Gibbs smashes 36 in an over!

Umm...Yeah. 6 sixers! Unbelievable. The Eng-NZ match had its lunch break, so I switched over to the SA-Netherlands game. Herchelle Gibbs just hit 36 runs in an over. That is just unbelievable. From Cricinfo...

29.6 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, He has done it! One-day record. No one has hit six sixes in a row. Gibbs stands alone in that zone. And the minnow bashing continues! Full and outside off and bludgeoned over long off
29.5 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Short in length, on the off stump line and Gibbs rocks back and swat-pulls it over wide long off. Simply amazing. What a batsman. This is pure violence!
29.4 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Wah Wah! Low full toss and guess where this went Yep. A slap slog and it went over deep midwicket! He is going to go for 6 sixes in this over!
29.3 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Carnage! Flatter one this time but it makes no difference to Gibbs. He just stands there and delivers. This one also has been sucked over long off
29.2 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Murder! Floated on the leg and middle stump line and Gibbs sends it soaring over long-off.
29.1 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Violence! Gibbs charged down the track and hoicked it over long on.

Phil,

Not angered at all. A bit confused about your point however.

Gibbs has always been a terrific batsman. The match fixing was just a flaw in character, not in ability...

Nice Urdu/Hindi. Who taught you that?

Thanks for the comment!
