Occasionally, we may deviate from our - Analysis of Market Economics - theme to talk about unrelated matters. 
Today happens to be one such day.
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Let’s talk Cricket.
We bring to you “Six Sixes in an Over” - the very first time it has happened in an international cricket match.
South African Herchelle Gibbs (pictured alongside) created a world record of maximum runs in an over in the process.
That it comes in the “World Cup” makes it even more special. Never mind that it comes in the match between top ranked South Africa and minnows Netherlands.

Herschelle Gibbs’s six sixes off Dan van Bunge’s fourth over was a record for international matches. Below is the ball-by-ball description of the mauling
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! Full and outside off and bludgeoned over long off
Just Brilliant.
And to think of it the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) official world cup website does not even feature this on their top page (at least not as of 1845 hrs GMT on March 16).
Update : Here’s the video of the feat. Enjoy.
