"England’s target owed to a wonderful innings from Shimron Hetmyer, who reached his century in a thrilling denouement. With two balls left of the innings, Hetmyer was on 98. He backed away with his feet to make room and crunched the ball straight past Stokes for four. In his jubilation at sealing a remarkable century, Hetmyer ran virtually to short midwicket. Such celebrations may soon become familiar for, such is the audacity and originality of his talent, Hetmyer has it within himself to be the next prince of Caribbean batting. This was his fourth one-day international century in only his 22nd game."
West Indies hit back to level ODI series as Sheldon Cottrell claims five-wicket haul in enthralling contest
"It had been Chris Gayle’s hit it or block it tactics that were the feature of the first game here won by England when they completed a record chase with the minimum of fuss.
But this was a proper display of modern white-ball batting from the 23-year-old Guyanese Hetmyer who made an unbeaten 104 in West Indies 289 for six to register his fourth one-day international century in only his 22nd game ..."

Shannon Gabriel: victim of thought and speech policing
Gabriel twist
Was this the real reason Root needed to have Garbiel banned?
"Do you like boys?"
"Anything's better than having to bat against you!"

"A Caribbean perspective on the West Indies 2-1 Test series victory over England, why it happened and what they need to do to capitalise on this success..."AFRO wrote:1. Who is beating India IN India these days? They've always been home bullies.
2. Bangladesh have been improving a lot recently at home and we were missing some key players in that series.
This is a DIFFERENT team now and we're hopeful that this group can push things FORWARD now. Anyway, weh MASSA MIKE, him boyfrield GIRLS and POOgley deh? Dem only turn up when we lose now? Why so SILENT?
Seismic shift for West Indies cricket or another false dawn?

"Gayle does everything to extremes. Even when he does not make runs it has a greater impact than other players who do not make them. Unusually for such an extraordinary player, Gayle still plays innings that are doubly self-harming for his team. Failure is wired into batting but a Gayle failure can also involve squandering a large number of his team’s total deliveries. Somehow, all this just adds to the intrigue of watching Gayle bat: he can even make scoring slowly oddly captivating ..."

The West Indies made a good fight of trying to chase down this mammoth target, eventually all out for 389, thanks mainly to old man Gayle, who hammered 162 from 97 balls. Unfortunately, the younger batsmen couldn't match him, and we fell short. It makes you wonder what will happen to our ODI batting when the Universe Boss hangs up his gloves.
