Hi Gils, me 'spam posts' ??? What does it mean to spam a post?
I meant no disrespect to you or anyone. I saw the mention of 'king' added to which the mention of royal, laziness and trough-dwellers and as it also happened to be on the day that HRH Prince Philip announced his retirement from official duties, I thought i'd tie the whole lot together in my crazy light-hearted way.
Apologies if it fell wide of the mark and offended in anyway - I have deleted the post.
Given that I regard myself as a good natured but often misunderstood fellow - including being confounded by yours truly - I remain carefree regarding the perceived spam remaining on this topic for all of posterity just as that HRH Prince Philip fella will forever be part of English folklore.
Regards

Thats fine Howzdat, your apology is accepted, and I'm sorry to have inconvenienced you.
Regarding CHG's unexpected reinstatement to BWI cricket, and the inclusion of 4 other yardies, we can legitimately conclude the crime bosses intention is to engage BWI fans on a superficial level. Or do I sense a more viseral contempt from the establishment for T20
His career is coming to and end, what are they trying to acheive, one last send off
Before he go's, the number of 10% fees they've accumulated throughout his T20 career would have covered the cost of up to date equipment for the ground staff at Sabina Park, with monies to spare.
The JCA have been robbed of their rightful dues ! Chupes.

In consideration of the above result this "Chris Gayle, living it large, scoring nothing ... again." topic extends unreserved congratulations to the West Indies on their nine wicket victory, the manner of which could be termed a 'romp' bringing to mind that Stanford one-off match versus England.India in West Indies T20I Match
West Indies v India
West Indies won by 9 wickets (with 9 balls remaining)
T20I no. 617 | 2017 season
Played at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica
09 July 2017 (20-over match)
Talking of $$$$$, I read some cricinfo personage opine that an IPL franchise ought to be getting in there quick and snapping up Mr. Lewis for the next edition! Which leaves me wondering is who is the mercenary pon who! Ah well, nice wuk if you can get it but is back to the match.
By the way allyuh notice the modern tendency to lavish ridiculous amounts of hype on barely noteworthy accomplishments on the cricket field. In my reckoning this is a product of the jacka$$ age that we living in nowadays and for days to come! The tendency to World Record this or that feat .... and the making into a 'statistic' any old mundane bit of action in a cricket match! And then there is the small matter of monikers like Universe Boss .... utterly meaningless!
However, to humour the masses I will end this post by highlighting that of the batters who faced 10 balls or more Chris Gayle's score of 18 was the lowest! Yes folks, Chrs Gayle came dead last in that contest! Added to which his strike rate of 90 was last but one to Dhoni's 66.66. Cue pantomime Boooooooooooooossssssssssss!
Chris Gayle, living it large, recalled to Windies T20 lineup, scored dead-last & last but one, however the tale of the pic reveals that his star scored brightly amidst a bevy of beauties.

Talking of getting grooves back on. Don't worry Googs, Chris will soon be padding up for St. Christopher Island in the CPL and am sure the hope is that his groove will so on that his performances will drum-up plenty of dem tourist kitty's so they run come see the cricket.
