Gayle threat

Opener Chris Gayle will be one of the big draws for neutrals over the coming weeks, with the 33-year-old heading into the Champions Trophy on the back of a stunning Indian Premier League campaign. Most notably, the Jamaican scored a remarkable 175 not out off 65 balls for Royal Challengers Bangalore against the Mumbai Indians. It was the highest individual score in a Twenty 20 match, while his 30-ball century was the fastest in any form of the game. "He is the most dangerous one-day player in the world, and I think he will be until he decides to finish the game," said Bravo. "But he's a guy that's easy to captain. Chris doesn't say much. He shares his knowledge. He's very approachable, a good team man, and to have someone like him in the team is always an asset."
