Former Glamorgan all-rounder Malcolm Nash, who was particularly known as a highly skillful manipulator of medium-pace seam bowling, died at the age of 74 on July 31.

It is being reportedly said that the former Glamorgan paceman had collapsed while attending a dinner at Lord’s in London on Tuesday night, and since then he was hospitalized, eventually taking his last breath in a city hospital on Wednesday.

Nash famously known for being hit for six sixes in an over by West Indies great Garry Sobers, but his fans were not happy that the domestic great just known for the same, saying he deserves better.

The bowler played 17 First-Class seasons from 1966 to 1983, taking 993 wickets – 991 of them for Glamorgan – at an average of 25.87 in 336 matches. He also scored 7129 runs in 469 innings with two centuries and 25 half-centuries.

Meanwhile, the Glamorgan club mourned over the demise of the left-arm seamer, who also played 271 List A matches between 1967 and 1985, wherein he picked up 324 wickets at 21.27.

Hugh Morris, Chief executive of the club, told the club’s website: “Malcolm was a true Glamorgan legend whose exploits have gone down in club folklore. His name is connected with that of Garry Sobers… but he was a fantastic cricketer who was an integral part of the club’s history and the side that lifted the County Championship in 1969.”

Noteworthy, Nash was hit by Sobers for six sixes in a six-ball over in 1968; and later for five sixes and a four, by Frank Hayes of Lancashire.

He himself hit four consecutive sixes off Dennis Breakwell of Somerset. He also set a club record of nine sixes in a championship innings against Gloucestershire at Swansea in 1973.
