I remember his debut. he was hesitant to get forward even to slow medium pace of Robin Singh and was bowled 8 balls later, for 1, in that Sahara cup ODI series 1999..

Even today, Chris Gayle remains a layed back character who likes to fire from the crease. Rated by itsonlycricket as one of few batsmen who may score an ODI double century someday soon, this Jamaican cricketer is fans delight, and bowlers nightmare.

Century on first class debut, Christopher Henry Gayle played a significant role in players & board dispute over sponsorship issues.
