The fiery Australian batsmen, Chris Lynn and Glenn Maxwell have decided to support for victims of bushfires raging around Australia, donating cash for every six they hit. The fire has affected 18 lives and forced mass evacuations, with the country bracing for a weekend heatwave expected to fan the deadly infernos.

Tweeting about the same, Lynn wrote: “Hey Guys, for every six I hit in this years Big Bash League I will donate $250 towards the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal. It is special to see so many athletes from various sports getting in behind the real heroes who are fighting to save lives and properties around our country.”
