Sir Garfield Sobers or Gary Sobers as he was better known is perhaps the greatest all rounder of all time. He excelled with the bat just as much as he shined with the ball. His contribution to West Indies and cricket in whole is immense. Sobers debuted in 1954 against England as a 17 year old. That was just the beginning of his long cricketing career which lasted for 20 years and included 93 Tests and one ODI. He scored a total of 8032 runs in Tests and took 235 wickets. The highlight of his career was the innings of 365 runs against Pakistan which was the record for the highest individual Test score and remained unchallenged till 1994. He also has a number of other achievements to boast of including having hit six sixes in one over, having made 26 centuries (a world record at the time) and being adjourned one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Century. Sir Garfield Sobers retired in 1974 and was knighted in 1975. He remains one of the legends of the game and inspiration for generations to come.
