I've had one on the end of my arm since I was about 13. Close enough for me, anyway.

Yep imagine Sir Viv or even Clive Lloyd teeing off playing T20.
They’d shit all over this knob.

But it is a fair effort from Gayle nonetheless

I do like the way journo's spin the words though.

Gayle "I'm the best ever"

Headline "Gayle declares he's better than Bradman"

We would have to have the worse list going around!

Be surprised if we win couple of games, think bottom two finish this year.

Hope the crowds don't drop off too much when we start losing!

I can certainly see where youre coming from with worst list.
But Weatherald, hasnt been given a go yet, should have the weapons to be successful at this form. The top 5 are ok, albeit inconsistent, they may just click and away we go. Bowling has 3 international standard players in Stanlake, Rashid and Laughlin but then falls away, i dont see what they see in Neser with the ball, hes good for 2 overs for 30, i dont know oconnor, whats he bowl? Siddle, meh average T20 bowler. So to sum that up we could be at either pointy end haha. Cant afford any injuries to the top 3 bowlers
