Parth Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Re: 177 and Counting... The number of sixes SMASHED by Dada...in ODIs... The highest by an Indian...and 3rd Highest in the world... Hopefully that nuber will rise greatley in the World Cup
Predator_05 Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Re: 177 and Counting... He has played plenty of matches, and it's 176, not 177. Tendulkar and Inzamam have 150 as well. Another interesting stat; the top 10 six hitters in the history of ODI cricket in terms of a sixes per inning ratio; 1. M Dhoni - 1.06 2. S Afridi - 0.99 3. J Kemp - 0.88 4. A Flintoff - 0.83 5. C Cairns - 0.79 6. A Ahmed - 0.79 7. R Powell - 0.75 8. V Richards - 0.75 9. S Ganguly - 0.63 10. L Cairns - 0.63 *Note; other renowned big hitters who didn't make the list; - A Symonds - 0.62 - S Jayasuriya - 0.60 - L Klusener - 0.55 - A Gilchrist - 0.50 - A Razzak - 0.52 - A Jadeja - 0.47
Birbal3 Posted February 18, 2007 Author Posted February 18, 2007 Re: 177 and Counting... So he his in top 10 in both total and %...of sixes... and also in averages and total runs and number of centuries and man of the match awards too... One can easily say he is among the top 10 ODI players of all time
Birbal3 Posted February 18, 2007 Author Posted February 18, 2007 Re: 177 and Counting... btw who is this A. Ahmed?

One can easily say he is among the top 10 ODI players of all time Even without the sixes record, he would easily be in the top 5 ODI batsmen in the history of the game. His 50 to 100 conversion rate is 2nd to only Tendulkar's and no other batsman can match his sheer volume of runs. BTW - that was Aftab Ahmad, the Banglastani slogger.
Parth Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Re: 177 and Counting... Who is dada? mate he is the great GANGULY
Captain of Bhangra Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Re: 177 and Counting... One can easily say he is among the top 10 ODI players of all time No-one would deny that. In fact, I'd go as far as to say one of the top 5 ODI players of all time...
King Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Re: 177 and Counting... Is Cairns the highest six scorers in test cricket BTW? I'm sure Dhoni will surpass everyone. Is Afridi at the top of the list in ODIs for scoring sixes?
MundaPakistani Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Re: 177 and Counting... IIRC Afridi has 215 in 216 games!
Captain of Bhangra Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Re: 177 and Counting... One decent stat. ODI cricket has been in existence for over 36 years... MS Dhoni has only been playing for just over 2 years, yet he is 36th in the table for sixes hit in a career. To put it into context, Sehwag is just 5 places, and 4 sixes above him...
Predator_05 Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Re: 177 and Counting... Is Cairns the highest six scorers in test cricket BTW? I'm sure Dhoni will surpass everyone. Is Afridi at the top of the list in ODIs for scoring sixes? Cairns is 3rd - Gilchrist has the most sixes in Test cricket; almost 100. Dhoni has hit 62 sixes over the course of just 66 matches !! He will own the record for maximum # of sixes by the time he finishes his career.

Is Afridi at the top of the list in ODIs for scoring sixes? Afridi is joint top with Jayasuria. They both have 224, then comes Ganguly with 176... Dhoni has 62 sixes in 58 innings so far...
