who never conceded a 6?

Actually i'm surprised he never did in any format, but such is
the legend on the net, and as he never played T20, i spose
its possible.

Prior to 1910 a ball had to be hit out of the ground for a six to be
awarded, so it's plausible that a bowler in that era might never have
conceded one. Alfred Shaw seems a likely candidate.

i constantly forget that others memories reach back much
further than my own, so its possible that quite a few edwardian
era players and earlier might never have conceded a 6. I guess
I should have said since 1970 which is when my own cricket
memory sort of begins but lets say since 1945 when these sort
of ball by ball records might be recorded.

Was that the only time garner got hit for 6? I used to watch him regularly
in the JPL plus the 80s tests and i dont remember it happening. I thought
it was Garner too but when I looked at this the names that first came up
were Ambrose and Walsh.

However I since read that Ambrose was hit for 6 by Basit Ali, not
sure when, and Walsh also got whacked into the stands by Merv
Hughes of all people! And its not Murali either as I remember KP
reverse sweeping him for 6 when he otherwise skittled england.

I think richards tonked him for a leg side 6 in a WC when he was
no longer quick. Possibly Fredericks too in that innings at Perth.

The net says its Malcolm Marshall as MH mentioned. But on another
forum it was claimed he took a battering early on at Kanpur or Delhi.

I suspect that most of the greats got hit for 6 either early or late
on in their careers, although 6 hitting in tests in the 60s-70s before
the huge increase in ODi probably wasnt as common as it is now.

I stopped looking after finding the above, but moving on to 1977/78 Aus in
WI, 2nd Test, Bridgetown, Yardley hit 2 6s off Garner in Inns1.

> However I since read that Ambrose was hit for 6 by Basit Ali, not
> sure when,

Basit only played 3 Tests vs. Windies, all in 1992/93 in WI. In T1 at
PofS, he hit one 6 off Hooper (Inns2). In T2 (Bridgetown) 2 6s were hit
in Pak's Inns1, one by Basit & one by Wasim, off Walsh & Hooper; Pak I2,
3 6s, Miandad, Waqar & Ata, off Walsh (1) & Hooper (2). T3 (St. John's),
Pak I2, 2 6s off Hooper - Miandad & Inzamam. Assuming my data is correct
it doesn't seem to have been in a Test - he played 10 ODIs vs. WI, he
hit 6s in 2 of them, in Sharjah 1993/94, 1 on Nov 1, 5 on Nov 5, &
another, also in Sharjah, 13 Oct 1995. Neither CricInfo nor
CricketArchive have details of 6s conceded by bowlers in those matches.

its beginning to look like a legend as i thought. If you google this
Ambrose comes up first, but I'm pretty sure he got hit for 6 in his
last test against pakistan by inzamam, although if that was his
only time, thats pretty good anyway.

Keith Miller 147 wkts in 55 tests, as he opened the bowling i think hes allowed but
i am surprised that no one ever hooked him for 6. obviously too quick and without a helmet just too
dangerous.

Neil Hawke 91 in 27. As he played in the 60s I guess batters were less adventurous then ;)

Derek Pringle 70 in 30. The bitson of bitsons who only seemed to play when someone
else was injured usually botham, so this is surprising as I thought he once conceded
over 100 runs in a odi, so i would have thought he might have been hit for 6 in a test.

Mudasser Nazar 66 in 76. Really a batter and a fillin bowler except when he destroyed
england at lords once.

Mahmud Hussain 50 in 27. played for Pak in the 50s. never heard of him.

Though being really quick might make it more likely that a top edge
would carry for six. Being fast-medium might actually reduce your
chances of going for six compared to being a truly fast bowler.

They were. Also I think boundaries tended to be longer. He was no more
than fast-medium, which tends to support my suggestion above.

Ditto for Pringle and Mudasser (who was no more than medium-paced).

I had seen a list of 5 bowlers on a different website, so I assumed this
was the same list. It was, but it also included this paragraph:

"It’s worth a mention here, that Miller’s team-mate Ray Lindwall had
conceded just one six in the 13,650 balls he delivered in his Test
career. Incidentally, that was hit by England’s Cyril Washbrook who
managed one against Lindwall, for the latter to concede his only six of
his career in Melbourne during the 1946/47 Ashes series. This also means
that these two Aussie bowlers combined conceded just one six in 24,111
balls in their career. Amazing!"

Although the Cricinfo scorecard for Melbourne 1946/47 says that
Washbrook hit a six in each innings, and Charles Davis's scorecard shows
a six conceded by Lindwall in the first innings, it does not show a six
scored by any England batsman in that innings, nor is there one in the
ball-by-ball. Washbrook's six in the second innings was off Toshack.

However, the ball-by-ball for the following Test at Adelaide does show a
Washbrook six off Lindwall in the second innings.
