http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221 pounds Delhi Daredevils by amassing an innings of 128 runs - Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – May 18, 2012
On Thursday, Chris Gayle once more exhibited just why he is currently the cleanest hitter of a cricket ball as he played a brutal innings of 128 runs against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils that included seven fours and an astounding number of 13 sixes to help his side pile 215 runs, which was enough to slap Delhi a defeat by 21 runs.
Gayle, who was later named as the Player of the Match for his fiery innings said, “Secret behind those sixes, good balance and it helps to have a pitch where the ball comes up to the bat, it is natural, trying not to move around, couple of innings have me moving around which does not help. Thanks to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737 for his support at the other end.”
In the second match of the day, Kings XI http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 dismantled defending champions Chennai Super Kings by six wickets after successfully chasing a total of 121 runs needed to win the match.
Returning skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Gilchrist-c918, played an astounding innings of 64 runs to stay unbeaten at the end of the game as he saw his side prevail.
Chennai are now hanging with a mere thread as they have played all their 16 games while the rest of the teams still have one game to play which could knock Chennai out of the tournament if they fail to maintain a place in the final four teams of the tournament.
On the first day of the first Test between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, the Windies have managed to post 243 runs at stumps for the loss of nine wickets.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 was the main man for England, as the lanky pacer wrecked havoc on West Indies by grabbing six wickets in 24.4 overs.
The lanky bowler became the seventh player in the history of the game to have taken a five-wicket haul and scored a century at Lord’s.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 is not pleased over the fact that Pakistan players have not played much international cricket this year and especially before their upcoming series in Sri Lankan, which is being considered as a tough tournament for the Men in Green.
“For the last two months we have not been playing international matches and we are not even practicing Twenty20s," Hafeez said.
