Ricky Ponting, Monster Six

Australia Successfully Chase down 300 runs for victory, to go up 5-0 against England

always a great player to watch --- best six straight down the ground i've ever seen !!

This is probably the best shot I've seen for many years. An even better six than the monsters he hit during the 2003 world cup final.

[poolcleaner]

That is cleaner than a whistle. Best sound

[philharrison]

Amazing. The control and apparent lack of effort, the noise it makes off the bat, the collective astonished exhalation of the crowd, the slight note of awe in Mike Atherton's voice. One of the best shots I've ever seen.

[vimukthikarunarathne]

Pure class...that was the real cricket...

[mattdpeace]

The clip misses out Athers saying 'what's that, the best shot..ever?'. Seeing it live I have to agree, it's the best stroke I have ever seen.

[myoharmonics]

That's the biggest six I've seen Ponting hit.

@aayelleye
Afridi might be a bigger hitter or an entertainer but Ponting is just one of the greatest batsman. Afridi hits a few and then gets out but Ponting goes on and on and on. Ponting's technique is way better aswell. Its out of the coaches book.

[zaheerkhan-bmtl]

Johannesburg is at an altitude of 1635 meters which means due to thin air and less air pressure the ball here travels faster and ~5 meters further. That’s why we see more sixes here.

Pollard, 120m at champions league. That's the biggest and most impressive I've seen, along with Chris Gayle's two against Brett Lee in the world t20 in England

[jaztar]

thats probably gone into the commentary

[onarass]

@Leighakin 100% agree, he's human. Like everyone else, pressure just makes him a bit angry at times :-D

[sagarsunar]

Afridi is just tailender who slogs..if it comes off its good but it happens once in a blue moon..

[imranfuuast]

111m by misbah ul haq in t-20 world cup, , biggest six..

[Slendertouch]

@sagarsunar afridi isnt even a batsmen...

[mrman]

aidan blizzard hit the best ever but i liked albie morkels

[donfo]

afridi must play baseball . all he do is slogg no class. cant compare to ponting

[khanjkong]

Without Afridi there would have been no entertainment in cricket. Cricket is made boring by these slow batsmen.
