'Got your ball': Chris Lynn goes berserk as CCTV footage captures six
Aussie cricketer Chris Lynn has kick-started his T20 season with a bang after scoring 83 off 46 balls for the Steelbacks with a local home's backyard footage capturing one of his sixes that left the stadium.
In his first home game for the Steelbacks in the competition, the Australian took an instant liking to Wantage Road as he cracked 83 from just 46 balls.

It proved more than enough as a shell-shocked Durham were bowled out for 192 after 18.5 overs.
And in an incredible moment, CCTV footage from a nearby home picked up one of Lynn's sixes flying into their backyard.
A picture was shared of a young lady holding the white ball with the cricket game going on from across Wantage Road in the background.

Lynn has played 11 years and over 100 games for the Heat and is the BBL's all-time leading run-scorer.
He has played 18 T20 internationals for Australia, as well as four one-day internationals.
