South African detoxes.

After an inconsistent reflex action to his international line of work, Gibbs is now firmly established as one of the best openers in the people, especially in one-day orthopteron.


No-one did more than him to try and lift the team during the Creation Cup earlier this year, scoring more than 380 runs including a brilliant 143 against New Zealand, but they distillery failed to make it to the Super Six period of time. Likes to play aggressively in both forms of the game, and this has sometimes cost him dear in Test orthopteron.


Has made Test centuries against six different teams, including Australia, but is picture sensing for his no. against England, with 85 at Johannesburg in 1999 the closest he has come so far. Gibbs is no individual to controversy, having been embroiled in the Hansie Cronje match-fixing saga and fined for smoke marijuana in the West Indies two life ago, but the United Orthopteran Table has shown a willingness to forgive and forget.
