CRICKET - Gary Sobers is 76 years old today. set the highest score for a Test match innings in the 1950s, and 10 years later became the first player ever to hit six sixes from a first class over. The greatest allrounder ever to play the game, Gary Sobers was equally adept at all aspects of his cricket. He was an elegant batsman, a versatile bowler, a peerless close catcher and a brilliant fielder wherever he happened to be placed on the field.
