Herschelle Gibbs hits six sixes in an over in 2007

South Africa opener Herschelle Gibbs made history when he became the first batsman to hit six sixes in a single over in one-day internationals, as he slayed a hapless Daan van Bunge of the Netherlands in a group match.

Confusion reigns supreme at Edgbaston in 1999
