Lovely knock @henrygayle. It's no test double v Bangladesh but well batted nonetheless. #WIvZIM #CWC15

G Kirsten advising Proteas at World Cup. Chris Gayle destroys Kirsten's WC record 3 days before Proteas play WI. Lucky I'm not superstitious

Chris Gayle is an IPL Boss, has two Test triple centuries & an ODI double. Love him or hate him he's a legend of the game. #CWC15 #WIvZim

However, Gayle was deemed lucky to not be given out before he had scored with a Zimbabwe review for lbw showing the ball clipping the top of middle, but Gayle being reprieved on ‘umpires call’

REVIEW for LBW against Gayle. He was given NOT OUT. It's not looking good. #WIvZIM #CWC15 #RallyHard
