ICC World T20 - The trio to watch out for with the willow in hand (Part 1) - Opinion
T20 cricket is packed with tumbling wickets, sensational catches and towering sixes which are deposited in stands all around the world. The previous editions of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 in 2010, 2009 and 2007, have witnessed some of the finest displays of power hitting that the world had ever seen. Boundaries which pierce the off and leg side inner rings to perfection, or sixes being smashed off one’s bat, has become a part of cricket folklore, ever since the T20 format came into the limelight. The pocket sized game has always been served with great hitters of whom, many could annihilate bowling attacks on their given day and on any given occasion.
This year’s ICC World T20 would be no different. It will be played on the shores of the Emerald Isle, which would provide ample space for some of the most ferocious strikers of the cricket ball, to make their mark as the tournament’s leading run scorers. Each team has a batsman who could take the initiative early on, by decimating the figures of some of the thriftiest of bowlers from their opposition.
Some of them are known for instigating a ‘blitzkrieg’ early on, whereas others resort towards maneuvering the ball into the gaps before launching an assault in the death overs. Nevertheless, there are three men who stand out in terms of their dexterity, belligerence and indispensability to their teams. They would definitely be under the spotlight to perform for their respective teams, as they are considered to be undisputed champions of the format, and can crack cricket balls with impunity on their day.
The first of the three that comes to one’s mind is someone who needs no introduction. The decision to include him in any franchise becomes a no brainer for the selection committee in most parts of the world. He is none other than the tall, powerful, confident and calm, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ernest-Harvey-Bromley-c56276. Contrary to popular belief, his is one of the most orthodox of the thunderous hitters that the world has seen in the T20 format.
He play’s incredibly straight and is known for connecting with the cherry, which sees the latter sail into the crowd. He has ignited stadiums all around the world and his fan following stretches from Brisbane to Barbados. He has a distinct batting style, where he stands with amazing poise and has his eyes locked onto the ball when it gets deployed. Then comes a whoosh of the blade, which sends the ball sailing into the crowd. Towering sixes which mandate considerable effort, almost come naturally to him, and unlike many of his contemporaries,
Gayle is not known to flinch or get carried away with his emotions. He is a true original and the coolest customer to have embraced the cricket field. With an average of 36.04, and a monstrous 117 under his belt, he is the best batsman by a distance, in this ICC World T20 and the onus would be on him to come up with electrifying starts at the top of the lineup, to ensure that the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 pound their oppositions into submission.
