The cricketing fraternity has been thrown into mourning following the death of Barbados’ National Hero, Sir Garry Sobers on Friday.
Sir Garry passed away at the age of 89 at his home in Highgate Gardens, 11 days shy of his birthday.
Considered as the greatest all-rounder in this sport’s history, his son Daniel Sobers, who was at his father’s side at the time of his death, said he had been ailing for some time.
‘His breathing had increased and we had him on oxygen. I couldn’t believe how powerful he is; he just refused to go.
