significant doubt on the authenticity of the ball sold – the ball sold was a Duke, while Nash stated that he had used only a Surridge ball during the over in question. In August 1977, he was also hit for five sixes and a four by Lancashire batsman Frank Hayes. Nash normally bowled medium-fast, but at the time, impressed by the success Derek Underwood was enjoying, he was experimenting with spin bowling. He later commented, "Sobers came along and quickly ended my slow-bowling career. It was a pretty short experiment." Limited-overs career In a Benson & Hedges Cup match in 1976 Nash scored 103 not out against Hampshire, hitting 7 sixes and 7 fours, and reaching his century off 61 balls, after Glamorgan had been 85 for 6 when he came in. He then took 2 for 40 off 11 overs, Glamorgan won by 3 runs, and Nash won the match award. His best bowling was 6 for 29 against Worcestershire in the John Player League in 1975, when he took the last 5 wickets for 2 runs, including the hat-trick. Nevertheless, Worcestershire won by 48 runs. Between 1966 and 1983 in his 17 years career, Nash took 993 first-class wickets, scored 7,129 runs and held 148 catches. Nash served as the captain of the county. In 1985, he played his last one-day match for Shropshire. He played Minor Counties cricket for Shropshire in 1984 and 1985. Coaching career After his playing career ended, Nash became a cricket coach in California. Nash then moved to Kansas before returning to Wales in 2013. Death Nash died on 30 July 2019 in a hospital in London at the age of 74 years. He was being treated there after he became sick at a function at Lord's Cricket Ground.
