Re: Christopher Henry Gayle : 100th Test - allswl - 06-13-2014
I am proud of Gayle as there was a time some people wanted him out of the team and not as captain. His importance to the team is well documented and right now he needs help when batting. My only issue with him is that he needs to move his feet a lot more. Anyway 100 tests is a feat that not many batsmen get to reach.

I second you thoughts on feet movement,but his play doesn't sync with classy strokes,feet movement,elegance..etc.He is there to hit,with power.The one who creates fear in the minds of the opposition with just brute power.If he intends to change his ploy by feet movement,i bet he will be an easy prey for the opposition.
Gayle's award for the 100th test...

I dunno what yall talking about. Gayle has been mostly awful in tests.

And the biggest problem with our openers is his inability to run, which cuts down their ability to score and puts added psychological pressure on them.

Them actual runs were casual jogs, taking singles off 3s and 2s.
