365 Days Cricket - Sir Gary Sobers

365 Days Cricket - Gary Sobers

Garfield St Auburn Sobers or simply Gary Sobers has become the only man to have a justifiable case to be deemed a better cricketer than Donald Bradman. He was a little bit of cricketing freak, because he could do almost everything. He could bowl fast. He could swing the ball and he could bowl both kinds of spin. Also, he was, without doubt, the best left handed batsman to have ever played cricket. In test matches he scored over 8,000 runs and took 235 wickets. However the raw statistics don't do full justice to how great a cricketer Gary Sobers was. Being a batsman he was able to laying waste the bowling.

One of his most well-known exploits was to hit six sixes in a single over delivered by Glamorgan bowler Malcolm Nash in 1968. Gary Sobers was also an extremely clever captain of the West Indies and a top class fielder. To put it briefly, he'd everything and stands out as a genius.
