Gayle blows away Dhoni from top spot

[mattfb]

Do we really need a thread for each and every cricket-related news or article?

Yes we do. Why not have a thread for every cricket-related news?

Chris Gayle is easily the best opening batsmen in the world.

Wow, I'm happy to see a NZ fan really appreciating him.

Nyet. Tendulkar is better than him in ODIs, and Sehwag in Tests.

Nyet. Tendulkar is better than him in ODIs, and Sehwag in Tests.

at this stage of their careers I would rather have Gayle than Tendulkar.

I'm sure that Howsie was talking about ODIs all together in which Gayle>>Sehwag.

Gayle > Any Opener (ODI)

But yes an Precambrian said MSD is having points only because of his not outs.:

 

[Harrypotter_fan]

Not outs don't count in the ICC ranking algorithm. Also, scoring against lesser teams earns less points. It is a really good ranking system. So Dhoni couldn't have got to the top just because of not outs, rens against minnows, etc.

 

[Bibu07]

But his average increases as not outs do. So that's the point.

Gayle is already a legend. People will forget players like KP, Sehwag, Ishant, Hayden etc etc someday. But they will never forget Gayle. They will remember him as the first man to score a hundred in International T-20 cricket. This is Gayle's biggest achievement in his career.

Are you serious? Only Twenty20 fans will do what you just said. Gayle will be forgotten long long long before KP and Hayden will be. Unless you were joking?

lol

are you serious ?

 

[Bibu07]

Future of Cricket is T20 and hard hitting not Test! So

Gayle = Legend.

Proved.

btw I don't mean KP, Haydo will be forgotten but,

Haydo, Kp = Hard hitter
Haydo = Legend
KP = Talented
but,
Gayle = Harhitter, Talented => Legend

 

[Dare]

you dont easily forget one of the best attacking batsman of all time. once he is retired he will be close to or ahead of Lara as the batsman with the most ODI runs in WI. He has a serious chance to get to the top 5 in tests too.

Gayles name will be remembered for a long time.
