Gibbs: Aussie girls are up for it!

http://www.timeslive.co.za/sport/cricket/article735902.ece/Maidens-over-and-over

Whatever else has happened in my life, I can say one thing for sure: I have had a huge amount of fun in my cricket career. Three things have undoubtedly contributed to this: 1) I'm a friendly and outgoing guy who's comfortable in anyone's company; 2) I have the gift of the gab, which I get from my dad, and clearly women love it. My open demeanour often comes across as flirting, but that's just the way I am. I guess you could say I am charming and, as I said, chicks dig it; 3) And this is the double-edged sword - I like to drink, and alcohol has only exacerbated points 1 and 2. It has lubricated some of the best evenings of my life, but it also nearly ended my international career in 2008.As far as women are concerned, the Proteas' tour to Australia from December 1997 to January 1998 was like going shopping. From the day we set foot there, women were falling into our laps virtually every night. Australian women, I can tell you, are not afraid to speak their minds and make it crystal-clear what they're after. Especially, as we found out, if you're an international sportsman. There's none of this, "Am I reading the signals correctly here?" crap. Nope, the message is hand-delivered to you in capital letters. Most of the time we didn't have to go and look for girls They came hunting, often in packs, and if they liked what they saw, you were in for the ride of your life. Fascinating social behaviour. They should study it ... make a documentary on the Discovery channel. I'd watch it.

It certainly was one helluva trip. But that's Australian women for you. They were just always up for it. I remember a South African bowler coming back from the first World Cup this country ever played in 1992 and telling me the guys had had an absolute bladdy whale of a time with the Aussie women.

Any inside info, Red?

Just foolin'.

the inside info is in the signature

And in a startling development, Gibbs is set to sign up to play Rugby League next season with Cronulla and Canterbury fighting for his signature.

So Aussie women are easy and have low standards?

Can you vouch for this Reddikins?

Dear old Herschelle could have been a truly great batsman if his priorities weren't drinking booze, taking drugs, and shagging women.

Having said that, it didn't hold Botham back......

The vital difference between Herschelle the Housebrick and Botham is that Ian was/is only as thick as one short plank....

Bragging is such poor form. Anyway we know where the money came from to fund the lifestyle.

Gibbs also has a go at the team for their divisions, much to their chagrin.

Is that you in the pic, Red? Serious Q.

Excerpt from Herschelle's book.

Gibbs' book really is a wet dream for you, isn't it Red.

Actually Red looks like she's just stepped off the set of neighbours.

(from 1985)

Sooky's not happy.

"It is outrageous to allege that there is a culture of debauchery, because we would definitely not have been able to achieve so much success recently if we got falling-down drunk every couple of nights and partied in our hotel rooms with strange women until the early hours of the morning."

Smith also denied his former opening partner's allegations of division in the Proteas camp.

"In every team there is usually a group of senior players who take the lead, just like in a successful business," he said about the allegation that he, Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher and AB de Villiers made all the decisions.

"If Herschelle ever felt left out, it's a sign of his own insecurity. Someone like AB is far more junior than him and should never have been a threat to him."

According to Smith, despite everything, the team carried Gibbs "through the most difficult times of his life".

"We were (the only people) he could count on for support during his messy divorce and his fight against alcohol abuse, and that's why we don't understand why he has turned against us like this now."

"I have already sent him an SMS to find out why he did this. According to him, the media has blown it (out of proportion) and he would still like to stay friends," said Smith.

Have you been spamming the board there? A reasonable question given some of the sh!t you've conjured up about Smith in the past.
