Gibbs to face the music

Proteas cricketer Herschelle Gibbs will keep his date with a city court on Friday to face a charge of drunk driving.

And this will happen while his Nashua Cape Cobras teammates face off against the Diamond Eagles in the opening round of the Supersport four-day competition in Kimberley.

Gibbs, who usually opens the batting, is not playing against the Eagles in the match which started on Thursday, but will instead appear in the magistrate's court on Friday.

Cobras coach Shukri Conrad said he would have wanted Gibbs to be available for the opening fixture against the defending Supersport champions, the Eagles, but had anticipated the court appearance.


"We are looking forward to having him back, but for now he'll just be taking things in his stride," said Conrad on Thursday morning.

Gibb was arrested in Sea Point after police allegedly noticed his luxury VW Touareg speeding down Sea Point Main Road at about 1.45am on March 27. Gibbs was reportedly driving alone.

He was held at the Sea Point police station overnight for about six hours then released on R500 bail at 7.50am.

Less than a week after he was arrested for alleged drunk driving, Gibbs was found guilty of misconduct on the field following an incident during a Pro20 match between the Dolphins and the Cobras at Newlands in March.

Gibbs has previously been embroiled in various controversies, from smoking dagga in the Caribbean in 2001 to being implicated in the Hansie Cronje match-fixing scandal.

He has also been embroiled in a bitter divorce suit with his wife, Tenielle.

Also provided the cricket world with it's biggest shame together with Cronje.

And for showing off and dropping Steve Waugh in the 99 World Cup.

That will be what he gets remembered for. Pity because he was a very talented player.

The game that he was meant to "throw" he scored a ton in. He said he could not go "through with it." Regardless of his performance in that match though, he did wrong, and was subsequently punished for that. It still "irks" me that soooooo many other players got away completely scott free though ......

Ah yes, that wonderful catch / drop with old stevie boy. I thought he had the ball under control and in the process of wanting to celebrate he botched it good and proper!!! Spilt milk now anyway!!!

I will remember him for all the above and the wonderful knock in "arguably the best one dayer ever played." So too his many fielding exploits. Oh yes and that small matter of 6 sixes in an over in the last world cup!

No he said that after hitting 2 successive fours he got so excited and forgot about the deal he had with Hansie :))

What are the odds of Gibbs appearing in court in 2008 more times than Shoaib Akhtar managing to get banned (and unbanned) since 2006?
