The ING Cup in Australia had an ad hoarding which batsmen could target to earn prize money and in the 2003/04 edition, Andy Flower became the sixth batsman ever, and the first in the season, to hit the sign while playing for the Redbacks.
Flower’s six came off part-timer Marcus North in the death overs; a slog sweep that hit the target bang on the middle, making his stint in Australia quite a lucrative one.
