Gayle unleashes to destroy England
The match in a tweet: Chris Gayle blows England away with a 48-ball century as he smashes 11 sixes, sets new world records and sends the World T20 into meltdown The hero: Make what you will of his off-field exploits but there is simply no denying that Chris Gayle is an irresistible force and a captivating spectacle when batting. On his way to scoring an unbeaten 100 and condemning England to a six-wicket defeat, Gayle became the leading six-hitter in T20 international cricket. It seemed incredible he didn't already hold the record. At the start of his innings he was four sixes behind Brendon McCullum's record, by the end of it he was seven ahead. He also became the first man to score two World T20 hundreds. And to make it all the better, he called it before the match started!
