Bradman sixes

[YOTC]

There was a test match at the MCG i think, Gilly was on a pair and got off the mark, hitting a six with the first ball he faced

Are you thinking of the First ashes test in Brisbane 2002/03?

He scored that 6 off his 2nd ball.

He's only ever hit one six at an MCG test match.

I don't think he's ever hit a six off the first ball in Test Matches or ODI's.

I remember he hit a 6 off the first ball in an ODI against South Africa at Port Elizabeth- the famous one where they set us 327 to win, and we got them.

Nope? My mistake. I was drinking that night, so I was only a ball out.

That was a good win though, that game.

His theory was that you couldn't be caught if you hit it along the ground. Seemed to work out alright for him.

Worked for Lara, if you have a look at some of his big innings.
