michael thomas from cove definately one of the cleanest hitters ive seen consistantly opening the batting and putting new ball bowlers over there heads into carparks still just a dirty slogger though

Come on Carey i remember one particular bloke who hit you for 6 over cover built very similar to Chris as well.

[brod]

Adam Ozlins
Grenville Deitrich (maybe not the biggest, but the power he hit the ball with )

ohhh brod i remember some clean hitting between you and i in a grand final some years ago was it a 9th wicket stand of 30 or 40 odd out of a total of 96? and we went on to win the game bowled them out for 87 after being 1/45 over night.

Great weekend that was...given no chance that Sunday morning and that made it even sweeter to shut those mouthy guy up

[locky801]

Still waiting for someone to bring my name up lol

Yep, but better than his brother

[cricketlad]

dillion brown is a sweet hitter of the ball from uraidla

[Not Scared]

Danyal Reynolds from Berri gives it a very decent whack, and does it with some regularity too.

[Baron Greenback]

Yep. Massive hitter of the ball.
Is very sharp with the leather in hand too.

Obviously Doc Clifford would have to come under this category too NS?

[Not Scared]

Yeah, certainly. He strikes the ball very well now and hits his share of sixes, but I've heard some stories of some massive hits in his younger days (one over the grandstand at Berri), so I reckon he used to hit it a bit further. Dan hit one over the RFL headquarters a couple of years ago, so that was a massive hit too.

Nice! I saw Nathan Rover hit one over the floodbank at Paringa Oval one day.
Biggest hit I've ever seen.

Marty Clifton/Chris Hunt/

How could I leave out Boes who I watched belt Reynella all over the place and is still the best hitting I have seen.

[Dogwatcher]

NS - you're lucky you played WITH Doc.
Yup, I've seen him whack some balls around.
Same with Reynolds.
Jayme Peltz is an under rated hitter of the ball.

Biggest hit I've seen though was Damien Critchley smacking the ball to the Mill Corner end of the Loxton Oval, the ball went one bounce into the fence that goes around the showgrounds.

Have also seen Reynolds tee off at the same time as another big hitter - Drew Crane. That was a fun 45 minutes.

[Shark_Hunter]

Mal Howell from West Torrens was easily the best striker of a cricket ball I've ever seen, but as a grade player he might not count. Michael Fraser, currently at Flinders Park, hits the ball as hard as anyone I've played with or against. Saw him hit a six at Adelaide No 2 that passed over the Moreton Bay Fig tree at the northern end while still going up. It landed in the far lane of the road going up Montefiore Hill and bounced into the golf course.

Agree with the comment on Critter. That was a huge hit, but a tad lucky i think.

In Adelaide, the best hitters I played with were Warwick Potts and Darren Martin (goodwood).

[catchit]

with all the practise darren martin has had in front of the mirror he should be good
