Chris Gayle triple

[Son_Of]

Pains me to report that Gayle hit 333 at Galle. Highlights will be on islandcricket.lk, sounds an entertaining knock, sixes-a-plenty. WI won toss and elected to bat. Currently 569/7 in first innings nearing end of day 2.

We're in trouble but if we can avoid the follow-on, there'll be no time for a result. And it is a flat runway of a track so a bit of concentration could be enough to salvage a draw.

You have me to thank that it wasn't more. I started watching when he was on 332, and I thought "Ooh he could beat Lara's record here!" and, in accordance with this strange power that I have, he was out within seconds.

cheers A2, we needed something to stop the Gayleforce! Lakmal disguised-bouncered him out in the first innings at the premadasa, but without malinga in the side he could wreak havoc next time at the crease

I love watching cricket from the fort in Galle, not many places better in the world!

and watch the sunset and turtles on the beach from the fort wall. bliss. i haven't been to Galle since before the tsunami, but the stadium has had a facelift and it's already witnessed Murali's historic last test/800th wicket
