When Sir Garry Sobers was dismissed caught and bowled by policeman cricketer Ghulam Guard for 25 in the Mumbai Test of 1958-59, he walked off telling the cop: "That was the most famous arrest you will ever make." Sobers scored a century in the next innings.u00a0

Sobers, who was never known to be an early sleeper, played for South Australia (an association which Sir Don Bradman headed) in the 1960s. In his autobiography, he writes: "I would watch the cricket for 10 or 15 minutes and then go to sleep on the massage table. He (Bradman) would come in and wake me up, saying, 'South Australia are in trouble today, son. You will have to go out there and make a hundred.' Amazingly, every time he said that to me, I did; I went out and scored 100."
