Hales fifth to hit six 6s
England batsman Alex Hales smashed six consecutive sixes to help Nottinghamshire crush Birmingham Bears by eight wickets in NatWest T20 Blast at Trent Bridge on Friday.
Hales, who will play for Mumbai Indians in the IPL for injured Corey Anderson, struck an unbeaten 86 from 43 balls with fives fours and eight sixes. Chasing 142 for a win, the explosive batsman's superb knock helped Nottinghamshire win the contest with 33 balls to spare.
He achieved the feat in the 11th and 12th overs against Boyd Rankin and Ateeq Javid, respectively. He is now the fifth batsman to hit six successive sixes. Sir Garfield Sobers, Ravi Shastri, Herschelle Gibbs and Yuvraj Singh share the record for hitting six sixes in the same over.
