Another long over. 3 more wides.

19-0 off 2 overs.
 
Where has Stuart Broad appeared from - if he was in the WI, why not play him?

Was impressive last summer.
 
Take that! Gayle pulls it for 4 off SB.

C'mon Gayle - you are the FLOP of my fantasy team!!
 
Take that Part II.

Another 4.

Gayle in the mood!

38-0 off 5 overs
 
Nothing much wrong with that over really.

Just some great shots.
 
What a start, keep it up windies, a score of 300+ is on the cards.
 
Broad got a telling off in his first over for yapping to smith and was also told to watch where he steps on the pitch
 
Its all coming back - Broad was a right chopsy git v Pak last summer!
 
50 comes up with one hell of a shot for 4!

Looked like a leave alone shot gone wrong!
 
BIG BIG SIX! Gayle on fire!

Anderson getting th treatment.

56-0
 
MASSIVE SIX!!!

Gayle is BACK!!! 22 in the Plunkett over

62-0 off 8 overs
 
Broad's looking good all things considered.

The rest... err... not so much.
 
This is the West Indies I like to see !!
 
80-0 off 11 overs.

Stage is being set nicely for BC Lara
 
Brutal straight drive that almost decapitates Umpire Taufal - Gayle in the zone.

88-0
 
Loving the commentary Oxy bhai; keep it up !!
 
Gayle batting like a man possessed-excorcising the demons of a disappointing WC.

Anothe 4 straight down the ground.

94-0
 
Ian Bishop: 'Thats the Indian Police - they ve been at every ground throughout the tournament'.

Ian Botham: 'Unlike their team' :)))
 
100 up. Smith gets in on the act. Poor fielding by Plunkett who is having a mare of a match!

102-0 off 15 overs

Shot of the morning - beautifully timed shot through midwkt for 4.

115-0

Gayle only faced 6 balls in the last 30!
 
What the hell is Devon Smith doing? Plays out the over without taking runs until the second last ball when he takes a single. 40 from 85 balls; poor, poor batting !!
 
2nd powerplay taken. Smith has 54 dot balls and scoreing below 50 S/R
WI 123-0 after 22
 
Gayle tonks Freddie for 4.

Man on a mission

131-0. Gayle on 79*
 
Gayle's inngs lights up the WC.

LARA comes out to BAT!
 
Great gesture by Eng team.

Guard of honour & standing ovation.

The scene is set.
 
50 up for Smith. Off 96 balls. Abit slow, but no problems with that as Gayle was BUSY.
 
Lara Lara Lara Lara Lara Lara Lara Lara Lara Lara Lara Lara Lara Lara Lara Lara
Please Don't Retire Form Test Cricket. :59: :59: :59: :59:
 
Lara not looking very free flowing. Hopefully he can get a good 50 or a 100
 
The crowd cheering every Lara shot.

Its taken about 2 months and 60 odd games for this WC to feel like a WC!
