Product Description
Few sights have stirred the hearts of cricketlovers the world over like the springing walk of Sobers going out to bat. More often than not something extraordinary was about to happen. Here is a collection of his unforgettable matches, recapturing the atmosphere through the eyes of Sir Gary Sobers himself.
Sobers the Bayland boy, playing for Barbados Police; Sobers the bowler, demoloshing England in twenty overs for the rest of the worlds lords; Sobers the professional, playing in the Sheffield Shield and the Lancashire Leagues; Sobers the county cricketer for the Notts and skipper of the West Indies, the man on whose shoulders a match would so often turn. But most of all, here is a record of Sobers the batsman-glorious,classy,pantherlike-and the golden innings that have brought tears to grown men's eyes. His chanceless 365 not out against Pakistan in the Kingston Test, 1958; his defiant 226 against England in Barbados,1960; his six sixes in an over for Notts at Swansea in 1968, plundering the bowling of Glamorgan's Malcolm Nash.
