Herschelle Gibbs offers his man-of-the-match trophy to his fans
South African batsman Herschelle Gibbs is offering his fans to win a chance of getting his man of the match trophy, that he won in a record run chase of 438 runs in 2006 against Australia.
Gibbs has made his memorabilia up for grabs and the coveted prize will be given to one of his official Twitter followers.
“Next week I’m giving away my 175 man of match medal vs. Aus in 438 game! Stay tuned for details pls...,” he ‘tweeted’ on his account.
The fifth One Day match between South Africa and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 took place in Johannesburg and was recently voted as the “greatest ODI match ever played” by an official poll conducted by the ICC.
When Gibbs was flooded with questions as to why he was giving away the prized possession, he chipped in saying he wanted the World Cup winner’s medal but he knows he won’t be getting it.
“In case u peeps ask why I giv (e) away stuff (the trophy), the only thing I wanted was a wcup (World Cup) winners’ medal and that’s not gonna (going to) happen, so I’ll give wats (what is) left,” the flamboyant batsman posted.
The 36-year-old batsman has already given his commemorative valuables to his followers after asking questions about his career and the person with the correct answer won the prize.
He gave away his cricket shirt that he wore in his last appearance for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, his sunglasses and his cap to his 20,000th follower as currently his followers count is 19,933.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gibbs-c60021, who got his central contract terminated by mutual agreement with Cricket South Africa (CSA), asked his followers that what was his highest score at primary school at the age of 12 and who was it against?
Gibbs has been in the news in recent times when he found himself in a controversy after he released his tell-all autobiography in 2010. He claimed in the book that there are “cliques” that have been formed in the current Proteas squad. He also replayed his
“sexual-escapades” during foreign tours and found himself under fire when the CSA intervened.
Gibbs, who has played 248 One Day matches and 90 Test matches stated on his Twitter account that he has been giving away his stuff for the past twenty years and now he is left with only two Proteas shirts.
