Gayle under the microscope

Chris Gayle has been all smiles in all his public appearances since arriving in Guyana for his first home series as West Indies captain.

But in the back of his mind he will have some major concerns that would consume his thoughts more than normal even for someone as laid back as the Jamaican.

After 70 Test matches, Gayle’s batting records still are not where they should be as a big name player from West Indies that has produced some of the world’s best ever, moreso when they ruled the world for 15 years in the 1970s and ’80s.
