Here's footage of the man hitting six sixes in one over against Glamorgan bowler Malcolm Nash in 1968. (If you're not in UK there's a Youtube clip here.)

There have been lows too, such as Bob Woolmer's passing. Pakistan and Scotland are already out, and Andrew Flintoff (so the newspapers say) "got into difficulties" after falling off a pedalo. More than a mere peccadillo really. What's he playing at? England fans have had enough. We don't deserve to win this tournament - teams that display some fight do, like Bermuda, who have players like Dwayne Leverock (pictured) fast becoming legends. He took a truly excellent diving catch yesterday. And Ireland who beat Pakistan deserve high praise - high praise indeed... but not England.

Though Garfield Sobers has achieved it before, Gibbs is the first to ever do it in a world cup, and it qualifies him for the Johnny Walker Six Sixes challenge, which means he gets to donate a million dollars to charity!
