You could give up six fours, and still be a six short.

One six shy of six sixes.

Six fives, which isn't even remotely possible but still fun to imagine.

Ishant Sharma, even into this morning, was trending across Twitter, and not in an especially flattering way.

The jokes ran the gamut, from clever to bitter to downright cruel.
