Hitting all six deliveries in an over out of the park is a feat that was first accomplished in cricket at any level on August 31, 1968, when the West Indies legend Sir Garfield Sobers hit 6 sixes in an over while leading Nottinghamshire against Glamorgan in a first-class match of the English County Championship.
Nottingham were 308 for 5 when Sobers walked in to bat and the Caribbean legend moved into the 40s in no time as Malcolm Nash came on to bowl with the score reading 358 for 5. Nash, who normally bowled medium pace, was for some reason asked to bowl spin by his skipper during that match.
