[edit] Career
Born in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Nash was a left arm medium pace bowler who played largely for Glamorgan.
[edit] 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]
[edit] First-class Career
Despite the Sobers episode , 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.
[edit] Coaching Career in USA
Nash retired from cricket in 1983, later becoming a cricket coach in California.[5] Nash has since moved to Kansas.
