With the release, yesterday, of Herschelle Gibbs’ tell-all autobiography, The the Point, the cricketer has – quite understandably – been at the centre of a media storm. Here we present the best of the post-release coverage, starting with a competition to WIN a copy of the book:
Next, a fresh excerpt from the book?
The Proteas were to tour the West Indies for the first time in 2001. Although the Proteas had played a few ODIs and one Test in the West Indies in 1992, this was the first full-blown South African cricket tour to the islands. You could say that it was a fairly big deal.
Shaun Pollock was the Proteas captain, and when we got to Antigua for the fourth Test, we were leading the series 1-0, with two to play. By the fourth day of the Test, it was already clear that we were going to win the match and, therefore, the series. We just needed a few wickets on the last day, and that would be it – we would have beaten the West Indies in their own backyard.
