van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Violence! Gibbs charged down the track and hoicked it over long on. |
| 29.2 |
van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Murder! Floated on the leg and middle stump line and Gibbs sends it soaring over long-off. |
| 29.3 |
van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Carnage! Flatter one this time but it makes no difference to Gibbs. He just stands there and delivers. This one also has been sucked over long off |
| 29.4 |
van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Wah Wah! Low full toss and guess where this went Yep. A slap slog and it went over deep midwicket! He is going to go for 6 sixes in this over! |
| 29.5 |
van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Short in length, on the off stump line and Gibbs rocks back and swat-pulls it over wide long off. SImply amazing. What a batsman. This is pure violence! |
| 29.6 |
van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, He has done it! One-day record. No one has hit six sixes in a row. GIbbs stands alone in that zone. And the minnow bashing continues! Full and outside off and bludgeoned over deep midwicket |
353 from 40 overs.. makes you wonder where they would have ended if this had been a 50 over game!
Gibbs got out shortly after his record breaking effort, but Boucher and Kallis made a ridiculous 139 from the last 10 overs (175 from the last 11 if you include the over mentioned above). If this had indeed been a full length match, who knows, Ian Chappell’s prediction might very well have come true!
AB de Villiers.. go kick yourself!!

Years of dreaming.. Months of practice.. Weeks of planning.. and it doesn’t even last a few minutes!
A look at two of today’s World Cup debuts that ended within the first two balls..
| 0.1 |
Stelling to de Villiers, no run, Billy Stelling switches on the right channel. Just outside off, short of driveable length, hint of away movement and left alone |
| 0.2 |
Stelling to de Villiers, OUT, Gotcha! Stelling nails de Villiers. Short in length, well outside off and de Villiers couldn’t resist a flash. All he got was a under edge which was safely pouched by the ‘keeper. |

AB de Villiers c  Smits b Stelling 0 (2b 0×4 0×6) SR: 0.00 |
| 0.1 |
Franklin to Joyce, 1 no ball, a no-ball to start with, fullish and dug out into the covers |
| 0.1 |
Franklin to Joyce, OUT, (almost) perfect start for new Zealand. A soft dismissal, short outside off stump, almost a long hop, which Joyce swishes at and gets a thin but audible top edge to and McCullum flings the ball high. An easy catch and a real sucker punch |
