1936
Born this day, Garry Sobers, one of Wisden's Five Cricketers of the Century, was just 21 years old when he converted his maiden Test century into a gigantic 365 not out against Pakistan in Kingston in 1957-58, which remained the Test record for 36 years, until Brian Lara came along. Sobers won the 1966 series in England almost single-handed, scoring three centuries - all in excess of 160 - and a 94, as well as taking 20 wickets with his left-arm bowling, which would flit between seam and spin as befitted the situation.

Left Hander
He cannot be counted among the top left handers I guess but he could be a tough batsman indeed when the going got rough: he was hard to dislodge when he gritted down!
I liked this guy as a cricketer
"Wasim Hasan Raja (Punjabi, Urdu: وسیم حسن راجہ) (3 July 1952 – 23 August 2006) was a British Pakistani schoolteacher, match referee, cricket coach and cricketer who played in 57 Tests and 54 ODIs for the Pakistani national cricket team from 1973 to 1985.
His younger brother, Rameez Raja, also represented Pakistan in Tests and ODIs, becoming captain of the national side. Another brother, Zaeem Raja, also played first-class cricket, as did his father, Saleem Akhtar.''

A definite consideration for the greatest...South African at that! Very strong average after 23 tests.

Graeme Smith another South African must also be mentioned
