"Wasn't even aware of it": Finn Allen on scoring record sixes in the Big Bash

Finn Allen has had a superb Big Bash campaign with the Perth Scorchers. 

He’s the competition’s second highest run scorer with a total of 430, just three runs behind former Australian opener David Warner.  

His form has helped the Scorchers into tomorrow’s Grand Final in Perth and seen him named in the Team of the Tournament. 

Allen told Piney it’s nice to see the work he’s been putting in in the lead up to the tournament pan out. 

He’s also hit a record number of sixes in the tournament, a feat he wasn’t aiming for, nor was he aware of until he was told.
