robelinda ...

I got ... u know, sorta challenge for you.

There was an old game where a fast bowler (I am not sure but I think it was Shoaib Akhtar) who bowled a bouncer that was so fast and it went so high over the keeper's head that the ball landed over the boundary line for 6 bye runs.
Can you find out this rare video?

its a myth. no ball in international cricket has gone for 6 byes, the closest was Jeff Thomson in 1974 vs England, the legend of that ball has grown over the years, but its dumb because video footage doesnt lie. Its already on youtube, somewhere, ive uploaded the whole series, i'll find the ball.

U have uploaded that video but it was 4 not six ball did flew landed short of boundry I think against Langer?

No Sir.
I did some research and found some interesting information.
Apparently it HAS happened during a county match.
A British bowler named Charles Kortright (1894-1907) had bowled 'six' byes when his bouncer went over the wicket-keeper's head and only bounced after it had crossed the boundary.

However, a ball which pitches and carries the boundary without bouncing or being intercepted by the batsman scores FOUR byes - or, more appropriately as it probably passed the batsman well clear of his reach, four WIDES.

Only HITS that clear the boundary can score six.


I think such a possibly is more open now as the grounds keep on shrinking. May be someday a fast bowler does it in a 60 yards ground.
