Summoned from the school classroom as a 16-year-old to make his first-class debut in 1990, Herschelle Gibbs's feet moved beautifully at the crease but struggled to find the ground in real life. Admitting that a Test debut in front of 70,000 at Eden Gardens wasn't as nerve-wracking as sitting his final exams, as well as the fact that he reads little outside of magazines and comics, contributed to a reputation for simplicity. In fact, Gibbs can be a warm and generous person. His passion for one-liners and verbal jousting continues to hamper his advancement as a serious professional, and his brush with career death in the Cronje match-fixing scandal added to the impression of a man who had failed to grasp the magnitude of his impact on the nation's youth. A life-skills programme with the former Springbok rugby legend Morne du Plessis during the 2001 off-season was designed to address the matter.

 

At the crease, however, Gibbs can be invincible. There is no shot beyond his compass, while Test-match opening has not tempered his desire for explosive entertainment. The speed of his hands is hypnotic, frequently allowing him to hook off the front foot and keep out surprise lifters. His trademark is the lofted extra-cover drive, hit inside-out with the certainty of a square cut. Sporting comparisons can be odious, but in the field - at backward point - he really is the next Jonty Rhodes. Arguably his most famous innings came in a record-breaking one-day contest against Australia at Johannesburg when South Africa chased down an improbable 434 in 49.5 overs. Gibbs' contribution was a 111-ball 175 to power the hosts to a 3-2 series win in perhaps the greatest cracker of all. Having avoided touring India since 2000, Gibbs made himself available for the Champions Trophy in October 2006 and was selected in South Africa's 14-man squad. A lean trot continued into late November, but Gibbs showed glimpses of a return to form with a match-winning unbeaten 93 in a series clincher against India at home.

 

Gibbs was banned for two Tests by the ICC after being was charged under Level 3.3 of the ICC's Code of Conduct for making abusive comments about a section of the crowd during the Test series against Pakistan in early 2007. He was showing a return to somewhere near his best during the 94 at Centurion Park, which formed a rare period of bat-dominated action. His future appears to be in the middle order, unless the desperation for an opener forces him up. On March 16, 2007, during a World Cup game against Netherlands, Gibbs smashed himself into the record books. His six sixes off Dan van Bunge's fourth over was a record for international matches and he managed 342 runs, with four half-centuries, in the tournament. In 2008 he signed for Glamorgan's Twenty20 side.

Photoshop composites are usually not my strong suit, but every once in a while you get an idea you think might work... In this case, I took a photo in front of the fire, then caught some good captures of flame, and interwove them. Because it's a selfie and light was low, there are some IQ issues. There are a bunch of things I might do to improve the shot. We'll see if I decide for a second try...

 

Photo-Focus Group: Have fun tearing this one apart... There's enough wrong with it.

The first time I've used a stock image of a person, usually it's me or my friend Lisa, but I saw this and really wanted to use it. I don't have a DeviantArt account so I need to find another way of thanking this lady. The genie is my Smoky Lady, and the bokeh stuff is my own texture.

Right after the shutter closed, it immediately started to rain. Very lucky to be at the right place at the right time with the right girl :).

Not my photograph. Shot by my cousin Neil when we were out for a day on Loch Lee up at the head of Glen Esk in Angus. Which had originally been shown to me by an old pal - also Angus, a man who pulled more trout from this loch than I've seen anyone else do - knows his stuff, does Angus!

 

From memory on the day shown above we had a toughish day without a lot of trout coming aboard - too bright, too calm overall, too cold in mid May, a full decade syne.

 

I think that this may have been my last visit there with the Head Keeper Fred still in post. Sadly, I afterwards heard that Fred had passed away and so missed his retirement years. Fred was one of the best, and counted Prince Charles among his house guests on occasion - who used to show up randomly at the door asking to use the phone to summon a car to take him and his security staffman back to Balmoral, from where he'd tramped down through the glens. That's quite a stretch for a constitutional...

Dervish, my IH Asa boy, and my MNF Chloe, who stiiilll doesn't have a name lol.

 

She is a demon who was summoned by Dervish, a witch, to help him with his demonic magic. Throughout the years they have become very good friends, and Dervish even saved her from her possessive family, as she was very much the runt, and couldn't/didn't want to follow their footsteps into evilism.

 

Anyway, I think they look so sweet together.

 

I also added some teeth to 'chloe' and i think it adds to her charm. She's coming together so easily.

 

The top she's wearing is a yosd jumper from sadol lol. fits perfectly XD

 

Hope you like them! <3

When the summer dies

Severing the ties

I'm with you always, always

Will you walk the line?

My path serpentine

Remember always

That love is all you need

Tell me who you wanna be

And I will set you free

There's a darkness at the heart of my love

That runs cold, runs deep

The darkness at the heart of my love

For you

Will you spill the wine

To summon the divine?

I'm with you always, always

Now paint a pair of eyes

And let's watch as it dries

Remember always, that love is all you need

Tell me who you wanna be

And I will set you free

There's a darkness at the heart of my love

That runs cold, runs deep

The darkness at the heart of my love

So bold, so sweet

There's a darkness at the heart of my love

That runs cold, runs deep

The darkness at the heart of my love

For you

Remember always

That love is all you need

Tell me who you wanna be

And I will set you free

There's a darkness at the heart of my love

That runs cold, runs deep

The darkness at the heart of my love

So bold, so sweet

There's a darkness at the heart of my love (my love)

That runs cold (runs cold), runs deep (runs deep)

The darkness at the heart of my love (my love)

So bold (so bold), so sweet (so sweet)

And all this time you knew

That I would put you through

The darkness at the heart of my love

For you

When the summer dies

Severing the ties

I'm with you always, always

Paint a pair of eyes

Let's watch as it dries

I'm with you always, always

   

Day Three: Further. I was enjoying the view from a veranda at Rick's when a bellhop arrived and gave me a message that manager wanted to see me, in his office. I wonder why?
