Herschelle Gibbs showed that, just when a situation seems impossible, belief and commitment can turn it around.
A positive aspect of the coronavirus crisis is that well-known South Africans are trying to help those in distress. The latest of these is Proteas cricket legend Herschelle Gibbs, who has put up for charity auction the bat he used to help his team win the famous 438 match against Australia. It’s one of the most outstanding – and valuable – pieces of South African sporting memorabilia – other than the ball Joel Stransky kicked to win the 1995 Rugby World Cup – and should fetch a sizeable sum.
The latest of these is Proteas cricket legend Herschelle Gibbs, who has put up for charity auction the bat he used to help his team win the famous 438 match against Australia. The fact that Gibbs is willing to put it up for a good cause – rather than hold on to it and reminisce later, in his twilight years about past glories – shows that in spite of the flawed personality he may have shown at times, his heart is in the right place.
