Malcolm Nash
Abergavenny Cricket Clubs First County Cricketer
Malcolm Nash was born and bred n Abergavenny and the Abergavenny Club
takes great pride in staging this match in aid of his Benefit. Mr Ted Nash,
Malcolms father is the popular and enthusiastic President of the Club and his
brother Colin played for Abergavenny with distinction for many years before
leaving the ares toplay for Hornsey in North London. In contrast to most of
the Welshmen on the Glamorgan staff, Malcolm did not develop n the
Glamorgan coaching nursery joining them directly from club cricket with
Abergavenny in 1966.
As a youngster, Malcolm and his elder brother Colin were coached by the
great Somerset batsman Harold Gimblett (pictured below)

Harold Gimblett 1914-1978

Harold Gimblett was a cricketer who played for Somerset and England. He
was known for his fast scoring as an opening batsman
They were also coached by Bill Andrews who in turn with Harold Gimblett
were club professionals with Ebbw Vale Cricket Club.

Bill Andrews 1908-1989

In school, at Wells Cathedral School another Somerset player, Ala
Whitehead, now a first-class umpire, was responsible for his coaching.

However much of his progress was made under the watchful eyes of Lewis
White club coach and Captain of Abergavenny, aided of course, by brother
Colin
Malcolm played his first math for Abergavenny aged ten (10) In 1955, buts
first stamped his mark in 1959 at the age of fifteen (15), being called upon
when the first X1 were one short on a visit to their great friends and rivals,
Panteg CC, one of the strongest sides in the area. This proved to be a
sensational debut, as Malcolm saved Abergavenny from disaster with a
superb innings of (61). Rom that day Abergavenny knew that they had a
player o considerable potential and both Malcolm and his brother Colin
were to make vast contributions to the success of Abergavenny Cricket
Club in the following six (6) seasons.

15 year old Malcolm Nash scored only (14) runs but announced his potential
with the style in which he played. This tousled haired batsman wrote the
Chronicle has extreme promise
However, although undoubtedly a genuine all-rounder from the start of his
playing days, it was principally as a batsman that Malcolm made his
reputation I cricket at club level. His powerful stroke play brought him many a
century for the club and he frequently bowled hi side to victory both with seam
and spin. His best bowling bowling performance was, without question,
against Lydney on Whitson Bank Holiday Monday in 1965 when he took all
ten (10) Lydney wickets for 29. It was this outstanding season n 1965, when
he completed the double of 100 wickets and 1,000 runs, which brought
Malcolm to the notice of several counties, including of course Glamorgan. He
was offered a trial and, grasping the opportunity with both hands, he became
a contracted Glamorgan player in 1967.

Malcolm Nash Career

1968
Born in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Nash was a left-arm medium-pace
bowler and useful lower-order left-handed batsman who played for
Glamorgan. He made his debut for the county in 1966 and retired after the
1983 season. He captained the county in 1980 and 1981.
He played Minor Counties cricket for Shropshire in 1984 and 1985
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. The ball was
sold by Christie's the auctioneers for 26,400 in November 2006 (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.
Nash normally bowled medium-fast, but at the time, impressed by the success
Derek Underwood was enjoying, he was experimenting with spin bowling. [4]
He later commented, "Sobers came along and quickly ended my slow-bowling
career. It was a pretty short experiment."

Paul Sussex

Malcolm Nash Career

Despite the Sobers episode, Nash took just under 1000 first-class wickets
(including Sobers more than once) at a good average of just over 25.. He took
7 for 15 to dismiss Somerset for 40 in 1968.
He also scored two hundreds with the bat, and hit four consecutive sixes
himself in one over. His other century came in 1978 against Leicestershire,
when he came in at 78 for 7 and made 124, including five sixes, one of which
brought up his century
His best bowling was 6 for 29 against Worcestershire in the John Player
League in 1975, when he took the last 5 wickets for 2 runs, including the hattrick. Nevertheless, Worcestershire won by 48 runs.
For verification of the first statement, consult Wisden. For the second, just
speak to Malcolm Nash. Forty years after being hit for six sixes in an over by
Garry Sobers, Nash is still asked about the six balls he bowled that day at the
St Helen's Ground in Swansea.
Even moving to California has not stopped the questions and queries. They
come thicker and faster than one of Sobers' mighty pulls. "I reckon I get asked
about it if not once a week then at least once a month," Nash said yesterday,
the anniversary of the feat. "It is never, ever far away or out of the limelight.
"I was just part of history and there was nothing I could do. It was just one
over in my life. Would I take it back? Never. I just wish I got paid for it. It would
have made me rich."
Sobers and Nash may sound like a country and western duo but they are
partners in cricket history. Forever stitched together thanks to six balls Nash
bowled for Glamorgan against Nottinghamshire in the county championship.
"It feels like it was two days ago, because it is talked about over and over
again," he said. So, one more time Malcolm. Talk us through that over. "I was
bowling orthodox slow left- arm spin, which I didn't do all that often. I was just
trying to get him out, simple as that. There was no point in bowling wide to
him, because then I wouldn't have got him out. It was the first time I had
played against Sobers in a first-class match, and I wanted his wicket.
"I had him 'caught' off the fifth ball, but the only really bad ball I bowled was
the last one. I tried to bowl a medium-paced seamer up in the blockhole. But I
didn't change my run-up and that was a real mistake. It was a half-tracker and
he whacked it out of the ground. It was the first ball I bowled all day that
deserved to be hit for six."
Luck was not with Nash that day. Sobers was caught off the fifth ball by Roger
Davis at long-off but the fielder fell over the boundary line. A year earlier
Sobers would have been out, but the law was changed for the 1968 season.
Nash's humiliation was completed by the action of BBC producer John

Paul Sussex

Malcolm Nash Career

Norman, who was told by the Grandstand office to stop filming at tea.
Norman, who died this summer, kept the cameras rolling because BBC Wales
wanted to practise filming cricket. "Fifteen minutes after it was all over, the
producer, who had told us to stand down, rang back and begged me not to
spill the beans," Norman said years later.
Nash was the first to be hit for six sixes but unlike the second, Indian Tilak
Raj, he recovered and enjoyed a successful career. Now he is relocating from
Kansas to California after nearly a decade promoting the game in the United
States a feat harder than bowling to Sobers. "I have got out of it now," he
said. "If you hit your head against a brick wall every day, it starts to hurt a bit.
A few years ago we had 100,000 kids over here being introduced to cricket.
How many play now? About 50."
It may be a paltry number, but you can bet each and every one of them knows
who was the first bowler to be hit for six sixes in an over.

There are many stories that do the rounds on those six sixes, Dickie Bird has
a version in his 1999 Book White Coat and Bails, St Helens Swansea, is a
lovely ground, it is also the ground where Gary Sobers famously hit his record
breaking six sixes in an over off Glamorgan fast bowler Malcolm Nash. Even
to this day people still talk about that onslaught, and Nash has become almost
as legendary as Sobers himself. I have a feeling that after Sobers had
clobbered him for four of those sixes, Malcolm was secretly hoping his last
two would suffer the same fate, because his name would then go in the record
books along with the brilliant West Indian allrounder-the best I have ever
seen. That feeling is confirmed when I see Malcolm. Hell say, Dickie, theyll
never forget, will they? Im in the history books. Whenever people from this
part of the world meet to chat about cricket, that is one occasion they will
always talk about. Its made me famous

This feat was almost repeated on the same ground off the same bowler as
Frank Hayes of Lancashire clouted 5 sixes , but the 2 nd ball of the over had
gone for 4.
Swansea in 1968 proved a popular venue for Malcolm. In July against
Somerset, who led by 133 on first innings He recorded figues of 13.3 overs 7
maidens 7wickets for 15 runs, were tumbled out for 40. Glamorgan going on
to win by 9 wickets.
It was also on this ground in 1968 when Glamorgan won the Fifth Test
against Australia winning by 79 runs. Writing in the Guardian John Arlott said
Nash produced the best ball of the day for Inverarity; it swung into him and,
as he made to force it through the on side field, it moved back of the seam
and hit the top of the off stump. There is no answer to that
It was on 31 August 1968, a 23-year-old bowler from Abergavenny entered
the cricket record books in an unfortunate way. As the Championship
contenders, Nottinghamshire, sought quick runs against Glamorgan at
Swansea, Gary Sobers decided to go for broke - as Malcolm Nash will never
forget.
Nash's mixture of seam and spin had already brought him four wickets, but he
could do nothing to deny Sobers a place in sporting history as the first
batsman to hit a six off each delivery of an over in a first-class match.
'Apart from the last ball, a flat seamer that was too short, it wasn't a bad over,
really,' Nash said. 'But he was the greatest man who has ever played the
game and he showed why. I was a bit shell-shocked. But it did me no harm. If
people remember me for that day, that's fine.'
Nash went on to enjoy a successful career. The following season Glamorgan
won the Championship and when Nash retired, in 1983, it was with 993 firstclass wickets.

Glamorgan have always fallen short of the high standard of fast and medium
seam bowling. If that is a generalisation it is only fair quickly to point out that
the medium pace of Malcolm Nash, particularly with the new ball, is always
something to watch and in recent seasons he has had more success than
most in removing opening batsmen in the first few overs
He went on to say that Malcolm Nash is as good a new ball bowler as one will find in one day
cricket (J.Laker,One Day Cricket. Batsford)

August 29, 1977. Two days ahead of the eighth anniversary of the day Garry
Sobers hit him for six sixes in an over, Malcolm Nash of Glamorgan got
pummelled yet again. Arunabha Sengupta remembers the day when
Lancashires Frank Hayes struck him for 34 runs in another unfortunate over.

Here were two men, their careers brutally stamped and sealed by West
Indians.
Make no mistake. Malcolm Nash was an extremely successful bowler by
county standards, the very best for Glamorgan in his day. He ended his
career with 993 wickets at 25.87 the scalps mostly earned with his left-arm
medium fast bowling. He also scored over 7,000 runs with two hundreds. Yet,
he is remembered for the eternal stigma of having been hit for six sixes in an
over by the great Garry Sobers.
And on the other hand, Frank Hayes was a stylish, elegant Lancashire
batsman who played nine Tests for England. He scored a hundred on debut
too prompting British author Jilly Cooper to exclaim, I wouldnt mind

making Hayes while the sun shines. Unfortunately, the threatening clouds
were not that far away, and all the nine matches were played against a
supremely strong West Indian side. After getting 122 runs in his first Test, he
scored exactly the same number of runs in his remaining eight, at 8.13 with
six blobs. When Viv Richards caught him off Andy Roberts for a dazed duck
at Headingley, his Test career was over.
When these two men met at Swansea in late August 1977, both were
seasoned campaigners Hayes was enjoying his best ever season, as he piled
up 1152 runs at 50.08. He seemed to have forgotten the nightmarish
sequence of 0, 18, 7 and 0 against the West Indies the previous summer. It
was also an excellent year with the ball for Nash, who captured 81 wickets at
24.32. The humiliation of 1968 looked like a forgotten blot way back in the
past.
Yet, when Lancashire travelled to Swansea to take on Glamorgan at the same
site of the earlier massacre by the great West Indian all-rounder, the painful
memories came rushing back.
There was an even exchange of blows early on at St Helens. The hosts were
bowled out for 217 thanks to some accurate off-breaks from Jack Simmons. In
response, Barry Wood flourished and Lancashire progressed to 130 for one at
the end of the first day. However, when the sides played each other in the
John Players League on Sunday, it was Gwyn Richards of Glamorgan who
bowled his side to a 51 run win with five wickets. Neither Nash nor Hayes had
a particularly memorable outing.
On Monday, the county match resumed and Hayes walked in with the score
on 155 for two. Crossing 1,000 runs for the county championship when on 12,
Hayes batted fluently and along with Wood he took the score past the
Glamorgan total. Nash came on for a new spell with Lancashire looking for
quick runs. And Hayes launched into the bowling.
Standing capless, the wind sending ripples across his blonde hair, the
audacious green Mohican dangling from his ear, Hayes rocked on to the
backfoot and swung hard. And he kept swinging, after a momentary pause to
drive the second ball along the ground. It was two days from the eighth
anniversary of the Sobers assault and now Hayes hit Nash for 6,4,6,6,6,6.
Thirty-four in an over.
Nash, who had kept his line and length impeccable throughout the innings,
now went into the lonely outfield with 71 runs conceded from 15 overs, almost
half of them hurtling through in one. And Hayes, having completed his
hundred, tried to swing Alan Wilkins into the stands and was bowled.

What followed

Paul Sussex

Abergavenny C.C.

Malcolm Nash Career

Lancashire declared soon after Hayes was out, and Glamorgan

finished the second day at 105 for three. However, with rain pelting
down on the final day, the match ended in a draw.

As far as that years county championship was concerned, both sides

fared dismally. Glamorgan tied for the 14th spot with Surrey. And
Lancashire followed at number 16, just one place ahead of
Nottinghamshire at the bottom of the table.

After being heartlessly mauled on two separate occasions, Nash did

achieve a semblance of retribution next year. At Taunton he struck the
Somerset left-arm spinner Dennis Breakwell for four sixes in an over
while making 55 against an attack that included Joel Garner and Ian
Botham.

Hayes played First-Class cricket till 1984. He did manage to hit six
sixes in an over, albeit in a club game. Playing for Oakham against
Penwortham in 1980, he revelled through the night and went out the
next morning to hit Steve Cross hard, high and huge for six of the best
in an over. The captain of Penwortham happened to be Walter Cross,
the father of the unfortunate bowler. When the battered boy asked his
dad to take him off, his father responded, Take you off, son? The
crowd are f****** loving it.

In 1999 in his book White Cap and Bails Dickie Bird recalled a story that
occurred in 1978 Malcolms Benefit Season. He wrote There was another sorry tale of someone being hit by the ball, though
thankfully not me this time, when Glamorgan visited Chesterfield in 1978.
Glamorgan batsman Malcolm Nash received a long hop and hit the ball, off
the full blade of the bat , straight at Phil Russell, who was crouched down at
short leg. The ball lodged in Russells protective helmet, and there was blood
all over the place, as well as the odd bit of bone was nasty the poor lads
cheekbone was shattered. There was, of course, a great deal of immediate
anxiety about the state of Russells health, but once he had recovered
sufficiently to be taken to hospital, we umpires had to decide whether it was a
catch or not Later A dead ball was called and the laws were changed

Today he lives in Vancouver, where he promotes golf and cricket events. He

still plays club cricket but nowadays meets Sobers on the golf course. 'Our
business interests bring us together probably twice a year. We don't always
talk about the six sixes, but rarely a day goes by without someone mentioning
it.'

Malcolm Nash will always be remembered as the bowler struck by Sir Garfield
Sobers for six sixes in an over during the match with Nottinghamshire at
Swansea in 1968. What is often forgotten however, is that Nash was not
bowling in his usual style, but was experimenting instead with slow left-arm as
the visitors were approaching a declaration.
Nash was a lively left-arm seam bowler who during the 1970`s was one of the
best new ball bowlers in county cricket. Indeed, he was rated by the legendary
Barry Richards, the legendary Springbok batsman, as one of the most difficult
bowlers with the new ball he faced whilst playing county cricket with

Hampshire. Nash owed his success as a left arm seamer to the knack of
being able to move the ball both ways. Visiting batsmen were therefore
unsure whether the ball would swing in or out, and Nash invariably dismissed
several top order batsmen once the shine was on the ball.
He was also a highly effective and economical bowler in limited over games,
and Nash frequently delivered his allocation of eight overs in the Sunday
League straight through with a minimal cost. Indeed, Nash still holds the
record for the most economical spell for the Welsh county, returning figures of
8-4-8-1 and 8-4-8-2 against Lancashire in 1973 and 1980.
Besides his bowling, Nash was a swashbuckling tail end batsman, capable of
producing an explosive innings. Indeed, in 1976 he scored a century before
lunch off just 61 balls against Surrey at The Oval, whilst in 1976 he became
Glamorgan`s first centurion in the Benson and Hedges competition, with 103
against Hampshire at Swansea.
Nash led Glamorgan in 1980 and 1981, before retiring at the end of the 1983
season with a total of 993 wickets to his name in all first-class cricket.
