Lets start with the bad. News just in is that Herschelle Gibbs will miss the first match against Sri Lanka on Tuesday. Gibbs sustaned a rib injury but is likely to recover in time for the other games.
"Herschelle suffered a minor rib and intercostal injury in the warm-up match against the West Indies at Potchefstroom on Friday," Brandon Jackson, the South African physiotherapist said.
"We will reassess his position after Tuesday's match with the aim of getting him back on the field either for the New Zealand match on Thursday or the one against England next Sunday."
Who will replace him? I'm betting on Amla.
The good news is that Team Luke is available for the ICC Champions Trophy. He has been passed as fit and will be flying over on Monday.

After scoring 38 runs off 40 balls during the recent warm-up match against West Indies, Herschelle Gibbs had to retire from the match due to an abdominal side strain.
Fuckface smiling in the background
Graeme Smith seems to be back, producing 83 from 74 deliveries, Jacques Kallis scored 89 off 90 and JP Duminy smacked 80 off only 49 balls. Mark Boucher followed in Duminy's footsteps by adding 55 from 27. SA produced 388/4 in their 50 overs after they had won the toss and opted to bat first. Spinner, Roelof van der Merwe bagged 4/34 helping SA beat the Windies with 188 runs
Yikes!

Herschelle Gibbs, already 35 years old, has no intention of retiring. This week the BBC reported that Gibbs would like to renew his deal with Glamorgan in 2010. -Could this be collateral? After what happened to Morne Morkel, Hersch could be securing his future. Good thinking!
Earlier it was revealed that the Deccan Chargers decided to leave him out of the Champions League after he decided he'd rather play for the IPL Champions rather than his domestic team, the Cape Cobras.
Gibbs told the BBC he had had preliminary discussions with Glamorgan director of cricket Matthew Maynard about his future.“I’ve spoken to Matthew and they are very keen for me to come back and I’m keen too...I’ll definitely come here as long as I possibly can if I come back next year.” said Gibbs.

The Deccan Chargers announced that Herschelle Gibbs will not be in their squad for the Champions League. Is he not good enough? How embarrassing for Gibbs who said that he favors Deccan a week ago. Maybe they just didn't want to pay the $200, 000 compensation fee? The Nashua Cape Cobras on the other hand are delighted over the news.
The squad will be captain by Graeme Smith and will now include Herschelle Gibbs and JP Duminy.
The final squad of 15 will be announced on September 7.
Squad: Graeme Smith (capt), Derek Brand, Ryan Canning, Henry Davids, Jean-Paul Duminy, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Herschelle Gibbs, Claude Henderson, Rory Kleinveldt, Charl Langeveldt, Richard Levi, Karl Nieuwoudt, Justin Ontong, Vernon Philander, Francois Plaatjies, Andrew Puttick, Gurshwin Rabie, Lenert van Wyk, Stiaan van Zyl, Monde Zondeki.

I am suffering from the worst toothache, ever. Luckily I have a lovely friend called Missy who send me this photo. You cheered me up, alright.
Just look at Makhaya stomping on Biff's foot. And yes, that is Herschelle helping him. Again! Again!

Regarding the Champions T20 League....
Herschelle Gibbs has picked the Deccan Chargers over his domestic team, the Cape Cobras. Looks like Biff & JP will be the only lonely Cobras. Not really, other key players include Langeveldt, Ontong, Zondeki & Henderson.
But there is a bright side. The Cape Cobras will be compensated. "There is a provision in the tournament participation agreement wherein a team has to be compensated $200,000 if a player doesn't represent the home side in the Champions League," Andre Odendaal, the Cape Cobras CEO, said.
The Diamond Eagles will be the other team representing South Africa, curiously Dillon du Preez plays for them as well as Bangalore. Will he make a move as well? Other Saffas who will be playing in the league are AB for The Delhi and Roelof, Boucher & Kallis for Bangalore.
In other news... CSA has cleared Wayne Parnell to play the semi & final games for Kent.
Parnell started off 2/8 with his first 2 overs against Durham. Helping Kent defend a low total during the quater-final. The two finalists qualify as England’s representatives in the Champions’ League tournament to be played in India in October. "This is great news for the club," said Graham Ford, Kent's director of cricket. "We are delighted to be able to bring Wayne back because he made such a big impact in our quarter-final win over Durham. I would like to thank Mickey Arthur, and the South Africa board, for allowing him to return. I'm sure that he will play a key role at finals day."
