Twenty Years Ago Today

[Cooperman]

The greatest ever game of short form cricket?
Twenty years seems crazy! I remember it like it was yesterday, we hadn’t long come back from holiday in South Africa, there was sleet and snow outside and I barely moved from the sofa all day. It later came out that Herschelle Gibbs has been out on the lash the night before.

It was certainly a revolutionary game and it was astonishing watching it at the time. But the greatest ever limited overs international was the 2019 World Cup final.

That’s another one where I didn’t move from the sofa.

I see your Herschelle Gibbs, and raise you Sir Vivian Richards 138 off 157 balls v England at Lords in 1979.

Gibbs was 175 from 111, incredible scoring. That Viv innings was before my time, I’ll go back and see if there are YouTube highlights of it.
