Steve Smith hit an unbelievable six that shocked everyone. He struck the ball cleanly from the middle of the bat, and it flew 107 metres before hitting the roof at the SCG.

N McAndrew bowled a 137 kmph length ball outside off stump. Smith went back, got into position, and swung hard across the line. The ball sailed over deep square leg and landed on the roof of the Brewongle Stand. It would have gone even farther if the roof was not there.

Smith stood and watched the ball, made his usual hand gesture, and smiled. The hit came as part of a hat-trick of boundaries. This was one of the biggest sixes seen at the SCG in recent times.

YOU ARE JOKING!
