Herschelle Gibbs hits six sixes in an over

We've just seen it with our own eyes. Six sixes from the bat of Herschelle Gibbs.

D L S Van Bunge of Holland was the unlucky bowler. At this stage, he's the only Dutch bowler to have gone for more than 36 runs. The first six went out of the stadium then there were four more and the sixth earned one million dollars for Habitat for Humanity.

Bad luck, people at Johnnie Walker. There'll be no Christmas bonuses for you this year.

Million dollars for six sixes in an over during the World Cup

If anyone hits six sixes in an over during this World Cup, Johnnie Walker - the whisky folk - are going to give a million dollars to Habitat For Humanity - a charity who build homes for deprived communities.

We see this as being an open and unrefusable challenge to the likes of Ricky 'sixes are the future' Ponting and the rest of the hulking beefcakes. If sixes are so easy, go for it. There's a million dollars at stake here that would benefit the needy.

Gary Sobers managed it. Are you saying that you're not as good as Gary Sobers? Are you saying that you're in some way inferior to the greatest cricketer who ever lived?
