Malcolm Nash, the former Glamorgan bowler who marked his name in a negative notion in the cricket folklore when Sir Garfield Sobers hit him (Nash) for six sixes in an over, has died at the age of 74.
Nash was rushed to the hospital after he collapsed during a sports dinner in London on Tuesday night and passed away.
The Abergavenny-born all-rounder had 993 first-class wickets in his bag during a 17-year long career between 1966 and 1983; he also scored 7,129 runs and took 148 catches.
He was also the Welsh side's leading wicket-taker with 71 when they won the County Championship in 1969.
In the County Championship match between Glamorgan and Nottinghamshire at Swansea in 1968, Sobers, as the very first batsman in the history of first class cricket, went for six straight sixes in a Malcolm Nash over.
The match was being broadcast around the cricket world, becoming one of the most iconic moments in world sport.
The ball that Sobers struck was then sold at auction for £26,400 in November 2006.
