Probably the greatest all-rounder the game has seen. Played less tests when his career was happening, so the bare stats don't give the full picture, although impressive enough

Littleborough professional in 1975.

Maestro? No. Elite? No. Heavyweight poster? No. Able to be rational and not over-react to individual results? Yes.

Didn't he get six sixes in an over? One of which boshed the broadcasting window?

The worm of time turns not for the cuckoo of circumstance.

He hit six sixes in one over playing for Notts versus Glamorgan at Swansea.
It’s still somewhere on YouTube.
The last one soared out of the ground and down a street towards the town centre.

The amazing thing to my mind is that, compared to the relatively massive bats employed these days, Sobers’ bat was small and flimsy.

Cracking old black and white footage

Commentator needs a few lessons in maths !!!


Same video but 50 years later with the bowler Malcolm Nash giving a ball by ball view. Very funny

My Dad’s cousin said watch Sobers at the Moor was his favourite sporting moment.

I saw him make 140 odd at the Moor when he was pro for Littleborough. By the time he was out all the fielders apart from the wicket keeper were all around the boundary rope.
