0.4
Tsotsobe to Agarwal, OUT, tame dismissal, Agarawalk goes, early setback for the hosts, back of a length on middle and Agarwal tries to whip that square, is probably into the shot a touch early and ends up getting a leading edge to extra cover, simple catch

MA Agarwal c Ingram b Tsotsobe 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

1.3
Theron to Gayle, SIX, Vintage Gayle! Pitched up and he's out of the crease, makes a little too much room but reaches it in the end and clobbers it over extra cover for the flattest of sixes

1.6
Theron to Gayle, FOUR, misfielded, slower one bowled short on the off, Gayle made room and thumped it hard past extra cover, the fielder there, it seemed, had it covered. He was almost on the edge of the circle but couldn't quite hold onto it

howzdat wrote:hi all, After yesterday's fun and frolics on the Revisiting Stanford One More Time topic which Chris featured in latterly, here i am sat watching him perfrom for RCB. Game on and not a mouth organ in sight but Chris just mishit a six and now a four.

2.4
Tsotsobe to Gayle, FOUR, he's taking on Tsotso here, comes down the track and picks it up beautifully over midwicket for four more, intimidating stuff from Gayle

2.3
Tsotsobe to Gayle, SIX, that's punished, banged in short on the off and Gayle had made his mind up, makes way and smashes it hard over the wide long-on boundary for another six

3.4
Parnell to Gayle, OUT, Botha takes a superb catch, Gayle had made his mind up and went through with his intended slap over mid-on despite the change in pace, was the slower one, it seemed he had enough on it to clear mid-on but Botha kept his eyes on it all through and took it over his head, even though he lost his balance and tumbled, he ensured he held on. Excellent take, and the Warriors have seen off a major threat. He took it with one hand, his right one and held on.

Anil: "Almost every batsmen and bowler thinks at some part of their life, are invincible. Like Tsotsobe who gave an impression he is THE ONE during India's trip of SA. Now he is realizing how difficult it is to bowl to Gayle on Indian pitches..."

Kunal: "Champions League need players like Gayle to make it successful. I just hope West Indies board understand this as well. He is one of the very few genuine crowd-pullers that are around in the game these days."
