Big hitting West Indian Chris Gayle lit up Ethihad Stadium with a masterful batting display of power and aggression for the Melbourne Renegades. In what was to be his last appearance in the BBL, Gayle left no doubt in anybody's mind that he is not only a great talent but an excellent drawcard for T20 cricket.
Gayle equaled Yuvraj Singh's T20 batting record with a quickfire knock comprising of 2 . 6 6 6 6 2 6 6 4 1 and finally another towering 6 to bring up his half century as a no ball added another run to the total.
Ironically Gayle declined a boundary side interview after his majestic knock, this is a disaster for Cricket Australia who have indicated Gayle will not be invited back to the BBL next year.
Furthermore, Gayle's legal action against the Fairfax Media Group could potentially reap him millions in lost revenue from cricket appearances and endorsements. Everybody is a loser after this poorly handled witch hunt.
