This man is something of an enigma. A calm demeanour even at the peak of his hitting capabilities, he represents a zen or monk like character who simply doesn't get affected by his achievements. Compare with some lesser mortals like Kevin Pollard who jump around like monkeys after hitting a couple of sixers

you should have watched his game during the 1983 WC. He is a master. He played the fastest bowlers with ease/

hello 1diot - srikanth has played against Marshall, Garner and Andy roberts. He is better than Sachin
it appears strange West Indies touring England without Gayle , Narine , Bravo , Smith , Coopers etc. great players should be shown some leniency for greater glory. there may be differnces but should be patched up gracefully without harming the game . after all the game comes first.

West Indian cricket is like Indian hockey. Both live in past glory. Both are badly affected by politics. Both are losing audience gradually.

Amit, inspite of West Indies lacking such great players they did well in the test against England. But most of our tests overseas finish on the 4th day itself with India losing.
Yes he played superb.he is a good player not easy to led from front.i remember his first tour in india he had score more than 500 runs in seven one-days. Good article

Big bash or IPL are here for entertainment,they don't give u the true calibre of a batsman.Regarding the triple 100s mentioned here in tests,one is in St.John's and other in Galle,both are famous for tall scores.
Even with Chris Gayle included, the best test batsman in WI will be Chanderpaul who has consistently scored against all opposition teams.Having said that with Gayle's inclusion it will certainly boost up WI batting.
Gayle should focus more on his national team rather than wasting time in IPL that too for RCB who is not good enough. In England, WI is losing test inspite of Chanderpaul brave show and here Gayle, Dwayne Smith are winning accolades.
