Gayle and Trump have made a living out of fooling people like you. Am sure his plan is to return to test cricket when he's no longer a big t20 attraction, take your time Chris we are waiting for you

So Gayle doe not have team goals, he does not want to help the youngsters, does not want to assist with fostering a winning culture, does bot see how he can contribute to help the test team, instead he wants to make 400 runs big grin

Is he dumb? Stick a big hot for in this yardi. He should never play for the west indies again in any format

Gayle earn the right to call the shot when wants to play test or not....He is already a proven Star...by him scoring 400 alone will motivate the youngsters...

Well held WestDem...dat was a fantastic catch.

All a dem cricket careers going backwards...not enough time to hone their skills as they continue to globetrot.

Dat was bound to happen.

that is soo true,
use Windies Cricket to get recognised for Int'l league, when they not wanted no more use Windies cricket for a pay day to end off their careers
When Windies cricket need them to help promote the sport them no no who Windies cricket be.

Let's see, that's a real conundrum. Bhuvi would take his edge, Shami would send his stumps cartwheeling, Ash and Jadeja will have him out stumped, caught, bowled, lbw, etc etc.

Rastaman 2017-01-23 21:19:34 

gayle's pockets are pretty handsome now and he made his stamp in the quicky version. still top glory evades him in the classical format. He wants to have it both ways and who can blame him. Time is running out Crampy!

 
outside_edge 2017-01-23 22:06:29 

In reply to WestDem

So why is it that Chanderpaul don't join Gayle in this quest and perhaps combined together, they might stand a chance to break Lara record?

And if you actually believe that either of them ever was (in their entire career) or is still capable of doing so, I have a bridge to sell you that runs from Georgetown, Guyana to Kingston, Jamaica (and you might very well see pigs flying across that bridge).

 
Fivestar 2017-01-24 03:12:44

In my view Gayle has a better chance of scoring the fastest century in Test cricket than making 400.

What was his avg vs Ski Lanka before his "triple" against them ...in their own backyard??

Do you think Kohli`s record in Eng will never improve?

 
Devin 2017-01-24 09:24:43 

In reply to Cleg

Gayle scored runs against the weakest Lankan attack in the history of their cricket. Did Vaas or Murali play in that game?

 
natty_forever 2017-01-24 10:02:19 

[b]In reply to Devin[/b... however, Gayle was never seen as a great. What an overachiever he has become.

 
WestDem 2017-01-24 10:17:30 

In reply to outside_edge

How much you selling dat bridge for? You think its hard for a man dat score two triples already can't get a 400 and ride off into the sunset? BTW, this has nothing to do with Shiv...Gayle seh he wants dat 400... cool

 
Cleg 2017-01-24 10:17:49 

In reply to Devin

He played 7/103 matches at the START of his career vs Vass ..(a bowler he had problems with.)

.. and you peeps NEVER forgive him for that.As if no cricketer EVER had a problem with ANY bowler.

 
WestDem 2017-01-24 10:20:39 

In reply to Cleg

I see this thread bring you outta retirement and you start bolding again?

BTW - I hope de Don get a chance to score dat 400 but he has not played any test cricket since 2014, you think he can mek back de WI test team?

 
Rastaman 2017-01-24 10:33:37 

In reply to WestDem

"you think he can mek back de WI test team?" Memba Crampy is from Ja and senior selector Cameron is from Ja
big grin big grin big grin

Besides, which opener can't Gayle replace? just asking wink

 
Rastaman 2017-01-24 10:44:37 

BTW, if Lara (400) is Crampy's target and that is his only motive to play test cricket again then someone should give him some ego-taming pills and remind him that that approach didnt serve WI cricket well with Lara. Seen!!!

 
natty_forever 2017-01-24 11:06:42 

In reply to Rastaman... well we never lost a match that Lara scored over 250 if my memory any good.

Where did you see dat? I see 17/2 and 20/2...not sure if we are looking at the same scorecard...

.not sure if we are looking at the same scorecard.


Look again (at the fall of the 3rd wicket) and you will see they "recovered" in both innings.

 
WestDem 2017-01-24 12:57:41

Suh now to twisting de stats to show a recovery but still does not change de big bats fall to Vaas twice for noodles and put early pressure on Lara and Sarwan!

 
natty_forever 2017-01-24 15:35:37 

In reply to WestDem... over 250 in an innings ... duh!

 
Chrissy 2017-01-24 19:28:11 

Gayle has exceeded all my expectations for him as a test cricketer. Two triple hundreds cannot be scoffed at either.

Unlike di 30sinting posse, Onry earned his place with a decent regional first class average. Gayle and Sarwan are the only two good batsmen from that 2000 crop.

That said he will never break Lara's record.

You burn up so much verbiage just to say this:
