Heard an interesting story on the radio the other day regarding Steve Waugh's infamous "You've just dropped the World Cup home" quip to Herschelle Gibbs.
Apparently Wippa (the local RJ here) had an Australian mate called Keith or KR as he is known. KR was holidaying in South Africa and ended up meeting and starting up a convo with none other than Herschelle Gibbs in a pub in Capetown. They shared a few beers and had a bit of yarn til Keith had the nerve to ask Gibbs "How does it feel to drop the World Cup?" .
Gibbs was enraged at this guy's audacity and proceeded to belt the crap out of him. It got serious real quick and the security staff apparently had to literally kick Gibbs out.
Anywho, about 4 years later this Keith fella is in another pub in South Africa when guess who Gibbs rolled in. Gibbs is so scarred by the previous incident that he recalls him instantaneously and tells him "I can't believe you are still here". Apparently they both made up afterwards and exchanged pleasantries but still an interesting story of how easily one sledge can completely destroy a player.
Anyone else heard this story or something similar?
