When asked by SACricketmag.com when he was supposed to arrive and if he would still be going, the 51-year-old said: “Well the league starts today so I was meant to fly on Saturday … no point in going if they ghost you.”
Gibbs added that the Tigers were “happy to use your image to advertise but can’t be bothered to do the rest …”
