Sir Garfield Sobers, widely regarded as one of cricket’s finest all-rounders, has died aged 89, West Indies Cricket announced on Saturday morning AEST.
Known for his aggressive top-order batting, medium pace bowling and spin ability and excellent fielding, Sobers represented the West Indies in 93 Tests in an international career that spanned 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.
