Relation

  • Cousin - DAJ Holford

While Bradman's status as the greatest batsman is increasingly under threat, no one raises an eyebrow at Garry Sobers being called the greatest allrounder. He broke the record for the highest Test score - 365 - at 21, could bowl left-arm orthodox, wrist spin and fast-medium, and was a brilliant fielder anywhere on the ground. He was also the first player to hit six sixes in an over in a first-class game.

September 1, 1968: The Glamorgan slow-left armer took 993 wickets in First Class cricket, 324 more in limited overs games. But all that everyone remembers him for is this one over when the great Garry Sobers (playing for Nottinghamshire) hit him for six sixes, the first such occurrence in recognised forms of cricket.
