Chris Gayle is a thrusting Jamaican left-handed batsman in West Indies team; Gayle earned himself a black mark on his first senior tour - to England in 2000 - where the new boys were felt to be insufficiently respectful of their elders. But a lack of respect, for opposition bowlers at least, has served Gayle well since then. He has the ability to decimate the figures of even the thriftiest of opening bowlers. Gayle is tall and imposing at the crease, he loves to cut through the covers off either foot.
