Herschelle's back on top as opening batsman
By Tarryn Le Chat
Herschelle
Gibbs will return to his favourite position of opening batsman and take the role of first slip during the Proteas tour of Sri Lanka. However, Gibbs does hope that he will be allowed to play his normal postion-backward point- in the one day internationals. National coach, Mickey Arthur, made the announcement yesterday, as AB de Villiers will field at second slip due to the absence of Graeme Smith and Jaque Kallis. Smith and Kallis both have corrected injuries and are re-cooperating, while Shaun Pollock will miss the first test, due to the birth of his second child. New captain, Ashwell Prince, says the absence of some team stars could also work in South Africa’s favour.
