Cape Town If you are a true cricket lover, that historic match in Johannesburg 14 years ago will surely remain in your memory. The racing tide has come in modern cricket. But almost a decade and a half ago, South Africa’s highest victory in one-day cricket remains intact in today’s era of T20 cricket. Graeme Smith, AB de Villiers’ leap from the dressing room after Australia’s 435-race victory that day is still fresh in the minds of cricket fans.
Herschel Gibbs led the Proteas in front of the bat that day. Gibbs’ innings of 165 out of 111 balls with 21 fours and 6 sixes are still one of the best innings in ODI cricket. The kangaroos hit first and scored 164 of 105 balls by Ricky Ponting, Mike Hussey, Simon Katich and Adam Gilchrist. But in response, Gibbs, the Dakabuko Proteas hitter, poured a kind of ash on Australian rice that day.
He kept it as one of the most valuable memories of his career. Gibbs is auctioning off the historic bat that hit 175 with Corona’s help. The former star hitter shared with fans the decision to auction the signed bat on Twitter on Friday. Shortly after Gibbs’ tweet, then-coach Mickey Arthur greeted Gibbs. He writes: ‘Great work horse. Is beautiful “.
Gibbs’ former teammate AB de Villiers decided to auction a jersey bat for a special game played at the IPL this week with the help of Corona. AB de Villiers has jointly decided to auction off some collected memories of the memorable match against Gujarat Lions at 2018 IPL with Virat Kohli in Corona. In that match, the Virat-D’Villiers association of 229 of 96 balls remains the highest performing association in the IPL.
