Chris Gayle equals fastest ever T20 fifty

For those that didn't get a chance to see this live, here is Chris Gayle's record-tying innings against the Strikers. His fifty came off just 12 balls, equaling Yuvraj Singh's record. What a knock, and so glad I got to see this one live.

I watched it live as you did Dilly ... and it was amazing !!! 8)

GAYLE IS LOOKING SVELTE, FIT AND FRESH AT 35.  IT LOOKS LIKE HE CAN GO ANOTHER 20 YEARS ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

As you keenly observed in the Big Bash League thread, Gayle did this without his gold bat. It was also great to see the outpouring of love as he left the field, and the throngs of children all lining up waiting for an autograph. I believe at one point I even saw Gayle give his Renegades cap to one lucky fan in the audience.

Gimme 12 long hops/full tosses and I'll hit 50 too!  ::love:: Not a single good length ball or yorker.  :Bash
seems to be full of Sunday afternoon club bowlers.  ::dead::

The Time difference does NOT allow a good look in !  :-[

It's also good to see Gayle hitting the headlines for the right reasons aswell this time. I know that I for one would rather hear about his exploits such as this ON the pitch, rather than what he days or does off it.

                         

Whom interview him after that Record ?? 

Mel refused to Blush ??  :-\
