What does SIXER mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
In cricket, a hit that clears the boundary on the full and scores six runs in one stroke.
A sixer is the biggest scoring shot in cricket, more commonly called a six, and commentators favour the word sixer for extra emphasis when a batter clears the rope without the ball touching the ground first. The same word is used in Scout and Guide groups for the leader in charge of a patrol of six members, a completely different but equally established sense. Crowds at a match often cheer loudest for a sixer, since it rewards clean, powerful hitting, and both senses share the same root idea of the number six applied to very different settings.
