A teenage batsman hit six sixes in a single over as part of a 115-ball double century.

Ollie Davies, 18, struck 14 fours and 17 sixes in the first day of the Cricket Australia Under-19 Male National Championships in Adelaide.

The 40th over saw captain Davies make six maximums at Glandore Oval in a 207-run innings as the NSW side reached 406 for four in their 50 overs.

Speaking to Cricket.com.au, he said: “After the first two sixes I sort of had in the back of my head that I wanted to try and give it a crack and it sort of paid off at the end.

“I was just getting down the back leg before the ball was even bowled and just trying to slog-sweep them over midwicket.”
