Yep. Him and Johnson.

If my calculations are correct, the run-rate is now +2.413 WI and -2.413 Aus.

Not looking promising for the Green and Gold.

Australia's NRR should be -2.4.
They'll have to beat Sri Lanka by a fair bit to have a chance of going through.

Nah, seriously. Don't think anyone would have stopped Gayle there.

Agreed Gayle was unstoppable.Good Win for Windies.

The former arent even fit to tie England's bootlaces and those JOKERS were beaten by the Dutch!

Very, very happy with the exposure of Australia as politically motivated garbage

You ignore West Indies' recent T20 exploits since last year. Losing only 1( 2 if you include the warmup).

Jono · 06-06-2009, 10:32 AM

LOL! Ponting clearly unhappy with Ian Bishop's question regarding having a Symonds hitter.

The cricket has switched channels here and haven't had any interviews

Assuming SL beat West Indies of course...

Edged&Taken · 06-06-2009, 10:36 AM

i taken a beating too, -5 points cos lee's gone for > 40 runs damn

aussie · 06-06-2009, 10:36 AM

This is the bad thing about T20s.

Always hate it when technically inept players like Gayle (although brilliant to watch when on the go), get runs so freely. Its soooo batsmen oriented.

Looking forward to Johnson & co roughing him up down under later this year...

Of course.
The SL-WI game is after the SL-AUS game though. Australia would need to beat Sri Lanka by a fair bit just so their fate isn't out of their hands so much.

I bet Australia wished they hadn't of sent Symonds home now. What a shalaking! It's no wonder Gayle only wants to play 20/20 - he's so good at it!

Still can't believe Hopes only got 2 overs when Lee goes for 56 off 4!

Your point in general may be right, but Gayle is a ****ty example.

The guy:
a) has a very very fine ODI record
b) Has a ****ing 300 in test cricket.

Batsman who are 'technically inept' (I wouldn't say Gayle is in this category, but meh) are succeeding in all forms of the game because of flat tracks. Not just T20.

Hope you were bitching at test cricket when he triple tonned up!
