Six Sixes in an over

Herchelle Gibbs made a record in ODIs by being the first and currently the only to score six sixes in six balls of an over.

Yes he did it against minnow Netherlands but still you got to hit every damn ball fly over the rope which is amazing. In this match South Africa mad 354 in just 40 overs, the maximum overs allocated to the match due to delayed start. Let's see what other world cup amuses we got to see.

Catches from World Cup 96

A rare but great compilation of catches from 1996 Cricket World Cup held in the subcontinent. As you should know, it was won by Sri-Lanka. Can they once again repeat the feat in 2007? We have to wait and see but this great compilation is worthy of reliving the experience anytime as one of the great cricket videos. Enjoy

Fastest World Cup Century

Watch this magnificent world cup centruy by John Davidson of Canada in World Cup 2003 against West Indies. It is still the fastest century in World Cup history. He reached his century in just 67 balls.

The end of his innings was only possible by a great catch by Drakes, with a one hand backward diving catch.

Gary Sober hit six sixes in an over

One of the greatest cricketers, Sir Garfield Sobers of West Indies is the first and the one of only two batsmen who have scored six sixes in an over in a first class match. In 1968, playing as captain of Nottinghamshire against Glamorgan in Swansea, he set the world record of the bowling of Malcolm Nash.

The other record holder is Ravi Shastri of India, who did that later in 1984 playing for Bombay.

New Zealand Clean Sweep

I tend not to put matches on this blog, rather I focus to put great cricketing moments of the past. However, this great clean sweep by New Zealand forced my attention.

Would this be the downfall of the Aussies? Or will they come back strong with Ponting in the world cup? We will have to see but certainly Aussies seem to have lost some balance in the team. Other teams like South Africa, New Zealand, India have a perfect chance to sneak away the highest trophy in world cup this spring in the Caribbean.

Anyway, let's hope for a great cricket world cup 2007, whoever wins.
