Herschelle Herman Gibbs (born 23 February 1974 in Cape Town) is a South African cricketer, more specifically a batsman.

Gibbs, who is a Cape Coloured, was schooled at St Joseph's Marist College and then Diocesan College in Rondebosch. At backward point, he is considered by some to be the next Jonty Rhodes in his ability to hit the stumps, with a report prepared by Cricinfo in late 2005 showing that since the 1999 Cricket World Cup, he had effected the eighth highest number of run-outs in ODI cricket of any fieldsman, with the tenth highest success rate.Gibbs is said to rarely practice in the nets before a match. It is said he prefers to play on instinct in this case.

Gibbs is remembered for dropping a comparatively simple catch off Australia's Steve Waugh during the 1999 World Cup. He became the first player to hit six sixes in one over in One Day International cricket, doing so against the Netherlands in the 2007 Cricket World Cup. On 8 June 2007 he got married in S

It was the 3rd time that a batsman from Barbados has made a debut century, after Conrad Hunte and Gordon Greenidge. He however failed to make a half-century in his 9 Tests since, with his second-highest Test score of 42 coming against the bottom-ranked Bangladesh.

Against a the touring Bangladeshis in May 2004, Smith scored 103 not out off 70 balls in a game for the West Indies Board XI.

Fidel Henderson Edwards (born 6 February 1982 in Gays, St Peter, Barbados) is a West Indian cricketer and is the half brother of Pedro Collins. A pace bowler, his slingshot action greatly resembles that of former fast bowling great Jeff Thomson[citation needed]. He bowls fast, can swing the ball and get reverse swing, but insists that he doesn't go for out-and-out pace. He was spotted in the nets by Brian Lara and Edwards was called up for his Test debut against Sri Lanka after just one match for Barbados. Edwards' slingy action is similar to that of fast bowler Lasith Malinga, of Sri Lanka. For a pace bowler he is, like Malinga, unusually short.

Despite a promising start to his test career, he has been injury prone and inconsistent. With an average of just under 40 in test cricket, he has struggled to fulfill his early potential. However, improved consistency in the May/June 2007 series against England suggest he may now have adapted to the rigours of international

 was a quiet day all round in the competition, with Karnataka playing in the morning, having lost to Punjab just the previous evening. Karnataka notched up their first win, by four wickets, after winning the toss and sending Gujarat in. Parthiv Patel and Azhar Bilakhia got Gujarat off to a flyer, getting to 55 in just 5.2 overs before they lost their first wicket.

Bilakhia went on to make 62, a rare half-century in this tournament, off only 47 balls with 6 fours and a six. Patel had made 26, but there were no other scores of note in the Gujarat innings. They stitched together 151, a decent enough score, but it proved to be too few.

A week earlier he had played a first-class match for Sussex against the Marylebone Cricket Club. His nickname is Ryano.

In late 2008, he was signed to an Indian Premier League contract with the Deccan Chargers, who are coached by his former Redbacks teammate Darren Lehmann. Having been selected for the Australian Twenty-20 team in early 2009, he was directly signed as an "uncapped" player by the Deccan Chargers, at the behest of Lehmann, without having to go through the standard IPL player auction process.Harris made his international debut in a
