Hard to believe, but zimbabwe managed to lose the match from the jaws of victory

. Matsikenyeri just lost his cool in the last ball and tried to score a boundry where a easy single could have done the job. Adding insult to the injury was that they managed to get all out

At one point it looked as if ireland will be no match to zimbabwe as the african team needed 14 off last 30 balls with 4 wickets in hand. But their batsmen perished just like their team has over past 5 years.

Anyone watching SA vs. HOL? Gibbs hits 6 sixes in an over. Match reduced to 40 overs and still SA is going towards 350.

just heard

and see this

The big hitters have extra incentive to smash the bowling out of World Cup cricket grounds, with a long-standing benchmark at stake and US$1 million on offer for charity.

The Six Sixes challenge has been launched, with tournament sponsor Johnnie Walker offering the $US1 million to Habitat for Humanity housing projects for the first batsman to hit six sixes in one over at the World Cup.

“These days we are seeing more and more big totals and sixes being hit in one-day cricket by powerful batsmen with big bats, yet no-one has ever hit six sixes in one over of any international match,” said West Indies great Sir Viv Richards, an ambassador for the ‘Know Your Boundaries’ campaign.

so gibb's charity gets 1 million dollars

Herschelle Gibbs smashes a record six sixes in an over

29.1 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Violence! Gibbs charged down the track and hoicked it over long on.

29.2 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Murder! Floated on the leg and middle stump line and Gibbs sends it soaring over long-off.

29.3 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Carnage! Flatter one this time but it makes no difference to Gibbs. He just stands there and delivers. This one also has been sucked over long off

29.4 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Wah Wah! Low full toss and guess where this went Yep. A slap slog and it went over deep midwicket! He is going to go for 6 sixes in this over!

29.5 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Short in length, on the off stump line and Gibbs rocks back and swat-pulls it over wide long off. SImply amazing. What a batsman. This is pure violence!

29.6 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, He has done it! One-day record. No one has hit six sixes in a row. GIbbs stands alone in that zone. And the minnow bashing continues! Full and outside off and bludgeoned over deep midwicket
