That Chris Gayle is some lad
« on: November 13, 2012, 08:59:58 PM »
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!

He probably took offence to the spinner opening at him so thought right your going

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Haha, I can see Roco emulating this :D

After the six, the way Gayle was warming up was hilarious as well lol

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.

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!

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?
