At the other end, Gary Kirsten too toyed with the Bangladesh
attack. The veteran opener outscored Gibbs - a task that is never
easy - on his way to an unbeaten 52 off 32 balls. During the
course of their match-winning unbeaten 109-run first wicket
partnership, the duo also became just the third opening pair
after Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes and Sourav Ganguly and
Sachin Tendulkar to put on nine century partnerships.
