Gibbs will finally face up

Herschelle Gibbs will travel to India with his lawyer, as he faces questions from Deli police regarding his part in match-fixing allegations, dating back to 2000.

To date Gibbs has avoided touring India, preferring to opt out of both South African tours in 2004 and again in 2005.

The South African High Commissioner Francis Moloi had this to say regarding the impending questioning:

“It is a matter of Delhi Police and we as government would not want to interfere a great deal in the legitimate legal process; however, we would want processes like these to have some form of finality.”

“Frankly, we can’t have this issue hanging like a sword for a long time. Speedy resolution of the issue will be most welcome so that we get on with the business of cricket which people of India love a great deal,” Moloi added.
