HOME > PLAYERS > Herschelle Gibbs Herschelle Gibbs Born February 23, 1974 Major Teams South Africa, Western Province Known As Herschelle Gibbs Batting Style Right Hand Bat Bowling Style Leg Break, Right Arm Medium Test Debut 1996/97 against India at Calcutta ODI Debut 1996/97 against Kenya at Nairobi (Gymk) Profile Gibbs is an opener/middle order batsman. This attacking stroke-player has the ability to play all the textbook shots (the straight drive being particularly impressive), and then some to all parts of the ground. But has in the past suffered from impatience early on in his innings. Gibbs has managed during the past season to lift his fielding to a level of excellence to the degree that he equals Jonty Rhodes in the point position in all aspects but crowd support and reputation.
