any stats on players hitting a six on the last ball to win an ODI?

10 off the last two balls by Chanderpaul must be a record.

by skully Fri 11 Apr 2008, 03:09

Dickinfo says there have been 3 previous 6-off-the-last-ball-to-win efforts in ODIs. Plus Mootjabber's six to draw off Tugga in Hobart.

>>> Javed Miandad - Pakistan v India, Australasia Cup final, Sharjah, 1986

The most legendary fix of them all ...

by lardbucket Sun 13 Apr 2008, 07:17

Asif Mujtaba - Pakistan v Australia, Hobart, 1992-93
Another typical Pakistan heart-stopper, this time off Asif Mujtaba's bat. Needing 17 to win off the final over, Mark Taylor tossed the ball to the `Iceman' Steve Waugh, whose famous last-over spells became a part of World Cup folklore during their successful campaign in 1987. Mujtaba lived up to his own reputation as a finisher, and paid scant respect to Waugh's, carting the ball at will, with a last-ball six to level the scores. Technically, there was no winner, but the moral victory was certainly Pakistan's.

A lazy triv question for anyone who is interested. A good guessing one:

I have a long list of players who have scored 500+ runs in Tests and made more than 60% of them in boundaries. But there are only 2 who have made over 5000 Test runs.

Name the two players who have made over 60% of their 5000+ Test runs in boundaries.
