A stylish right-hand batsman who is particularly strong of the front foot, Gerry Liebenberg's career started spectacularly when he hammered 84 and 108 in his first two games for Griquas, and his early promise continued when he moved to Free State in 1990. By the time of his selection on the 1994 tour of England he was considered one of the most promising prospects, even though he didn't play in any of the Tests and had a poor tour. In 1995-96 he made headlines with his first double-hundred, but his form fluctuated and he had to wait until 1997-98 before making his Test debut. He did enough to be picked for his second tour of England in 1998 but again struggled in the four Tests he played, scoring 59 runs in six innings. The feeling was that he was out of his depth and he was dropped and had never been picked since. Liebenberg is a talented allround sportsman and has represented his state at athletics and tennis.
