sixer

Ball clears rope

A sixer is a leader of a six-person group of Cub Scouts, typically the oldest or most experienced member.

In cricket, particularly in British and Commonwealth usage, a sixer is a shot that clears the boundary without bouncing, scoring six runs: He hit three sixers in the final over.

The term appears in various contexts for anything involving the number six.
