Garfield Sobers' six sixes in an over, Glam. v Notts.,...

May 21, 2012 - The cameras were the from BBC Wales who regularly covered Glamorgan home matches at this time. Therefore, Grandstand was able to relay the broadcast because of BBC Wales live coverage. I was 15 at the time and was one of the fortunate members of the crowd that day along with my father.

Mar 31, 2012 - The commentator says "been done before" at one point. Not in first-class cricket. In response to those making comments about the bowler, Malcolm Nash, bear in mind that slow left arm was not Nash's usual style; he was usually a left-arm seamer. He was bowling spin at this time I think partly because of the match situation. This doesn't take away from Sobers' achievement but I do think it's not quite as embarrassing for the bowler as Yuvraj's six sixes against Broad in 2007 were, for instance

Mar 8, 2012 - I remember hearing a memorable quote from Nash, a while after the event when asked to comment on Sober's extraordinary achievement, he said "Aye, but he couldn't have done it without me." Well why not take some credit for it.

Sep 25, 2011 - Sep 1,1968 — Sobers Rewrites Records Poor Malcolm Nash. The Glamorgan slow-left armer took 993 wickets in First Class cricket, 324 more in limited overs games. But al dat every1 remembers him for is dis one over wen d great Garry Sobers (playing for Nottinghamshire) hit him for 6 sixes, d 1st such occurrence in recognised forms of cricket. Speaking of d over in 2008, Nash said of d half-tracker he bowled on d sixth ball: "It was the first ball I bowled all day that deserved to be hit for six."

Jul 14, 2011 - As I understand it from reading about this, it was just very fortunate for people like us that Grandstand had decided to send cameras to the match on this day.

May 31, 2011 - I think the bowler should be congratulated for his sense of fair play. He must have known that he was on course to being hit six for six but rather than bowl a no ball for the last bowl, he decided to bowl fairly. How many modern day bowlers would have done that?

Apr 25, 2011 - I'd have been so embarrassed to have bowled an over like this one ....
