Quote:Why do you think the timing is wrong? Gayle says what he wants and gets away with it. He spoke out for Sarwan and Shiv and now naturally for these two.
Mail ... The timing was wrong because this was T/20 and not ODI format. Timing was mostly wrong because this is a tour of SA and nothing to do with WC. Timing was wrong as this was a presentation for the T/20 win.
I guess Gayle's comment was prompted by the fact that he had only just seen the WI squad list. IMO he could've commented later .... and one has to wonder if WI had lost against this RSA 'C' team if Gayle would've said anything at all at that time

* If you have an adventurous spirit, it doesn't matter if your earth age is 40 or 80 you'll go out there an explore.
* Unfortunately, Lots of folks are constrained by TIME.
* Anyone can hop on a plane and fly over to Australia, for example, and vacation for a week or so, but not many people can take off for a month or two and really travel and explore a country or region-----like I said---they are constrained by TIME.
* But you have a point Ketchy---most people put off travelling until they are old, and by that time they don't have the health and energy to explore and adventure.
* Good advice to your kids---don't put off seeing the world.

True Rev ..... the thing is I did so much of that for over 30 years, both living and visiting (and not meaning to sound pretentious), that now I haven't got the slightest inclination to get on a plane anymore. Not that I wouldn't like to see places I've never been to .... it's just the distance is a hassle. I need to get there via 'Beam me up Scotty, beam me up' mode .... LOL

Good ole Hurricane Sammy ...LOL ....
Good on the maroon flame BUT ....it was a white hot flame that bun we up in the white test gear ....
Ah wonder what kinda flame coming for the ODI's ....
Never mind a few days, what a difference a change in format can make. From being dominated in the Tests to dominating in the T20s, West Indies have done a complete 180 degree turn thanks largely to Chris Gayle.
Although he described himself as "not 100% fit" Gayle has been 100% merciless on an inexperienced South Africa attack and answered his own call for consistency by setting up a successful chase for the second time in Johannesburg. That it was also the world-record chase only speaks to the impact he can have on a team.
