Bravo gone. Still need the other fella.

4 down but Gayle looks in the mood.

[backfootpunch]

our seamers are just awful

so many wides down the leg side and three or four boundaries just tickled down to fine leg

we have gifted them 20-25 runs so far

[Aidan11]

I see Gayle now has most 6s in T20i.

WI batters can only lose it from here, our bowling attack can't effect this game very much.

I guess a couple of decent efforts in the field somewhere would help.

[backfootpunch]

make that 6 fours from balls tickled down the leg side

this score could have easily been defended if we bowled well

[backfootpunch]

game over

well played chris gayle

nothing you can do as a bowler, especially a spinner, when gayle does this

if he gets half a bat on it its out the ground

[budgetmeansbudget]

This will be over with plenty of balls to spare. Will do our NRR no good at all.

Looking at Chris Gayle's scoring chart, the core of his runs have effectively scored down straight or leg side but nothing square of off-side.

he has a simple method

if you bowl a good length ball he blocks it
if you bowl full he hits you for six down the ground
if you bowl chest high he pulls you for six

I bet WI have never lost a game in which Gayle has been not out, or even batted 75% of the overs.

i cant imagine they have lost many games when he has batted more than 30 balls

and the thing is you just cant play for this happening, if we knew gayle was going to do this we would have had to make 230

[Arthur Crabtree]

Miserly stuff from CJ.

I'm sure hebgot a big hundred recently in a losing cause, but that may have been domestic cricket.

Is Hussain really any less banal than Danny Morrison? Maybe I'll get the tv people to ask the captains.
