to play a single Test match for his side. His last One Day was back in February against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, which shows he has not been picked in the Proteas side that consistently. Herschelle Gibbs, who has always managed to keep himself in the news, is 36 now and certainly
retirement is just around the corner. As he remained under criticism from different corners, Cricket South Africa decided to end his contract that was applicable till April 2011. Whether this spells the end of his career, will remain to be seen.

contribution to the South African Cricket. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gibbs-c60021 is truly a gifted and explosive player, and has played some memorable knocks for his side. No one can forget his knock of 175 of 111 against Australia at the Wanderers, in which he helped the Proteas to chase
