Former West Indies all-rounder Garry Sobers passed away at his home in Barbados. Garry Sobers, widely regarded as one of cricket’s greatest all-rounders, has died at the age of 89, West Indies Cricket announced on Friday.Known for his aggressive top-order batting, the ability to bowl medium fast and spin, and excellent fielding, Sobers represented West Indies in 93 Tests in an international career spanning two decades, from 1954 to 1974.He scored 26 centuries, and his knock of 365 not out against Pakistan in 1958 was the highest individual score in a test innings until Brian Lara broke his record in 1994. Sobers was born with two extra fingers – one on each hand. He removed them himself as a boy, using catgut and a sharp knife.Sobers would go on to become the most complete cricketer to play the game. A graceful and destructive left-handed batsman, a left-arm bowler equally skilled at delivering pace and spin, and a brilliant fielder in any position, Sobers was named one of the five leading cricketers of the 20th century by the sport’s Wisden Almanack.He came second only to prolific Australian batsman Don Bradman, who himself said of the player in 1988: “I’ve got no hesitation at all in saying that Garry Sobers is the greatest all-round cricketer I ever saw.”Reflecting on his achievements, Sobers often played down the importance of his natural talent. “People call me a genius. I don’t know much about geniuses,” he said late in his life.”But I do believe that what I achieved was not just because of the ability that I was born with but also because I worked hard.”Sobers amassed over 7,041 first-class runs for Nottinghamshire in the County Championship, including 18 centuries, and took 281 wickets.“Nottinghamshire are extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Sir Garfield Sobers, at the age of 89,” a statement from the club read.
