Brisbane Heat opener Josh Brown spilled the beans on his surreal experience in the BBL 2023-24 game against the Adelaide Strikers. En route to his 140 runs from 57 balls, he also hit the highest number of sixes in an innings in BBL.
BBL 2023-24: Brown spills the beans on his 140-run knock
Speaking about his record shattering knock, Brown revealed that he was pretty tired and that messages hadn’t stopped coming in since that knock. He admitted that it was very rewarding and special for the team and himself, especially in the finals.
“It [messages] hasn’t stopped,” Brown told media in Brisbane on Tuesday. “I haven’t really felt it [sink in] yet. I’m pretty tired. It was pretty special to do it in a final… for the team and rewarding for myself.
“To do what I did in a pressure game was surreal.”
Brown shatters BBL records
Brown’s 41-ball hundred is only the second fastest in the BBL’s history. Last year’s Melbourne Stars star, Glenn Maxwell, scored a 41-ball hundred against the Hurricanes at the famous MCG.
Brown hit 12 sixes during the course of his brisk innings, breaking the record of Chris Gayle, Simmons and Chris Lynn, who all hit 11 sixes.
Brown also scored the third highest individual score in BBL history, behind only Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis.
