ST JOHN’S, Antigua – (CMC) – The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has congratulated Chris Gayle, following his amazing double-hundred that propelled West Indies to their second victory in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.
Gayle was in record-breaking mood, smashing an incredible 215 off just 147 balls with 14 fours and 16 sixes as Windies beat Zimbabwe by 73 runs under the Duckworth/Lewis Method yesterday.
He was out at the last ball of the West Indies’ innings of 372 for two from their allocation of 50 overs in the Pool B match at Manuka Oval in Canberra.
“On behalf of the directors, management and staff of the WICB and the people of the region, I want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the team for their emphatic win and Chris for his brilliant innings today,” said Chief Executive Officer of the WICB Michael Muirhead.
