First ball in a test match and the first ball in test cricket for the young off spinner. Welcome to Mr Gayle:-

First time ever the first ball has gone for six in a test match. That said, giving a tweaker the first ball to Chris Gayle was asking for it!
-
Some balls
-
He probably took offence to the spinner opening at him so thought right your going
-
Hahahahaha that's Incredible!!
-
Haha, I can see Roco emulating this :D
After the six, the way Gayle was warming up was hilarious as well lol
-
Chris Gayle Hero <3
-
Ha quite a way to say welcome to test cricket :D
Think this bowler got him out early on though as well, so he probably doesn't mind that first one at all.
-
Kinda sums Gayle up that knock.
-
What a man
-
Thats awesome!
However I completed this feat in a 1st XI match in 2011, cutting/top edging the bowler for 6 over point first ball of the game!
-
has to be Gayle, cant imagine Cooky having a go...
-
I believe the great Herbert Sutcliffe once hooked the first ball of a first class match for six.
-
I well remember a game where our skip told our opening 'fireballer' to 'keep it tight'. He opened up with a pretty quick bouncer as a loosener, only to see it clouted over the roof of a nearby pub. :o

What? Apart from the triple centuries, 7 T20 centuries and all other centuries he's scored?

And the 20 odi hundreds with 3 scores over 150 previous highest test score against sa anfld highest test score in sl
-
I meant test career 42's a far lower average than a guy of his talents should have though, and only 14 test 100's.

Take a look at the list of hundreds, 14 is pretty good...

especially for someone that scores them so fast

I'm not saying he's no use (just like hitting millions of the first over isn't), just that he's got a lot more ability than some on that list, although he does seem to be making more of it now then he did a few years ago, maybe he's grown up a little.

Check out his bats, mental !!!
-
more impressed with the grouping of his red marks!!
-
I'd noticed that too :o
-
Wonder what crictech analysis would make of his middle position? ;)
-
sandpaper/white spirit is a wonderful thing ;)

Makes sense, would intimidate the bowlers even more!
