Herschelle Gibbs
(b. 1974)
Herschelle Gibbs
is a contemporary of
the cosmonaut on the
previous page; in fact,
they were both in Mr
Furrows’s history class
at one point – although
Mark Shuttleworth
didn’t fall asleep
(we presume). Gibbs’s
talents were, of course,
for the sports field,
never better expressed
than when he smashed
175 off 111 balls in the
PHOTOGRAPHS GALLO IMAGES
record-breaking 438
ODI against Australia
at the Wanderers, in
March 2006. In this shot,
Adam Gilchrist watches
as Gibbs strikes another
blow. For the mostcapped of Bishops’
many cricketing
internationals, it was
his most heroic innings
in a distinguished – if
sometimes controversial
– career. See p56.
