Chris Gayle’s brutal power rendered Zimbabwe’s attack powerless as he smashed his way to the highest ever World Cup score, says Mark Butcher. Brandon Weeden Jersey Retro . Gayle – who had registered just one fifty in his previous 19 ODI innings – cut loose to score 215 off just 147 deliveries as the West Indies ran up 372-2, Marlon Samuels contributing 133no. The opener smote 16 sixes – the joint-highest ever in an ODI innings – as he registered the third highest ODI score ever and the best in the World Cup, eclipsing Gary Kirsten’s 188no for South Africa against UAE in 1996.“If ever Chris Gayle was going to show the ball-striking that we know he can produce, then it’s going to be against a bowling attack that at times was absolutely hapless,” reflected Butcher.“There was nothing they could do against it – they simply didn’t have the talent to be able to stop him. Once the ball started finding the middle of the bat on a regular basis, it was a case of ‘how many?’“There’s no better player to watch in full flight than Chris Gayle, simply because of the pure power of the man. He has an extraordinarily brutal way of hitting the ball, which renders bowlers powerless.“The confidence that the rest of the team will gain from the fact that it has not just been the guys at six, seven or eight that has dug them out of trouble, or lifted their scores past 300, will be enormous.“All of the rest of the teams in that group – and perhaps in the quarter-finals if they get there, which is looking increasingly likely – will be very, very concerned about the West Indies batting power.”Gayle was slow out of the blocks after the West Indies chose to bat, surviving a strong lbw shout off his first ball, bowled by Tinashe Panyangara.Umpire Steve Davis gave it not out and Zimbabwe’s subsequent review failed – the replay showing the decision should stay with the umpire’s call on the basis of height.Gayle then eased into his work, scoring just 12 runs off his first 18 balls – a fact that did not surprise Butcher.“If you follow Chris Gayle’s batting, particularly in Twenty20 cricket over the last one or two years, it is no shock that he takes a little while to get himself in,” he said.“He quite likes his partner at the other end to go out and take a few risks; he might chew up as many as 15-20 deliveries in a T20 game before he plays his first shot in anger and then he decides that he’s going to go big and play all of the expansive shots that we’ve seen.“The difference has been that in 50-over cricket he hasn’t been able to get in – he’s been taking his time but then getting out without making any runs.“Looking at the bowling attack you thought ‘if he gets himself in today, it could be the day’ - but it could have be all over after just one ball.“In real-time, looking head on, it looks as though he’s plumb lbw first ball but Gayle, batting against bowlers of very little pace, decided to take his guard outside of the crease; he took a stride forward and that’s why Steve Davis gave him the benefit of the doubt.”Gayles record-breaking knock came days after he was inadvertently caught up in a Twitter gaffe committed by West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) president Dave Cameron.“He’d been poked by Dave Cameron – the president of the West Indies Cricket Board – who re-tweeted somebody suggesting that Gayle ought to be sent for retirement,” explained Butcher.“This innings was a great answer to that particular accusation. If you are being questioned by people who are running your board, there ought to be a little bit of a sting there.“I don’t think that Chris Gayle has lost the ability to play like that over the years – perhaps what has been questioned is his desire to do it on a regular basis for the West Indies in longer form cricket or whether it was earning the bucks around the world in Twenty20 cricket that was floating his boat.”Gayle shared a partnership of 372 – the highest in ODI history - with number three Marlon Samuels, whose 133no came off 156 balls and featured 11 fours and three sixes.Butcher said it was a curious innings, reflecting: “He tried to give Gayle as much strike as possible – while trying to show the power that he has.“But to end up playing 53 per cent of your deliveries as dot balls against a bowling attack of this type - and basically having a strike-rate of about 50 per cent up until beyond the end of the 35th over – was quite extraordinary.“He’ll turn round and say ‘look, I ended up with 133no and we scored over 360, where’s your problem?’”Watch highlights of West Indies v Zimbabwe on Sky Sports World Cup at 1pm, 3pm, 5pm and 8pm.

With everything that has gone against us, this team could have packed it in the last two matches of the season. They said that we may have nothing in the standings to play for, but we have to play for pride and love for one another. On the road, against a top-10 team, we played as well as we have all year for 90 minutes and played with incredible guts and effort. Now we go home and celebrate this incredible senior class on Thursday night. I have tremendous respect for Arkansas and (head coach) Colby Hale. We will be cheering for them in the NCAA Tournament.The loss for Arkansas is its first home defeat all season.The scoring opened against the run of play in the 24th minute as senior captain Kaitlin Miller scored her fourth goal of the season to put the Wildcats ahead, 1-0. Miller was served in a ball from Zoe Swift, who tallied her team-leading fifth assist of the season along the left flank and the ball came across the face of goal along the six and Miller finished with her right foot back across the goalkeepers body to the far post for a 1-0 lead.Arkansas responded like you would expect a top-10 team to do on its home pitch, as the Razorbacks equalized 10 minutes later in the 34th minute through the eighth goal of Lindsey Mayo with Erika Miller getting the assist. Bruce Thornton Jersey Retro. The goal for the Razorbacks made the match 1-1 heading into halftime.The Wildcats came out and really pressed in the second half, earning all five of its corner kicks in the second 45.Swift scored her sixth goal of the season in the 67th minute, in what turned out to be the eventual match-winning goal. Swift was served a ball over top the heads of the centerbacks of Arkansas and from the left side, where Swift was waiting in front of goal for the lovely finish. Junior Tanya Samarzich started the goal-scoring threat in the run of play with a ball wide outside to Crosetti, who served in the ball to Swift for the match-winner.Not to be overlooked was the play of senior goalkeeper Ayanna Parker, who was filling in for Evangeline Soucie (injury) and had simply a brilliant game in net, making two unbelievable saves in the dying minutes of the match to preserve the 1-0 win. Parker picked up her first-career SEC win, saving five of the six shots that she faced and playing all 90 minutes of a match for the fifth time in her career.Four years of hard work culminated into 90 minutes of leadership, courage and game-winning goalkeeping today, Ian Carry said.
