Chris Gayle 132 Not Out v England Natwest Series 2004 @ Lords

Chris Gayle preparing to face the first boss going to be Darren Gough from the pavilion end West Indies chasing 286 at a required rate of five point seven two and over that is a top class cricket shot from Chris Gayle nothing wrong with the delivery really perhaps a fraction that by six four no agree well he always likes to stare back Chris Gayle and he gets just enough width there he almost stands upright and just clubs the ball through the offside immensely strong there just extends himself to his full height [Applause] damn cops only picked up one wicked in the series so Phi thought he had a chance of another one here wasn't a particularly convincing shout picked out pitched outside the leg stump very high as what well by any person who can get bored like that but usually you appreciate on her he was in there's amongst the poorest it's a subtle change in the field before this board Michael Vaughn had gone to a 72 field which just meant Thomas that gave Yale a bit of width which he absolutely loves beautiful shop for runs didn't wake time that one Chris Nilan got at least two for it though it may go all the way this is a fast Oldfield it gets there you know what I thought he'd be I've gotten that far [Applause] incredibly fast out fill Mikey Chris go hardly got half of this and yet it went down the hill here at Lord's kept going away from Michael Vaughn slightly short from Harmison pounces powerful man like Andrew Flintoff and here at Lord's the ball just keeps going away from you down there towards the nursery end that's a good shot I don't think that's al in the morning on the surface so respectable the whole past you are 29 to 1 we certainly saw when the West Indies were in the field that we shot boys didn't quite do the job that it has been doing on other syrup Liberatore playing that shot taken went through two hands there two sets of hands [Applause] Dolf is that an unlucky series so far is that some catches put down this is a difficult chance from Strauss again go going aerial hanging in the air hang time from Strauss possibly have caught that England believe that their fielders should get them two wickets in a one day international Collingwood has dropped a half chance Strauss a half chance on the gap again again didn't aim it perfectly at the end this fast don't feel a little wobbly beautiful shot from Frisco just that little bit of width and a little bit full it's a beautiful cover drive team and Chris Gayle has been a quiet series he needs to get runs for West Indies to win that's poor nor perfection bound listen Oh clear water steal the core there is a finally this shot here shows why Michael Vaughn has that field to Harmsen this is this key area square of the wicked beautifully manufactured shots not a lot of with it just gave his hands a little bit of room a lot of thinking from the England captain where shall I go 72 or 6-3 that's poor again once you beat the infield and you time it we're looking all the way I'm player Chris Cole and there's not a lot of sideways movement as there isn't here Lord's his lack of feet movement makes no difference at all he just hits through the line and one thing he does very well is it through the line it's the fraction to full I would think from Jim's hands in there well that's what happens when you have no finally then you're unable to maintain that Lionel said all stomp [Applause] we are the ball boys oh you're the ball girl she'll get it Western is move on to six or six for one the partnership moves on to 50 to 51 I [Applause] will get is 50 with that to stir little nerds on the onside so the scale 15 from 78 balls 50 out of the first in the 97 this is 101 day international so so far so good for him that's in two spaces - one more brings up the hundred stir the West Indies hundred coming up at the stars at the 22nd over that form has being built [Applause] thus for that's broken the deadlock quite happy he's not England applying that pressure is keeping things quiet West Indies looking for a Bhangra it's Chris Gayle that finds it he moves on to 63 down towards long line is going to clear him Robert key took a step or two in that's the the usual thing that happens you see the ball coming flat you think it's not going to carry then you get a horrible surprise and it goes over your head big moment this Ashley Giles has tied down girl and Gaylord had enough Chris girl saying that's it enough with these attempted singles on going for the maximum just enough on it to go force it straight down the ground this time well going it's suffering this over massive over here for the Western news they've played beautifully to this point England at a half a chance with a run out and then both Sawa and Gayle have hit boundaries just as pressure was building it's been relieved West Indies my plane destrun chase absolutely spot-on at the moment that's into space it's going to be wired of the field roots for this girl does not deal in singles with the spinner he does not like hitting singles unlike sar1 who comes from Guyana and place spin a lot in Jamaica you don't see a lot of it and if you do see it this is what you do with it now there's a chance I would've gone I'm sure it hasn't been England's day in the field today from no chance and he was out by a mile wasn't far away look at this it's all instinctive it's just a reflex reaction you get it into the hair captain it's being next to cover it's also beating the National Giles let mid off take that and that's great running lose urgency there from the West Indies three more to Gayle well there's a mixer here miles out that gal has completed the single in fact he's come back for two and he's gone through two three figures forget the structured teammate this has been a wonderful innings by a guy a hundred and one years now after 141 bowls it's his say 900 and it's in his 100th one day international what a day they played very very well but he could have given England a real bonus given to his hundred exactly where he was eyeing it up and he's buried away through straight midwicket for four runs that relieves the pressure for the West Indies that takes the required rate under NATO Nova and the 250 comes up for the West Indies they need 34 slogging at that to the mid wicked region Chris Gayle it was short just hitting the mark midwicket it wasn't that far away had enough pull on it to clear him though straight down the ground this time keys their pals coming back for the second and makes it [Applause] key Gale once a second run he's taken on the throw it's a poor one from Robert key there are always question marks about to England's fielding a way to laugh [Applause] now once the second one he's going to be run out surely no another poor throw and England's head said drooping here [Applause] Gayle's can pursue again West Indies need just two runs to win now Powell hits it straight to mid-on he takes the run the throw misses the stumps it stores a level now poised for the run times and Jamie hits the stands but pals and the West Indies at home they've beaten England here convincingly by seven wickets and take their place alongside New Zealand in the NatWest series it's disappointment for England Chris Gayle 132 not out the star for the West Indies [Applause]
