West Indies Cricket Fans

I see a man at the ground with a sign that read something like, "For the next game push Gayle down the batting order".

I agree 120% so my sign reading "For the next game mek Gayle can bat @ #12". If he still fail, drop him.

With regards to Gayle's position in the order I note that the selectors have done well to ignore me (as well they should) however I do note that in a little nod to my imaginary placard they give themselves 7 places to play with for the next game

Is it do or die for Gayle in these next two games? I wonder if he is sweating over the toss in the hope that he gets a chance to bat ? We never know, if Chris Fayle (as i hear some referring to him as) today Devon Smith might be partnering Charles in the next game also.

I note also that with 5879 views this topic is just a thousand or so off Mr. Gayle's Test aggregate score Thanks allyuh really madder than me so I better put my head down, graft hard, post more garbage and hope that the trend continues so that I can reach my target

The rumour was well founded cause Smith and Charles open the innings.

Pakistan in West Indies ODI Series - 4th ODI

28.6 53.0 mph, Pakistan needed this! Gayle gives it away, tossed up on middle and off and Gayle tries to clear the rope like he did in Afridi's last over, this was hit flat to Umar Amin at long-on 120/4. CH Gayle c sub (Umar Amin) b Shahid Afridi for 30.

Chris Gayle, living it large, bats @ 5, scored 30. Windies lose

some smart chap said this before:

"In most cases where Gayle don't make runs, WI will lose"


ah who wonder who said that?

Pakistan in West Indies ODI Series - 5th ODI

35.2 Junaid Khan to Gayle, OUT, lovely one-handed catch by Akmal. Bouncer, higher than the shoulder, Gayle gets a top edge on the hook, and Akmal takes a leaping catch to his right. Gayle walks

CH Gayle c †Umar Akmal b Junaid Khan 21 (34b 2x4 1x6) SR: 61.76

Chris Gayle, living it large, bats @ 5, scored 21.

This is becoming tedious.

Pakistan tour of West Indies, 1st T20I: West Indies v Pakistan at Kingstown, Jul 27, 2013

2.5 Gayle won't be hitting into the sea tonight. Hafeez has got him. Hafeez stays full and around middle and off, Gayle plays a defensive, but the bat is either hidden behind or is playing for an offbreak. This one goes with the angle, and Gayle seems pretty plumb despite that big stride of his. CH Gayle lbw b Mohammad Hafeez 5 West Indies 13/2

Gayle, living it large, scoring 5, bat befuddled!

This is becoming tedious.

Pakistan tour of West Indies, 2nd T20I: West Indies v Pakistan at Kingstown, Jul 28, 2013

2.2 Mohammad Hafeez to Gayle, OUT, Afridi flings the ball in the air after taking a simple catch at cover! Gayle leaned forward and closed the face against the ball angling into him from round the wicket, it lobbed off the leading edge straight to the fielder. Gayle's wretched form continues, he's dismissed on 999 T20 international runs. CH Gayle c Shahid Afridi b Mohammad Hafeez 1 West Indies 2/2

Gayle, living it large, scoring 1, bat befuddleder!

Hi mike, re: the patois, given your knowledge what should it be?

As for where my money is on this one, i'm keeping mum since i nearly got the bottom cut from my trouser pockets in the IPL final. Wonder why the feeling is so strong for the Jamaica Tallawahs squad?

Sometime later on ...

Kiwi all-rounder J.Franklin comes on to bowl

4.1 Franklin to Bonner, 1 run, OUT, angled away and guided to third man, scampered for the second, Ramdin with the direct hit and Gayle goes for an early evening walk, two-in-two for Warriors

CH Gayle run out 6 (9b 1x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

Well the game not done yet but if the Jamaican pluralised Tallawah dem are gonna win it wont be because Chris Gayle's lean patch came to an astounding, match-winning end.

10.1 Cornwall to Gayle, no run, played back to the bowler

10.2 Cornwall to Gayle, OUT, wow good catch!! tossed up and Gayle drive's it upishly and Cornwall onto his left takes fine catch

Gayle will make a cameback in style. Watch out for big runs against the Zouks!
