Malcolm Nash

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

Glamorgan Cricketer

Born in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Nash was a left arm medium pace bowler who played largely for Glamorgan.

Famous Victim of Gary Sobers Six Sixes

Nash is best known for being the unfortunate victim of Garry Sobers' six sixes in as many balls on 31 August 1968 while bowling slow left-arm.^[1] The ball was sold by Christie's the auctioneers for £26,400 in November 2006^[2] (even though there is some doubt as to whether it was actually the ball concerned). He was also hit for five sixes and a four by Lancashire batsman Frank Hayes.^[3]

First-class Career

Despite this, he took just under 1000 first-class wickets (including Sobers more than once) at a good average of just over 25.^[4] He also scored two hundreds with the bat, and hit four consecutive sixes himself in one over.

Coaching Career in USA

Nash retired from cricket in 1983, later becoming a cricket coach in California.^[5] Nash has since moved to Kansas.
