[Mr. Wicket]

Wow' date=' just ONE person mentioned Dhoni.[/quote'] It was a tossup between him and McCullum for me. I picked McCullum, just because I'm a biased anti East Zone ite.

Regionalist !! :whack: Seriously though, Dhoni has played some 120 ODIs and in that short time, he has already tonked close to a hundred sixes. I think he is almost neck and neck with Yuvraj Singh in the sixes count, even though Yuvraj has played a hundred more games.

[Predator_05]

Looked it up. Dhoni: 91 sixes in 123 matches. Yuvraj: 109 sixes in 220 matches

Yup. I do find McCullum a little more entertaining though as a batsman - probably because of his devil-may-care attitude half the time, whereas Dhoni actually approaches his batting selfishly to achieve milestones while sitting out important tests with a lot more responsibility and sense. Mind you, if I could find it in my heart to drop one of my top 6, I'd pick both with one being a specialist bat.

Here are some interesting facts... Player ranking by the most # of sixes in ODIs. The 'sixes' column is hidden on the right below. Perhaps something more interesting would be the ratio of sixes/innings or sixes/runs_scored. But I'm too lazy to do it. Initially in his career, I think Dhoni had a +1 ratio of sixes to matches played. Over the years, he has mellowed down a little IMO.
