I started to watch the South Africa Vs West Indies game, but it was a bit boring.
Then I worked out why, Gayle had gone out and South Africa weren’t losing.
Gayle did excite me a couple of times, including a slap over mid on from a Ntini line and length ball that slammed into the fence so hard they had to replace the ball.
Chris got a couple of nice swipes away, but eventually he was caught by a ripper from Gibbs replacement and I started to do more work and take less notice of the cricket.
Exciting news in commentating with Geoffrey Boycott back in the chair.
Boycott commentating Gayle is truly a perfect blend on sound and vision.
Like at the end of fight club as the building is blown up and the Pixies come on.
Or watching charmed on mute.
Every time the other commentator, Pommy i think, tried to defend or justify Gayle's batting style, Boycott would have nothing off it.
"He always bats like this, he does.
He ain't a great player, but he is a dangerous player."
How we have missed him, he's now not a wife basher, right?
I left the Windies at 3/100 odd, the perfect platform for a 300 run day or to be bowled out for 150.
