The New Chris Gayle

I love watching Chris Gayle bat.

Once I described him as batting like a drunken lumberjack.

Sure it was wanky, but it was the best i could come up with on a late night.

Yesterday he stopped drinking, and only cut down trees that had that had been looked over by tree surgeon and found to be in need of removal.

It was odd.

But I liked it, sometimes watching a slogger play a proper test innings is gratifying in a perverse sort of way.

Like watching Traci Lords in a proper film.

And it’s not like he didn’t play any big shots.

Every now and then he put one on a roof, or in someone’s back yard.

He just had a steely resolve go with it, it was if he wanted to make a big score, but didn’t mind if it took him all day.

An odd theory for him to work with.

The last time I saw him really look hard as nails in a test match was when he slapped the Saffers around with one hand.

Now Gayle has changed.

He has matured, it’s a new and improved batsmen, one with patience, strength and will power.

With Cric Info calling Graeme Smith, Graeme Smith 2.0 (Clever), I thought maybe Gayle could have an appropriate IT nerdy name as well.

I spent a few hours and came up with these.
