Malcolm Nash

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Malcolm Nash, (born May 9, 1945) is a Welsh cricket coach and former first class cricketer.

Born in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Nash was a left arm medium pace bowler who played largely for Glamorgan. He is best known for being the unfortunate victim of Gary Sobers' six sixes in as many balls while bowling slow left-arm^[1]. He was also hit for five sixes and a four by Lancashire batsman Frank Hayes. Despite this, he took just under 1000 first class wickets (including Sobers more than once) at a good average of just over 25 ^[2]. He also scored two hundreds with the bat, and hit four consecutive sixes himself in one over. Nash retired from cricket in 1983, later becoming a cricket coach in California. ^[3].
