Sir Garfield Sobers could only do everything — including for South Australian cricket
- The cricketer Sir Garfield St Aubrun "Garry" Sobers was a man who frequently found himself the subject of admiration and wonder.
- Widely recognised as the game's greatest all-rounder, Sobers — who died recently at the age of 89 — scored 8,032 runs at an average of almost 58, claimed 235 wickets and snared 109 catches in his 93 Test matches for the West Indies.
- But even by the time he was recruited by South Australia, as a 25-year-old in 1961, his talent was already indisputable.
