Terrific video of Sir Garry Sobers’ 254 for a World XI against Australia in 1972, an innings described by Don Bradman as the greatest he ever saw played on Australian soil.

Sobers’s six sixes at Swansea

By Will 2 years ago, at the end of August, CommentsSobers%27s+six+sixes+at+Swansea2006-08-31+12%3A33%3A15Will

Super headline, that. 38 years ago to the day, Garry Sobers hit six sixes off Malcolm Nash, in one over, for Nottinghamshire against Glamorgan. And as Cricinfo reminds us, “In 1977, Nash was hit for 34 off an over by Frank Hayes, also at Swansea”.

From All Today’s Yesterday’s.
