Played against Clint Perren on the SCGXI tour I did to the UK in 2013. He was playing for MCC, on the Nursery Ground at Lords. Was the biggest mismatch ever, we were average at best and they put out a proper team, including him and a couple of young blokes from England U19. Anyhow, Clint came in near the end, they were 2 or 3 down and only needed 30 or 40 with 15+ overs left. Well I think it took him about 10 balls, he scored nearly all of them including hitting one out of the ground into the top deck of the back of the stand next to the media centre on the main ground. I think it’s the biggest hit I’ve ever seen!
