Herschelle Gibbs auctions '438 game' bat to help fight Covid-19
Former Proteas cricketer, Herschelle Gibbs is auctioning his signed bat from the so-called "438 game" to help raise funds for the fight against Covid-19.
In 2006 South Africa and Australia faced off in an epic cricket match that saw SA chasing a target of 435 to win.
The match is described by some as the greatest ODI ever and Gibbs scored 175 off 111 balls to help SA to the winning position.
