Batsman's sixes 'call off match'
A Hong Kong cricket match has been cancelled because of fears that one of its big-hitting stars will pose a danger to passing traffic.

The decision was made after 24-year-old Hussain Butt struck 36 sixes in a league match for Hong Kong University.

The Pakistani player's knack for hitting boundaries meant he made 311 not out - but lost 12 balls in the process.
Somehow I don't think the loss of 12 balls wouldn't have bothered his side much ;)
