Rest in peace, Sir Garry. There will never, ever be another like you.
It is with a incredibly heavy heart that I hear the news of the passing of the greatest of them all, Sir Garfield Sobers. For anyone who loves this beautiful game, Sir Garry wasn’t just a cricketer; he was the ultimate standard of what a cricketer could be.
When we talk about all-rounders today, we often look at players who can balance two disciplines. But Sir Garry? He was a master of five. He could bat like a dream, bowl fast-medium with the new ball, switch seamlessly to orthodox left-arm spin, bowl wrist spin, and field like a panther at short leg or in the slips. To watch him walk onto a cricket field, with that loose, rhythmic Caribbean stride, collars turned up, was to watch absolute majesty in motion. He played the game with a sublime joy and a fierce, competitive dignity that defined an entire era.
I remember the sheer awe he inspired whenever India played the West Indies. You couldn't take your eyes off him. Even when he was taking the game away from you, you couldn't help but marvel at the genius of the man. His 365 not out stood as a mountain for decades, and those six sixes in an over became the stuff of folklore. Yet, off the field, he was always an absolute gentleman—warm, incredibly generous with his knowledge, and fiercely proud of the game's finest traditions.
Cricket has lost its brightest jewel today. The stands are a little quieter, and the game is poorer without him. My deepest condolences go out to his family, his friends, and to every cricket lover across the Caribbean and the world who is mourning this incomparable loss.
@MARCUS907935 In 50 overs u have chance to ay a bit slow unlike 20 .. different methods but yes they definitely played better plus bowling mass improvement with Bumrah too.
@chan_shek@SaffronChargers Not at all .. if hes got a chance to meet Yuvi why not . He knows his schedule well been training pretty hard and has never Shirke hard work.Playing 1500 balls a day is what has made him come here at such a young age.
Hmmm.... Why too young rules permit it when hes accompanied by an 18 or above person. As he is over the age of 5, Vaibhav must have bought his own standard, full-priced ticket or Grounds Pass. There are no youth or child discounts available.Permitted on All Courts: Since he is 15, he is fully permitted to sit in any of the major Show Courts (such as Centre Court or Court No. 1).
Whats wrong with Wimbledon when Vaibhav is not even in ODI ..meeting greats like Yuvi bolstering his confidence is much needed that such unjustified remarks. Failure to launch him in Ireland was a huge mistake coupled by dropping him from the team despite his personal scores being better than most in his 3 matches played.
@sportified25 Then he should have given same leeway to Vaibhav who though miscued the shots his intent was right and scored more runs in hisn3 matches than most.
