Herschelle Gibbs' 175 - The Greatest ODI innings of all time

Herschelle Gibbs’ smashed a memroble 175 against Australia in Johannesburg in 2006. That innings was the highlight of a record breaking match which was hailed as the best ODI game to have ever been played by many erudite observers. Gibbs gave it his all in that game as he belted the Australian bowlers all around the Bull Ring. Despite his initial burst, it was speculated that South Africa would fall short and his effort would be futile. Gibbs went a step further and pulled off something quite special. Not many had anticipated where this innings came from, and had to pinch themselves over what they had witnessed at the ground or on their television sets.

With the series square at two all, Australia won the toss in the fifth ODI and elected to bat first. The Australians compiled a massive 434 in fifty overs which was the highest score in ODI cricket prior to South Africa’s reply. South Africa was up against it and everyone wrote them off. In walked Herschelle Gibbs and the script changed so dramatically that no one expected a Grey Hound to win the London Derby. Gibbs did just that and did it with some style.

It seemed as if the script was written in the heavens and Gibbs unleashed the greatest ODI innings ever played,  but in truth Gibb’s 175 stands out as one of the very top, if not the best ODI innings of all time.

Good luck with the bidding and all questions welcome.
