Sir Gary Sobers honours Stock Cricket Club with a visit
Sir Gary Sobers joined colts, parents and members for the evening at the club house on Wednesday 2nd June 2010, to explain about his International Colts tournament held in Barbados during July of each year. Next year will be the 25th Anniversary and it is hoped we will be able to send a team over to help him celebrate.
He delighted his audience with reminiscences of players who have been through his tournament (including of course Brian Lara), and explained the differences between English and Barbadian wickets, both of which have been witness to his unparalleled skills. He finished with fascinating stories of his record innings of 365 (which was his 1st Test Century) and of course his six sixes in one over.
He signed everything anyone gave him to sign, and stayed to chat to everyone long after his aide de camp had suggested they should leave. A great evening, and a wonderful experience to hear from possibly the greatest all-rounder of all time.
