Herschelle Gibbs smashes a record six sixes in an over

Herschelle Gibbs's six sixes off Dan van Bunge's fourth over was a record for international matches.

29.1 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX!!, flighted delivery on the stumps, Gibbs comes down the track and lofts it over deep mid wicket, it seems the ball is out of the ground


29.2 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX!!, flighted delivery outside the off stump, Gibbs comes down the track and lofts it hard and high over long off


29.3 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX!!, flighted delivery outside off, Gibbs comes down the track and lofts it again over long off, that is 3 sixes on a trot


29.4 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX!!, now that is the fourth one, is it going to be a record, flighted delivery on the stumps, Gibbs comes down the track and lofts it high and high over deep mid wicket


29.5 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX!!, it is something unseen and never though off, another six and it seems records are to be written today, short of length delivery outside off, Gibbs goes on the backfoot and lofts it over between extra cover and long off


29.6 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX!!, that is the 6th one, Gibbs is simply enjoying this ride and in these flourish of sixes it seems all have forgotten that Gibbs has scored his FIFTY!!, flighted delivery outside off, Gibbs comes down the track and hits it high over long off

India has won the toss and decided to bat first

India has won the toss and decided to bat first

Dravid has decided to back Sehwag, he is in the playing eleven!

[sunilkumar]

It was pain to see the way India was playing... All the indian players are good on papers only.....

The biggest upset of the tournamet ... is loss of india most probably pakistan ... india do have chance to come if they beat srilanka and bermuda.. but now i dont think... India will able to qualify in super eight.

Bangladesh did good job in all departments of game...

Other than Ganguly and Yuvraj no other batsman was able to score..

Harbhajan bowling was good ...

Dravid captainship was not good.. we lost this match coz of his captainship.

First of all team selection was bad.

In place of Agarkar...... Pathan should have played....

Secondly, He would have told utapa to play his natural game... he was not playing his natural game...

Thirdly Utapa and Ganguly should have open the inning and Sehwag would have come one down.

Fourthly, when Ganguly try to hit over boundry by taking risk... he stoped him... As per me without taking risk we can't win.. Cricket is a game and in game we do have to take chances...

Fifth the Slogan of pepsi is not good...---> Hu haa India... <--- ( I dont know why I dont like ... but its very unlucky for india even in ICC tournament... our performance was not nice).

Sixth mistake... He took batting after winning toss ... when wicket was having something for bowler in morning....

Seventh Dhoni is playing very low down the oder i will prefer him to play at the top....where Dravid use to come for bat.

Note:- Agarkar is Good for nothing... He was always secondary type of bowler for india... earlier shrinath and prasad were primary then Zahir and Nehra , then Munaf and Zahir.... After getting so much exp. Agarkar is still secondary bowler... Any way he is not doing batting ... so Pathan should be in and He should be out... One more thing I will like to tell.. Dravid should not be ashmed to take guidance from Ganguly on field... see its a team game..

Dravid and Chapple should understand our non-regular bowler did great job... they share 10 over within themself in which they took 2 wicket and gave only 37 run.
Non-Regular bowler
===================
S Tendulkar 3 over 8 run
Y Singh 3 over 15 run
V Sehwag 5 over 17 run and 2 wicket


Will India Going to qualify in super 8... that is the biggest question now...

I wasted my whole evening and night.... seeing india play

[India1989]

HU HA INDIA HAARA INDIA.

great job India. We are so proud of you India. Hope you keep losing like this.

god what's wrong with India.

On the other hand Ireland defeated Pakistan by 3 wickets.

Good job Ireland.

Pakistan is out of world cup now.... & his coach was found unconcious in his room and when he was take to hospital in jamica he found to be dead... it was really socking news...

Bob was great coach but he did mistake by coaching Pakistani team in which many player are not able to understand English....

Bob was good coach for south african team... actually he made south african team for future.

Bob was far better coach than Chapple....

Bob term was not nice with few pakistani player like Shohib Akhtar.

I think pakistan board should only select pakistani coach for their team ... PCB should not try to copy BCCI coz India is different, most of indian player are able to understand english very well....

I Do have doubt that.... BOB was killed by someone(murdered) due to pakistani team performace.... Proper investigation of this has to be done......

As a cricket lover i am sad of this news..... May god give peace to soul of BOB.

BOB played as all-rounder in 19 test and 6 one-dayers for England, he was better coach than player...

[India1989]

God bless Bob's soul. He was born in India. I am really sad and shocked after hearing this news.
