This one's for Sriram Veera

From Chris Liebrand, United Kingdom
During the last cricket World Cup, South Africa played the Netherlands and during this match Hershelle Gibbs hit 6 sixes in 6 balls! Not good for the Dutch Bowler but terrific for SA. I was not able to watch this on TV but did use the cricinfo website to monitor proceedings and have always enjoyed the commentary on this website. It is often written with humour, sarcasm and a great knowledge of the game. Sriram Veera was the commentator for this match and his description of the ball by ball carnage for this amazing over in world cricket is something to be enjoyed:

March 16, 2007 Herschelle Gibbs's six sixes off Dan van Bunge's fourth over was a record for international matches. The ball-by-ball commentary captured all the excitement and action as it happened in this ball-by-ball description:

Herschelle Gibbs was in a murderous mood at Warner Park. This is his third six, smashed over long on. 29.1 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Violence! Gibbs charged down the track and hoicked it over long on. 29.2 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Murder! Floated on the leg and middle stump line and Gibbs sends it soaring over long-off. 29.3 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Carnage! Flatter one this time but it makes no difference to Gibbs. He just stands there and delivers. This one also has been sucked over long off 29.4 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Wah Wah! Low full toss and guess where this went Yep. A slap slog and it went over deep midwicket! He is going to go for 6 sixes in this over! 29.5 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Short in length, on the off stump line and Gibbs rocks back and swat-pulls it over wide long off. Simply amazing. What a batsman. This is pure violence! 29.6 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, He has done it! One-day record. No one has hit six sixes in a row. GIbbs stands alone in that zone. And the minnow bashing continues!
