Cricket Inside Out ... Sir Garfield Sobers Hitting Six Sixes in an Over in 1968| Glam vs Notts| The Best All-rounder Ever None, you would imagine, would ever be bettered. Sobers stated that, although he had enjoyed his time in league cricket, he had a definite preference for the first-class game and he looked forward to restoring Nottinghamshire's fortunes.
Nash had actually bowled well in that innings, and despite Sobers' historic assault, finished with figures 4/100.But Sobers, who was captaining Nottinghamshire in the match, was in a different zone altogether on the day. âHe hit it straight up there. Posted by 3 hours ago.
But weâve played cricket here since 1921 so itâs OK. And Iâve hit a few sixes here myself, of course!âThe first ball I bowled to Garry after tea â left-arm spin, around the wicket â wasnât a bad ball, on a length on the stumps,â Nash continues. And Malcolm Nash was bowling. âThere had been nothing in my mind about the six sixes through the over. It is a feat only once since equalled in first-class cricket, by Ravi Shastri in 1984/85. Never miss a moment! SIMON HUGHES: I thought the best way to bowl and get him out was to keep pitching it up and let him have a go at it and hope he whacks it up in the air," Malcolm Nash remembers. From the left side of the square where that pitch was located it was barely a chip for six over midwicket.
And thatâs exactly what he did, except he didnât whack it too short! Sobers's blitz set up a 166-run win for Nottinghamshire share. Brian Laraâs 501 not out at Edgbaston 1994, Jim Lakerâs 19 for 90 at Old Trafford in 1956, and Sir Garfield Sobersâ six sixes off an over at Swansea in 1968. And the legitimacy of Sobersâ performance, 50 years ago this August, is confirmed when you hear the two protagonistsâ stories.Come August bank holiday weekend, Notts were lying in fifth spot, with one match to go. "Then the third landed up here, over long-off. So I thought I would take the Learie Constantine route. Garry was on about 40 not out. Close. But I thought â the last ball â this has got to go. Sir Garfield Sobers and, right, the ball with which he hit six sixes There are three landmark performances in the history of cricket. And that disappeared over midwicket onto the road between those two buildings.It was the first such incident in first-class cricket"It ended up at a bus stop way, way down the road and this little lad picked the ball up, took it home and brought it back the next day and it was on the national news.
This was against Glamorgan at St Helenâs, Swansea. I knew he was going to try to trick me and bowl the quick one.âThat is one of the hallmarks of the truly great batsmen. The umpires had a consultation.ââI started to walk,â Sobers says, âand the crowd were all Glamorgan fans, of course, but a lot of them said âyouâre not out, go backâ.
