Gayle to the fore as the Windies win game 3 of the T20I series. @MN5 will be happy.

Sure am. Probably the most exciting cricket player who’s ever cricketed.

Gavin Larsen doesn't do it for you?

No one will EVER do it like the D O Double G.

@dice or the universe boss!

Just watching this now.
Gayle basically got bored. After a burst just after coming in he went quiet/had no strike then Pooran started trying to hit out.
He simply did a “hold my rum”

[Crucial]

Aus set a decent target in the fourth but after 8 overs Windies have the run rate down to 8 with only 1 wicket gone.
Simmons just got his 50.
As I typed Gayle went for a big swipe and caught on the boundary for 1.

[Crucial]

Windies lost their way a little then two wickets in one over have put them on the back foot.
Not judging the big hits as well this game

[Crucial]

Finding range now. Might still make it

[Crucial]

24 runs off this penultimate over and one wicket.
11 required off the last

wow..Australia butchering a seemingly in the bag result..

[bayimports]

lucky for them Starc doesnt want to give up even when Meredith did

[Crucial]

What a weird over.
Oz finally get a win.
Poor batting at the end. Just needed to step to the offside and those full rockets would have gone for four wides.

[bayimports]

Massive last over from Starc with 5 consecutive dot balls...

Good bowling but the dots don’t tell they story. Russell refused to run.

What a catch by Allen to get Finch.

On the run, diving one hander in the outfield.

The Windies are very good T20 side. Plenty of bowling options and a deep batting lineup.

Gayle darting in his whatever you call them deliveries, right at then legs/feet of the Aussie batsmen, aren’t easy to hit.

A comprehensive series win.

Something I found on FB and worth posting…..I really enjoy listening to him commentate and he knows and loves the game. Incredibly strong batting line up and spinners as expected but is that really the best bunch of pacemen India can muster ? ( by comparison the Black Caps have four guys playing currently who average is better than Kapil Devs 29.64 who in turn averages less than Khan and Srinath )

I like our All Time XIs chances against that side. Between Bond, Hadlee and Jamieson their top 5 and Dev are bunnies.

Historically our pace bowlers absolutely shit on theirs……the flipside of that is they have a top five all in KW’s league or thereabouts. You could argue Dhoni is better than Watling and of course Kumble and Ashwin are better than Dan the man…..but again…..an all time XI with two pace bowlers averaging over 30 ? Simon Doull and Dion Nash averaged better than that and those two are NO chance of a NZ equivalent.
