This is what happens when Gayle actually gives a poo poo.

If he had applied himself more throughout his career he could have had the most amazing record. It's still pretty good though.

Gayle needs one more 6 to bust the record for that, as well.

Gayle, in ODI's since 2013, has scored one fifty, one hundred, and one double. The rest of the time he's barely broken 40.

I've had him all along, was my power player for the first two games, sadly I chickened out today

Also they're about 60 short of where they should be if Samuels wasn't lollygagging for most of his innings.

Those Samuels balls spread around Russell, Simmons, Sammy, even Ramdin or Holder and this'd be a world record.

auzdark: Aug 29, 2005; Mercy is the cry of the soul that stirred,
Mercy is the cry and it's never heard.

West Indies has the best track record of bringing home the bacon to choke in new records against low tier nations

Also just looked up Brian Lara scoring 501 not out in a county game... Holy poo poo!

This tournament is not long enough
England could do with another month or so to finalise their batting line-up. Pakistan could do with an extra six to eight months to sharpen up their fielding.
