Chris Gayle's England affair

NatWest Series 2007

Gayle celebrates with his teammates after clinching the trophy

Having lost the first ODI by 79 runs at Lord's, West Indies came back from behind to win the three-match ODI series 2-1. Gayle was the third-highest run-scorer in the series, ending with 124 runs in three matches at an average of 41.33 and a strike rate of 68.88.

Having scored six runs, he was the first West Indian to fall at Lord's as he hit an almost wide Liam Plunkett delivery to Stuart Broad at deep square leg. In the following match, at Edgbaston, he scored 36 (40) with the help of a couple of fours and three sixes. His vigil at Trent Bridge was once again put to a halt by Plunkett, this time on 82 (126).
