Fair play Chris Gayle

[Tongo]

We often deride modern sportsmen / women for being out of touch with supporters and behaving like tools, so I thought i'd share this story about cricketer Chris Gayle who is playing for Somerset at the moment:

Good to see a sportsman enjoying himself without behaving badly etc.

Gayle is a great bloke, and a superb cricketer. Easily the best T20 player in the world. He has an absolutely ridiculous T20 record. 15 T20 hundreds, almost 8000 runs, an average of 43 and a strike rate of 148, they're dream numbers for a T20 batsman. The guy is amazing.

he gave it some long handle against Kent on Sunday - 151 in 62 balls and still lost after hitting 92 in 59 balls on Friday!
