Such a dismissal could have happened earlier - during Wally Hammond's then-record 336* at Auckland in 1933, NZ's teenage legspinner Doug Freeman pointed out to England captain Bob Wyatt that he was leaving the crease before Freeman had bowled. Wyatt kept doing it, but Freeman refrained from running him out for fear of the row which would have ensued had he done so.
1592 runs @ 46.82 in 22 Tests.
He was also the man who left the non-striker's crease before the ball was bowled, and Vinoo Mankad ran him out - the first occurrence of such a dismissal in Test cricket.

.@collinsadam told us that Hey Jude and Sobers' six sixes came about on consecutive days :)
Malcolm Nash took a sad song and did make it better: he maintained he was as much a part of history as Sobers!
@Grahame_Lloyd knows all about Sobers-Nash
Found this gem in his TCM article

“It’s a good memory,” Sobers says, “But I never felt sorry for Malcolm, and he wouldn’t have wanted me to.”

After the third six by Sobers in 1968 at Swansea, the opposition's wicketkeeper said to him jokingly: I bet you can't hit the next three for six!
Challenge accepted.

Sobers' 365
When he was on 361, the Pak captain called on Hanif Mohd. to bowl his off spin nothings
And Hanif proceeded to bowl with his wrong hand!

This about Sobers' fifth six blows my mind every single time.

It's Les Favell's birth anniversary today. He was the South Aus skipper when they won the Sheffield Shield in '63-64.
They had a home match vs the visiting South Africans that year. Sobers was their star player. 🧵
