Sir Garfield Sobers played three seasons in the Sheffield Shield for South Australia between 1961 and 1964. His most dominant season was 1963–64, where he led South Australia to the Sheffield Shield title by topping both the national batting and bowling averages. During the title-winning 1963–64 season, Sobers amassed an incredible 973 runs at an average of 74.84, and took 42 wickets at 28.27. He first joined the South Australian state team following the West Indies' 1960–61 tour of Australia, a signing that famously caused gate receipts for the competition to immediately surge by 89 per cent.
He was the greatest all round cricketer in history for sure. And was from my village, Bayland, to boot. A superhero to everyone there in the 50s and 60s.
