On paper WI should have had a plan to set Ireland to score at a rate of 9 per over.howzdat wrote:Ireland tour of West Indies, 1st T20I: West Indies v Ireland at Kingston, Feb 19, 2014
Ahead of this game, Renaldo Metadeen sportswriter and social media manager for ESPN Caribbean, penned an article from which we can glean that Gayle hopes to find right combination with (Dwayne) Smith. Having won the toss West Indies elected to bat. With 20 minutes to go till game starts we will soon see how they combine. imho West Indies have gambled with this team selection. Game on.
I have a feeling that this one is worth a ball-by-ball following and though am feeling a bit beamish, i mean queasy, ahead of the first ball being bowled I do hope that windies intention to create lots of scoreboard pressure will be realised. Lawd Gayle hit a six fourth ball....
and with the score on 31 Smith is out. observes that the fall of the first windian wicket is an SSS affair: Smith c Sorensen b Stirling.

Chris Gayle to score a large T20 something against Ireland? Emphatically NO.
