Don't get too happy though, he'll have to put in some more regular performances to keep his spot

Cairns 87 6s in 62T! .... But I guess kallis goes for more 6s because he has 88 :P

[Sid]

Sahibzada Khanzada retired,otherwise this record was going to be his.

[cowboysfan]

I am terrribly dissapointed in Viru,he seems bored out there at times.we need the big scoring viru back in australia to have any success,you cant lose your openers before lunch and hope to make any serious impact in a test.

[carnish]

viru is a gone case these days... throws away good starts... the viru of ODIs has come into the test arena... MSD will hit a lot of sixes though in the future and is a certain to lead that stat

[zen]

Based on the stats presented, for guys who have played 50 tests or 100 innings, Cairns has the record 6pt ---> 1.4 6pi ----> 0.84 ^ that's the record to beat .... If I play 147 tests and get more 6s than him, that's more like an addition to my numbers by virtue of playing more, i.e. Kallis 6pt ----> 0.59 6pi ----> 0.35 I hope we are not made to believe that Kallis goes for more 6s because he has 88 to Cairns 87

When Md Azharudin went past Haynes to get most ODI runs (iirc), all the Indian commentators were excited. I think this was at Sharjah .... The excited commentator (don't recall who) asks Azhar on how does he feel to go past Haynes? Azhar: It would have been a record if I had got those run in as many matches/innings or less. I played more and thus went past that :winky:

[Ultimate_Game]

Number of 6s in Tests is as meaningless a stat as it gets. Different story in odis & T20s though.

:haha::haha::haha::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: he would have got there pretty soon than haynes had he not been playing for the bookies :winky:

[urbestfriend]

Tendu has 47 more to for yet another milestone :woot:

[J P K]

hope viru break that record first and dhoni if he stays in the test team for long has a chance too

no - it is even more important since SRT is way too behind.. esp on 6pi and 6pt metrics.

You have a point there :giggle:

Bhajji has as many Test sixes as Justin Langer does. 40 of them. Sixth highest for India.
