Dexter revels in six sixes achievement

By

Middlesex’s Neil Dexter etched his name into club history by smashing six sixes in an over for the second XI at Bristol.

The former first-team skipper launched 19-year-old Gloucestershire off-spinner Miles Hammond for consecutive maximums at the WG Grace Memorial Ground.

Dexter was eventually dismissed for 147 off 74 balls as Middlesex posted 381-5 in 44 overs, winning by 56 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis Method.

Dexter told West London Sport: “It’s something I’ve never achieved in my life and something I never thought I’d achieved.

“I only realised after three sixes when the wicket-keeper reminded me. I hit the fourth one and that’s when I thought it might be on.

“I wouldn’t say I middled the last one 100% but I got enough of it to send it over the rope.

“Not many people have done it. I know Jordan Clark did it for Lancashire 2nds a couple of years ago. I felt bad for the bowler. They were very short boundaries.

“I’d like to think four of them would have gone over bigger boundaries but maybe two of them wouldn’t.”
