Men's Hundred | Twitter and Stokes in awe as Jamie Overton smacks 107-metre biggie after monstrous six

Winning the toss and electing to field first did not pan out fruitful results for the Superchargers as the top three of Manchester belted 73 runs inside the powerplay. However, the introduction of spin pegged back at the hosts before a couple of sixes from Jamie Overton left the opposition skipper wowed and turned the tables upside down in favour of the home side.

Overton’s score read four off 15 balls before a four and a six brought down his strike rate to decent numbers. The 90th ball of the innings saw Pattrick Brown bowl a fuller delivery in the slot outside the stumps. Overton sat deep in the crease and walloped it straight down the ground for a 97-metre hit with the ball launched into the second tier. He didn’t just stop there as the penultimate delivery was clubbed across the line for over long on for the same outcome. However, the distance on the fuller delivery read 107-metre, assisting the Originals to inch around the 150-run mark. While Stokes was wowed by the first six from Overton, the second one was even bigger, leaving the Twitterverse abuzz.

What a shot!

All rounder

Is Ben Stokes actually an all-rounder? Because every time I’ve seen him bowl it isn’t a pretty sight

Deserve better

Get Ben Stokes out - half a season and making no effort at all, we deserve better than the rubbish he is giving with the bat and ball.

Embarrassing

By some distance, Phil Salt aside, this is the worst performance of any side in the white ball game in this country. Flat track and it’s just awful. Hang you heads in shame Manchester, this is embarrassing

Struggle is real

Take Phil Salt out of this Manchester Originals side and they’d struggle to amass 40 runs between the rest of them….absolutely pish again
