To the Point – Herschelle Gibbs

There’s something about Herschelle Gibbs – a certain quality that has endeared him to South Africa and worldwide cricket fans. Despite the frustrating on-field inconsistencies of this towering talent, and the messy and very public off-field personal troubles that have tracked him through the years, Gibbs remains one of South African cricket’s best-loved sons.

In his own, very frank, words, Herschelle Gibbs chronicles the ups and downs of his personal and professional life, and describes what it’s been like to be part of the Proteas for the past fourteen years, through the controversies of its various captains, coaches and administrators.

To The Point is of course, a spicy story of excess – women, alcohol, money and plenty of runs – but it also reveals a warm and generous man who wears his heart on his sleeve.
