Of course, my 6th man is BASIL D'OLIVEIRA. How could it not be?
In the "coloured" leagues in SOuth Africa, he once scored 225 (out of a team score of 236) in under 70 minutes.... his first hundred came in 25 minutes. This innings started with five consecutive 6s and in total ended up with 28 sixes and 10 fours - that's 208 in boundaries.
Another time he scored 46 off an 8 ball over.
And of course he was a decent medium pacer.
- Roy Fredericks
- Garry Sobers
- Basil D'Oliveira
- Marcus Trescothick (w)
- Andrew Symonds
- Franklyn Stephenson
I mean, that's a scary lineup.
@El Loco is next
