Garfield Sobers 1958 - 1968 (48 Tests)

Can you give specific dates/matches, and make it a multiple of 5 Tests, please?

(Unless people think the runs should be minimum length: i.e. the "10-Test peak" has to be an "at least 10-Test peak"... I don't object to that in principle, but it does affect it if someone else wants to pick a second run from an already picked players).
Though Line and Length still needs to be more specific, since Sobers played 53 Tests from 1 Jan 1958 to 31 Dec 1968.

 

[Line and Length]

Sorry about that. I'll take the 50 Tests between 17/1/1958 v Pakistan and 14/3/1968 v England.

Can someone pick a run from within my run? I hope not.

 

[ataraxia]

Can someone pick a run from within my run?

I'm pretty sure that that isn't allowed.
