    If you manage to smash six sixes off an over, you join a rather illustrious club.

    Throw a few no-balls into the mix, combine with them with those six sixes, and then a pop a four and a single in for good measure, and you have a new world record.

    On Wednesday, Joe Carter and Brett Hampton, playing for Northern Districts in New Zealand’s Ford Trophy, tore into Central Districts’ Willem Ludick, hammering 43 off his 10th and final over.

    His figures ballooned from 9-0-42-1 to 10-0-85-1, and we saw a new List A (any official, professional limited-overs match) world record 43 runs off an over.

    Side note – Ludick is South African born.

    This video has a handy ticker to keep count:

    Here’s Cricinfo:

    This toppled the 39 conceded by Alauddin Babu, a Bangladesh first-class cricketer, in a Dhaka Premier League match in 2013. At the other end of the record then was former Zimbabwe captain Elton Chigumbura, who smashed four sixes and three fours in a seven-ball over courtesy a no-ball.

    Well, at least Willem will forever be a part of cricketing history, because you feel 43 off an over is going to take some beating.

    I can’t write about this without a little throwback to 2007, and our own Herschelle Gibbs clobbering six sixes in a row.

    Marvellous.
