

monster hit by Pollard

Havn't seen the video for this one yet but the biggest i've seen in recent times was the 129m six Martin Guptill hit off Tsotsobe last year.

Biggest ever is one Nathan Astle hit when playing for Canterbury. Some say it still hasn't landed.
 
Let's keep this discussion to international cricket.

I am sure there have been many in domestic cricket but it's not the same.
 
destruction...... that was such a huge hit.... tomorrow news a "golfer in hospital due to a flying cricket ball" :p :p :p
 
That was a biggy.....so was his against Symonds/Lehmann @ Wacca
 
you could see it still hadn't reached it peak when it hit the roof... depending on your measuring it.... if you look at the trajectory and with no obstacles in its path.... you could get a rough estimate using trig maths to calculate where it would have landed.

if the six is just measured on distance until it hits something, this is still big, but maybe not the biggest.

If it had a clear path, looking at google maps and wanderes stradium, looks like it would have landed some 200m near the golf course green at that end
 
That was monster , afridi you beast , you destroyed bowler career lol
 
its 158 meter. Everyone on facebook is claiming world record for the longest six has been broken.
 
Ok guys I have done some rough calculation from Google Earth. Not sure if that's accurate or not. I'm not good at all with Maths, statistics and geometry either. But this is what I came up with. Let me know what you guys think of this?

I remember Saeed Anwar hitting Terry Alderman for a hooked six at Sydney. I think it went over those green stands. Bill Lawry talks about it even today. It was the same game in which Imran bowled his foible wicket maiden last over which is now a very popular YouTube clip. I listened to that on my Panasonic radio as an 11-year-old.
 
Actually they could be right... I realized didn't take the actual distance of descend into consideration in the snapshot above, I just took the distance where the ball had impacted.
 
Defo the biggest six I have seen. :afridi Maybe Gayle's sixes would come closer

It was not a hook. It was some sort of a sweep which went on top of the stands. In those days, with those bats, it was a terrific hit.
 
For gods sake, it was big. Huge infact. I lost my breath for a few seconds.

Afridi made 88 runs and played an amazing innings. He hit wonderful shots. THE six got him SIX runs. We lost.

Who cares about the size?
 
Here it is..

Typical answer from an Indian fan..lol....

One has to be blind to notice this six as probably the biggest the world has ever seen.

Afridi is a monster, so pls don't compare any other SC batsman with his pathan's power. Give credit where its due, its a quality to do so.
