This guy doesn't know what he's talking about, none of these first class games are 'tests' the whole page is dubious and should be deleted.

[edit] Fixed Links

I went ahead and fixed a bunch of dupe and/or broken links here, and cleaned up the grammar a little bit. And while I agree that much of this article needs to be sourced, I, being from the USA, don't have many decent sources to go on. Anybody with some good sources, please help us clean this up!

I've merged this page together with the four (cricket) and six (cricket) pages. There was a lot of duplication (particularly between the four and six pages) and I thought it would be better to have just one page. Jongarrettuk 09:15, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Just changed the Sanath Jayasuriya 11 sixes record, it was actually done in April 1996 and not in the 1994/95 season as it says. Also I've added 2 six related records by Shahid Afridi. --Zohab 10:28, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Also someone should make sure that the Chris Cairns record is updated, because Adam Gilchrist is only 2 sixes behind him and will most likely break this record in the current test matches against the West Indies. --Zohab 10:37, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

There are a lot of statements in this article without sources, and I suggest it may not be very accurate. MilesDependent 11:14, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources and article structure

Would anyone object to sourcing some of the statements of achievements from Wisden? I'll start compiling; I'd appreciate another point of view.

As to the structure of the article, it seems like it needs to explain the 2nd meaning of the word boundary, which is the scoring of 4 or 6 runs by causing the ball to cross the boundary (first def'n) rope. --AndrewHowse 22:11, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Records

Is Mascarenhas' five sixes in the final over in England's one day test win over India on 5 September 2007 a record[1]? --Legis (talk - contribs) 14:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

It might be a record for a ODI in England, but it's not the ODI record - Gibbs scored 6 sixes for S Africa in the 2007 World Cup, and that's noted in the article somewhere I think. --AndrewHowse 14:51, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
