Greatest shots you have seen

[OzBomber]

I'm thinking of the shot that gilly hit out of the ground at bellerive a few years ago where the australian media tried to string the bloke up that got the ball and bolted with it.

Not only a great shot but a great story

Back to back sixes if I remember correctly. One went onto the hill and the next went out the ground.

There's also one in the century he made against Zimbabwe where he hit one onto the roof of one of the stands which he said is the furthest he's hit a ball at the WACA. It's on the dvd 'New Guard'.

Some of the shots Ricky Ponting played in the 2003 World Cup final were just immense. Was hitting them so far. Our Aussie batsmen loved that ground.

Ponting hit a 6 v Pakistan a few years back that never went more than 5 metres high over square leg that nearly decapitated a few in the crowd. Think it was a Test but not certain.

Travis Birt put one into the tennis courts next to Junction Oval in a 1 dayer against the Vics 4 or 5 years ago, and another one onto I think Queens Road. Both massive hits.

Was that the game they put on that massive partnership of 300 plus?

Yep. Mark Waugh was amazing that day, just effortless, no follow through on one of the biggest sixes you will ever see.

Mark Waugh batting with his brother, slapped Brad Oldroyd ontop of the Prindiville stand was effortless, a tribute to his style and class.

W.T.F

I swear I've seen a post exactly the same (word for word) a few years ago, but nobody will probably remember.

Probably same person, different name

Not the biggest hit (since the Beatles) in the thread, but I'm surprised this one hasn't been brought up yet...
