Killer "Gayle" Wakes Up - Thrashes KXIP Into Oblivion

#ChrisGayle vs #KXIP

The sleep whale, #ChrisGayle, woke up today and covered up for that poor form he was carrying all throughout this #IPL8. He's just that kind of a player. On his day, he can literally decimate any bowling attack in the world. Neither big names in bowling matter, nor where they pitch the ball does! That's why he is an impact player and this innings will have impacted #RCB no ends and they will look to soar ahead in the points table from now on, clearly knowing other teams will be vary of a Gayle storm possibility every game.

Today he was simply unstoppable right from the word go!
Mitchell Johnson was selected to start his run feast and he carried that along to all other bowlers including Axar Patel, Karn Singh, Glenn Maxwell and Sandeep Sharma. Anureet Singh was the only bowler to hold his head high with a brilliant spell for 0 for 25 in 4 overs when there was carnage at the other end.

Gayle's innings included 7 fours and 12 massive sixes i.e. exactly 100 runs came in boundaries. He was so dominant that his other superstar colleagues Virat Kohli and AB Devilliers were rendered mere spectators in that onslaught. Not that they were complaining but they are brisk scorers in their own right and to see them as bystanders in an innings indicates the complete domination shown by Christopher Gayle! 

This is only the second century at this year's IPL (next to Brendon McCullum's 100 against KXIP as well). No wonder the two most explosive batsmen in world cricket have centuries to their name. On their day, no bowler is great enough to take them out.

In response, the jolted and shocked KXIP team capitulated poorly for 88 all out in 13 overs. Aravind and Starc grabbed 4 wickets each. The impact by Gayle was so much that no batsmen looked settled or focused. 

There are Thunderstorms forecasted for many venues in coming days. We witnessed a Gayle storm yet again today! Thank you very much maannn!!

CWC 2015 LIVE - Massive Pool B Clash Starting Shortly - Pak vs SA

#Pakistan v #SouthAfrica, #EdenPark, #Auckland
7th Mar 2015

This is massive. #Pak take on #SA in a huge pool B clash on 7th Mar 2015. The game is most important for Pak to win and progress towards qualification to next stage of #CWC15. For SA its about holding on to second spot in Pool B behind #India.

Pool B Tally:
India 4 matches 8 points
South Africa 4 matches 6 points
Ireland 3 matches 4 points
Pakistan 4 matches 4 points
West Indies 5 matches 4 points
Zimbabwe 4 matches 2 points
UAE 4 matches 0 points

Its all becoming very interesting in the #GroupOfDeath.
A lot of teams have to not only win their games but also wait for other team results in their favor to progress ahead. Looks like a very exciting next week for this pool as every game is becoming ever so important for each team.

#MsibahUlHaq needs his team to fire in all cylinders (and more...) if they have to dream of beating the mighty Proteas, #ABDevilliers' SA is high on those two back to back 400 plus scores and wins over two minnow sides. They are yet to chase a formidable score though. This could be Pak'a opportunity to put decent runs on the board and put pressure on SA with their bowlers especially spinners #Afridi and #Yasir (another weaklink in the SA armoury)

Their bowlers have to dismiss #HashimAmla and #ABDevilliers as soon as possible to prevent them from piling huge scores too.
