Garfield Sobers "six sixes" bat hits Melbourne auction scene
West Indian Sir Garfield Sobers will always be remembered as one of the greatest – if not the greatest – cricketing allrounders of all time.
His extraordinary feat of hitting six sixes in one six-ball over for English county Nottinghamshire against Glamorgan on August 31, 1968 – the first batsmen ever to do so – from the bowling of hapless young Malcolm Nash is still talked about today and can even be found on YouTube.
So hard did Sobers hit the last of these sixes that it flew out of the ground and was not found until the next day.
