Brevis launched six sixes in his half century, three of which went out of the ground and four of his sixes were launched 100 metres or further.<\/p>\n
The biggest was a 120m bomb over long on that could have caused a lot more damage than it did to a local fan who crashed into a fence, which it cleared, trying to take a spectacular crowd catch.<\/p>\n
Cricket\u2019s commentary team were in fits of laughter as the fan was okay, with former Australian leg spinner Kerry O\u2019Keeffe jokingly asking, \u201cis he impaled?\u201d.<\/p>\n
You can watch the fan crash into the fence in the player above.<\/p>\n
Brevis was Ellis\u2019 second scalp of the night however, after removing Lhuan-dre Pretorius (24 off 15) by also taking pace off the shorter delivery. <\/p>\n
Adam Zampa also showed that a lack of pace is the way to go on the Cairns pitch, picking up opener Ryan Rickelton (13 off 13) after he top edged a sweep shot from a Zampa wrong-un wide outside off stump.<\/p>\n
The leg spinner almost had Brevis in his first over too, but Maxwell unable to hang on to a diving effort at long on.<\/p>\n
Rassie van der Dussen also played an impressive knock, finishing unbeaten on 38 off 26.<\/p>\n
