Revenge of the old stager

No one, though - not even the man himself - could have foreseen this week’s extraordinary events. “It was unbelievable,” Gibson said. “Something I never expected to do. I had five at lunch and said to Benky (Dale Benkenstein, the Durham captain) to just let me have three or four overs after the interval as I was quite stiff from a long spell in the morning. I somehow managed to get three more wickets and then the rain came. I was getting really tired so the Gods must have been on my side.”
