CRICKET WORLD CUP WEST INDIES
Picture Gayle - hard-hitting left-hander. (Allsport)

CHRIS GAYLE

Born: 21.09.79
One-day internationals: 62
Batting: Left Hand (Avge: 36.44)
Bowling: Right Hand Off Breaks (Avge: 29.03)
Catches: 12

The tall and powerful left-hander combined hard-hitting aggression with heavy scoring consistency to be the leading batsman in successive Busta Series in 2000 and 2001.

A very effective striker of the ball but has some technical flaws, mainly his lack of foot movement early in his innings.

If he gets off to a good start he could fulfil the potential he has long promised during the tournament.

His occasional off-spin is also handy.
