Exactly 15 years ago, on March 12, 2006, South Africa stunned the sporting world when they chased down a world record target against Australia. Herschelle Gibbs smashed 21 fours and seven sixes for 175 off 111 balls that helped South Africa to clinch the series 3-2. Gibbs later revealed in his autobiography 'To the Point: The No-Holds-Barred Autobiography' that he was hung-over after he drank a lot the night before the game.
