Aussie teenager Ollie Davies hit six sixes in a single over as he scored a remarkable 115-ball double-century in a youth match in Australia.

Davies blasted 207 while playing for New South Wales Metro against Northern Territory on the first day of the Cricket Australia Under-19 Male National Championships in Adelaide.

Coming in at No.3, it took the New South Wales Metro captain 74 balls to get to 100, and then just 39 more deliveries to make it to 200.

He was eventually bowled on 207, his innings including 14 fours and 17 sixes, six of which came in the 40th over, as Metro finished on 406-4 off 50 overs.

It was the first time a double-century had ever been scored in a one-day match during the event.

"After the first two sixes I sort of had in the back of my head that I wanted to try and give it a crack and it sort of paid off at the end," he told cricket.com.au.

"I was just getting down the back leg before the ball was even bowled and just trying to slog-sweep them over midwicket."
