I remember as a teen being in Barbados when West Indies were playing England (Aug 1973) and of course every single Bajan was locked on to a transistor radio... my parents took us to tour some place or another and the workers were all glued to the radio...

Sobers took a catch, my brother(s) and I never forgot a Bajan guy saying : "Garry again!" he took four catches in that match and made 150 retired not out. He bowled a total of 12 (sparingly) overs for 37 runs but no wickets, Windies won by an innings and 226 runs. Those were the days!

Whenever Sobers did anything after that, we always used to say "Garry again" (with a Bajan accent). His career ended soon after that.
