flamy Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/feb/17/chris-gayle-west-indies-the-hundred-england-jason-roy Quote A veteran of 103 Test matches and more than 300 white-ball internationals, Gayle was asked if he was satisfied with his career. “Yes. I’m the greatest player in the world. Of course. I can’t complain. T20s, ODIs, Tests … you’re looking at a great man,” came the reply. Quote As well as confirming he will retire from international one-day cricket after this year’s World Cup – “The youngsters owe it to me [to lift the trophy]” – Gayle was asked if England’s 100-ball tournament launching in 2020 appeals to him. Sure enough, one of Twenty20 cricket’s most high-profile globetrotters is keen to be involved, even if just for the inaugural season. “Well, if I don’t start it, it won’t be a tournament,” said Gayle. “I guess England should invite me over. Then I’ll explode the tournament and say: ‘Thank you guys, bring in a youngster now.’ I will set the trend for you like I did in all tournaments around the world. Fingers crossed. We’ll see what happens.” No <>s given Edited February 19, 2019 by flamy velu 1

ShoonyaSifar Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 A top class entertainer in all sense. He still has at least one great knock left in him before bowing out. One of the big teams will suffer in the WC. Which one and at what stage, no one knows.
putrevus Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 To me he is just a one dimensional player, I would not call him even great forget greatest.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk beetle 1
Temujin Khaghan Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Bigger superstar than KP and ABDV though not as talented as them.
Sachinism Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Was amazing for a few years. Over-rated otherwise, thinks too highly of himself. Doesn't deserve a place over guys who've been there for WI cricket Nikola, The Dark Horse and beetle 3
zen Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 If he were an Ind cricketer, sadistic fanboys of other cricketers could have gone after him Anyways, keep the entertainment coming Gayle!

NameGoesHere Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 He's full on entertainment. He's Caribbean, big unit, sometimes speaks of himself in third person, declares himself the greatest every now and then, and sometimes can even pull off exciting knocks. He's not in my team, so no heartburn either. Saala aur kya mangta? And here we have L**dbati Rayadu. flamy 1
beetle Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 conceited, vain, narcissistic, egotistical, egocentric, (an) egomaniac, self-centered, self-absorbed... and sometimes entertaining with the bat. MCcricket, flamy, The Dark Horse and 3 others 1 4 1
nevada Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Gayle talking big in self promotional style just like boxers do. Too much time on the road has probably even caused him to believe a that outlandish stuff he says. flamy 1

Has played most number of matches for WI after Chanderpaul, scored 3rd highest number of international 100s for WI. He's given enough to WI cricket. bahubali, Straight Drive, flamy and 1 other 4
