On the left a smaller image of Gary Sobers playing a shot in front of the stumps. Below a wagon-wheel of the six sixes in an over, with a key to the right of it. Text on bottom left reads: 'On August 31, 1968, Sir Garfield Sobers made history. Playing for Nottingham against Glamorgan in St. Helen's, Swansea, Sobers hit six sixes off Malcolm Nash, the first time this remarkable feat had been accomplished in first class cricket.'
