Teenager Jamie Lee smashed an incredible 11 sixes in two overs, making himself a big hit with his cricket team.In the first over, 18-year-old Jamie hit all six deliveries from a spin bowler over the boundary. For the next over, Jamie again faced a spin bowler. But this time he swiped at the first ball - and missed.
But he middled the next five, chalking up 66 runs in just 12 balls.
Jamie, who scored a further five sixes in his 132 not out, said: "I smashed most of the sixes straight over the bowler`s head. It was a brilliant feeling."
"There were some polite claps when I got my first six and then the excitement mounted. People were cheering on the boundary and when I got my sixth six in a row, they just went mental," he added.
Jamie admitted that he got carried away as the second spinner came up to test him.
The Mirror quoted Jamie as saying that spinner`s first ball came down to the leg side he went forward to whack it, but missed the delivery. "I just decided to carry on hitting and I knocked the next five for six," he said.
His batting led the second XI of Suffolk`s Mildenhall cricket club to a swift victory when they scored the 208 runs made by Walsham-le-Willows in a mere 13 overs.
Jamie usually turns out for the First XI as a bowler but was supposed to be taking it easy because he had a shoulder injury.
