Herschelle Herman Gibbs (born 23 February 1974 in Cape Town, South Africa) is a South African cricketer, more specifically a batsman. Gibbs was schooled at St Joseph's Marist College and then Diocesan College in Rondebosch. Gibbs was a gifted sportman at school playing provincial rugby, cricket and soccer and featuring in SA Schools teams for all three sports. At backward point, he is considered by some to be the next Jonty Rhodes in his ability to hit the stumps, with a report prepared by Cricinfo in late 2005 showing that since the 1999 Cricket World Cup, he had effected the eighth highest number of run-outs in ODI cricket of any fieldsman, with the tenth highest success rate.[1] Gibbs is said to rarely practice in the nets before a match. It is said he prefers to play on instinct in this case. He became the first player to hit six sixes in one over in One Day International cricket, doing so against the Netherlands in the 2007 Cricket World Cup. On 8 June 2007 he got married in St Kitts to Tenielle Povey,[2] but divorced soon afterwards. est Centuries Herschelle Gibbs's Test Centuries Runs Match Against City/Country Venue Year [1] 211* 13 New Zealand Christchurch, New Zealand AMI Stadium 1999 [2] 120 14 New Zealand Wellington, New Zealand Basin Reserve 1999 [3] 147 29 Zimbabwe Harare, Zimbabwe Harare Sports Club 2001 [4] 107 31 India Bloemfontein, South Africa Goodyear Park 2001 [5] 196 32 India Port Elizabeth, South Africa Sahara Oval St George's 2001 [6] 104 38 Australia Durban, South Africa Sahara Stadium Kingsmead 2002 [7] 114 40 Bangladesh Potchefstroom, South Africa Sedgars Park 2003 [8] 228 43 Pakistan Cape Town, South Africa Sahara Park Newlands 2003 [9] 179 46 England Birmingham, England Edgbaston 2003 [10] 183 50 England London, England The Oval 2003 [11] 142 54 West Indies Durban, South Africa Sahara Stadium Kingsmead 2003 [12] 142 55 West Indies Cape Town, South Africa Sahara Park Newlands 2004 [13] 192 56 West Indies Centurion, South Africa SuperSport Park 2004 [14] 161 63 England Johannesburg, South Africa New Wanderers Stadium 2005 [edit]One Day International Centuries Herschelle Gibbs's One Day International Centuries Runs Match Against City/Country Venue Year [1] 125 20 West Indies Port Elizabeth, South Africa Sahara Oval St George's 1999 [2] 101 35 Australia Leeds, England Headingley Stadium 1999 [3] 111 47 India Kochi, India Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Kochi 2000 [4] 104 65 West Indies St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda Antigua Recreation Ground 2001 [5] 107 68 West Indies Bridgetown, Barbados Kensington Oval 2001 [6] 125 71 Zimbabwe Bulawayo, Zimbabwe Queens Sports Club 2001 [7] 114 97 Pakistan Tangier, Morocco National Cricket Stadium 2002 [8] 116 103 Kenya Colombo, Sri Lanka R.
