As a matter of fact if you looked closer you'd notice Gayle scores 15 or less in 12(38) of his innings or 32% of the time.

Ponting 24(68) 35%
Strauss 19(50) 38%
Vettori 16(33) 48%
Sangakkara 14(48) 29%
Dhoni 13(46) 28%
Smith 12 (34) 35%
Shakib 8 (25) 32%

Only two captains (who've played much since 09) are more CONSISTENT than Gayle and thats Dhoni and Sangakkara.
How many of those "captains" are their sides main batter? and most of other captains have got world class players around them too, Gayle is just too hit and miss and it's not good enough imo, you can keep looking back in the past if you wish but i'd rather focus on the man i'm seeing TODAY, i also believe his leadership skills have to come into question aswell.

I'd say all of those captains are their sides main batters,( besides perhaps Dhoni)?

I know the opposition hasnt been too flash but Dougeh really does look a fine bowler

He's added a yard in pace, swings it both ways and is accurate - high quality stuff

Geez WI really are in a no win position here. Half their side is injured. As a result they're made to look silly by a replacement filled side and listen to the Aussie comms masturbate.

Some really nice shots by Rampaul there. Could get up to 200 if they keep playing like this.
Yeah agreed. His batting has impressed me more than his bowling during the summer tbh. Could see him batting 8-ish in the future.

Not really a big fan of his bowling but i agree Rampaul certainly knows what he's doing with the bat down the order, and he proved it in one of the recent test matches against Australia when he was 40 not out, if we could sneak this to 190 or even 200 it would be a fantastic fight back from the guys.

Just typical windies really, build a good partnership and do something stupid to give a wicket away cheaply, i mean what was the point of Pollard's shot? we'd just about calmed things down and he goes and does that, Rampaul should have just stayed at the crease after that shot too, oh well it's another lose but the Aussies are celebrating like they've won back the ashes or something :laugh: ,

in reality they've gone backwards and it doesn't help that the majority of their side are getting older and older with not many talented youngsters in the background to come in, we'll see who's laughing in the next three years, because i have full faith that our current crop of youngsters coming through won't be as shambolic as the clowns wearing the WI shirt recently.

I blame Gayle :ph34r:

That Hussey catch brings back memories of that catch Matthew Sinclair took to dismiss Hayden @ MCG Docklands 2004.
