Sydney Sixers opener Steve Smith hit a thumping six that landed on the roof of the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground during the Big Bash League (BBL) clash against Sydney Thunder on Friday, January 16. The right-handed batter smashed Nathan McAndrew and sent the ball 107 metres towards deep square leg.
The David Warner-led team posted a total of 186/6 in 20 overs after being asked to bat first. Warner smashed his second century of the season, scoring an unbeaten 110 off 65 balls, including 11 fours and four sixes. Nic Maddinson was the next best batter with 26 off 16 balls, including two fours and two sixes.

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!
