Chris Gayle 215 vs Zimbabwe- WC 2015
Gayle scores 215- fastest ODI double century – 16 sixes equals ODI record
After scoring the fastest ODI double-hundred, against Zimbabwe on Tuesday, Chris Gayle admitted he had been under pressure to score runs following a lean run of form recently. Gayle’s 215, which came off 147 balls, was the fifth double-hundred in ODIs and the first in a World Cup, and his record 372-run stand with Marlon Samuels – the highest in ODIs – propelled West Indies to a formidable 372 for 2 in Canberra.
Gayle said that people had been expecting him to score a double-hundred for a while now and was happy to deliver. “There has been a lot of pressure. The runs haven’t been coming,” Gayle said. “It’s the first time in my career that so many people wanted me to score runs. The messages kept coming in – on Twitter. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen that so many people wanted me to perform. I’m glad I gave them something to cheer about. Continue reading →

Windies sweep series against Zimbabwe
MARCH 23, 2013 – ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC – Rampant West Indies were propelled by another five-wicket haul from off-spinner Shane Shillingford as they routed Zimbabwe by an innings and 65 runs here yesterday, to complete an emphatic clean sweep of the two-Test series.
Shillingford captured five for 34 to send Zimbabwe crashing to 141 all out, half-hour before tea on the third day, surrendering meekly in the second Test at Windsor Park.
Classy opener Vusi Sibanda resisted with a polished 35 while Graeme Cremer and Malcolm Waller both got 20, but no other batsman showed enough mettle to stand up to the Windies attack.
Part-time off-spinner Marlon Samuels weighed in with three for 35 to follow up a similar first innings effort, and finish the series with ten wickets following his four-wicket haul in the first Test at Bridgetown last week.
Shillingford, meanwhile, snared ten for 93 in the game to take Man-of-the-Match honours and finished with 19 wickets in the series to nail the Man-of-the-Series award. Continue reading →

Flair. Calypso. Frontrunners. Millionaires. Gold chains. Chris Gayle. No, no, no, no, no and no. West Indies’ first World Twenty20 win was more digging in, refusing to give up, running and fielding like their life depended on this match, stunning the home crowd, and pulling off one of the most amazing turnarounds in Twenty20 history, especially given the stage. Flair came from one the most eye-pleasing batsmen going around.
There’s no need to add “one of the” here, because Marlon Samuels played simply the best Twenty20 international innings ever seen when West Indies were down and the count had reached about eight. A feedbacker to Cricinfo’s ball-by-ball commentary asked if Samuels’ 78 was the 281 of Twenty20 cricket. Continue reading →
