Gary was hungover for most of this, and not just a bit, but the real thing. He finished the first day on 35 then went out for drinks. He finished drinking at 9:00 AM the next morning then went out to bat at 11:00 and scored 150. He said that he didn't see the first five balls from Willis, and his team was laughing in the pavilion. It's hard to tell, but I think it shows in the first ball in the vid, but we don't know whether that was on the second day. The story is in espncricinfo.

@ashokatibrewal Bob Willis was an out and out fast bowler. Do your homework.

Some truly ridiculous comments on this video. Of course the bowling looks mediocre: this is a highlights reel showing Sobers hitting boundaries, so naturally poor balls are going to be overrepresented. It's absurd to claim that the bowlers (and by extension batsmen) are low-quality on that basis.
And as to the claims that the era's fast bowlers were "medium medium" pace: (1) I wasn't aware you had speed guns wired into your brains; and (2) since when has pace equated to quality bowling anyway?
-
lol, dennis lillee medium pace as well? You idiot
-
i mean look at the bowlers- they are medium medium. not even fast medium.
-
the mos overrated cicketer in my opinion. by modern standards he would be a part time bowler and a good batsman at most by modern standards.
-
He played many a great innings against great bowlers on top form.

@LiamE69 believe me I have seen Underwood and Willis bowl live, they were both good bowlers...but the general standard of the balls shown in these highlights (not just from them but the others too) was pretty poor. Sobers was at the end of his career and they were just serving them up to be hit
-
@ianwilson2007 You might not like the look of it but Underwood and Willis would walk into any test team these days. They both got around 300 wickets at around 25 runs each. Great bowlers.

Comparisons are bad between Kallis and Sobers. They played in different eras and styles, Sobers played like a millionaire and Kallis plays like a pauper. Long live Kind Sobers

Obviously, you are a younger man, to whom numbers mean everything. Kallis better than Gary Sobers! Oh dear me. I shudder the thought..Cheers.
