Hit a six, help charity

There’s some incentive for the big hitters in the 2007 CWC when they hit a six.

The “Six Sixes Challenge” has been launched, with tournament sponsor
Johnnie Walker offering the $1 million to Habitat for Humanity housing
projects for the first batsman to hit six sixes in one over at the
World Cup.

But it’s not as simple as it seems. This is a feat that has not been achieved too often.

The only people who have ever done it in first-class cricket are our
own Gary Sobers and India’s Ravi Shastri and to me this tournament,
with our traditionally short boundaries, is the time to change that.
