Thank you very much. Truth is I've never been away, I've just been a voyeur for a while and thought I'd sit back and watch you lot arguing amongst yourselves instead of getting involved myself for a change, haha.

Any thoughts on Chris Gayle's contract not being renewed by the Melbourne Renegades?

Any thought's on what size shirt you want me to buy you with his name on the back seeing as I showed you that you can...or could buy one from the club shop! haha.
Anyway, if he wants to come to England we'll have him at Lancahire. I'll show him around the bars and restauraunts of Manchester no worries. Bet he's a top laugh on a night out

Good to see you still ignoring a well reasoned argument that was fully backed up with stats, with similar sentiments expressed by David Saker and the Renegades in determining that Gayle's numbers weren't worth his contract, and that an overseas seam bowler would be a better fit for their lineup. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.
The Renegades shirts are out of stock. Even when they were in stock, I don't believe you could buy a Chris Gayle shirt with the number 333 - his shirt number - on the back. They only allow you to customise a shirt with a maximum of 2 numbers.
Gayle already played in this years NatWest T20 Blast for Somerset, before flying off to play for the Tallawahs in the CPL. Just as he did last year.

So even though I posted the image in the previous thread that proved that you could customise your shirt with the name and number of Gayle on there you're still calling me a liar? I give up.
I'm not going back over old ground anyway, but what I will say is that just because I don't automatically agree with everything you say, doesn't automatically mean that you are right and I am wrong like you seem to think.

How can I not have been proved right when my main point was that Chris Gayle's performance in domestic T20 competitions over the last 12-months wasn't worth the contract that the Renegades were paying him? I provided a multitude of stats as indisputable evidence. I also opined that the Renegades would be better served with an overseas bowler, as their bowling was their main weakness last year.
David Saker, head coach of the Renegades, stated this very fact in the interview I linked to above. As always, I provided facts and evidence, while you just dismissed them out of hand without providing any evidence or facts in return. FWIW, I went back and took the time to calculate Gayle's numbers over the last year in all domestic T20 competitions. He averages 33 - 10 runs below his career T20 career average of 43. He has had back-to-back poor performances in the IPL. These days he is very much an all or nothing batsman - he is either out very early in his innings (43% of all his innings he has been dismissed for single-figures) or he goes on to make a massive score.
And as to the point re the shirts, you can not order a shirt with his shirt number 333 on the back - they only allow to customise the shirt with a maximum of 2 numbers.
Also, interesting that once again, you chose to gloss over the fact that Gayle couldn't play for Lancashire in the T20 Blast this year as he was under contract to Somerset. Those pesky facts getting in the way again
