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. 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. Ben Simmons Jersey .com) - The disappointing Ottawa Senators hope to record consecutive wins for the first time since early November, as they visit the Boston Bruins on Friday for the opener of a home-and-home series. Amir Johnson Jersey . The three Calgary natives will compete after the sport was skipped by the Vancouver Games in 2010 but later included on the program for Sochi, Russia. The fight to include womens ski jumping prior to Vancouver went to the courts only to have the Supreme Court of Canada rule against the athletes appeal in 2009. http://www.authentic76ersauthority.com/ ... ersey-c-5/. -- Falcons running back Steven Jackson, who has missed the last four games with a hamstring injury, is expected to practice on Wednesday. Julius Erving Jersey . During halftime, Love told The Associated Press he would receive treatment Saturday night and hoped to play Monday night against Houston. "I knew that my quad was bothering me pretty bad so I went out there and tried to move around a little bit and it just wasnt quite right," Love said. Jahlil Okafor Jersey .C. -- Ryan Sproul scored the winner late in double overtime to lift the Grand Rapids Griffins to a 2-1 win over the Abbotsford Heat on Friday in Game 1 of their American Hockey League playoff series.DALLAS - If the Dallas Mavericks ever figure out the third quarter, they might be on to something in their quest to rejoin the elite in the Western Conference.Until then, theyll be dealing with some frayed nerves.Chandler Parsons scored 29 points, including a key 3-pointer to help Dallas hang on after going up by 30 before halftime for the second time in two home games, and the Mavericks beat the Boston Celtics 118-113 Monday night.Its concerning, said Parsons, who also won a key jumpball with Boston within three in the final minute after trailing by 31 in the second quarter. I love how we never give up after we give up the lead. But we cant allow these teams to keep coming back in and cutting the lead.Jeff Green led the Celtics with 35, and Avery Bradley had a career-high 32 but missed one of three free throws with a chance to tie with 39 seconds left after getting fouled on a 3-pointer by Monta Ellis.We shot ourselves in the foot in the first half the last two games, said Green, whose team trailed Houston by 19 at halftime in a loss Saturday. By the end we were out of gas. We cant allow teams to be the aggressor the first 12 minutes. Thats what happens.Dirk Nowitzki scored 27 for the Mavericks, who shot 73 per cent in the first quarter and had at least 66 points at halftime for the third straight game, all wins since a season-opening loss at San Antonio.But Dallas cooled off and couldnt shake Boston the way it did Utah after going up by 30 before halftime and losing more than half the lead in an 18-point win in the home opener.The Mavericks have been outscored in the third quarter of all four games, three times by double digits. New Orleans scored 37 while wiping out most of a 17-point deficit on Saturday. The Celtics hit eight of their first nine shots in a 38-point third quarter.To continue getting the leads, that would be great, Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. If we can keep doing that, we will deal with the other stuff. We will get it solved.Parsonns had a 3-pointer and an easy layup after a turnover to push Dallas lead to 114-104 before the Celtics scored seven quick points to get close again in the final minute.ddddddddddddAfter Bradley missed the second of three free throws with a chance to tie, Ellis put Dallas back up by three at 116-113 with a driving layup.The Celtics had another chance to get even when Green missed a 3 with 20 seconds left, and Parsons won the tip with Jared Sullinger after they ended up in a jump ball following a mad scramble on the floor.SMARTS HOMECOMINGThe first time Boston cut its 31-point deficit to 3 in the fourth quarter, it came on a 3-pointer by rookie first-round pick Marcus Smart, who played at a Dallas-area high school and had quite a cheering section for his first pro game close to home. Several dozen students from Marcus High School in nearby Flower Mound wore T-shirts that read, We Are 4 Marcus, with his No. 36 inside a shamrock.Some of the guys played on the JV team when I was on the varsity. It makes me feel old, said the 20-year-old Smart, who got a loud ovation when he came into the game and finished with seven points, six rebounds and three assists.TIP-INSCeltics: Boston was 11 of 31 from 3-point range after making just 1 of 25 from beyond the arc in Houston. Bradley was 4 of 6 and Green was 5 of 12. ... Rajon Rondo had team highs with 15 assists and nine rebounds. ... Bradley scored 14 points in the fourth quarter.Mavericks: Tyson Chandler had his first double-double since returning to Dallas with 10 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. ... Parsons and Nowitzki combined to go 8 of 9 on 3-pointers. ... Forward Al-Farouq Aminu left the game in the second quarter with a left knee injury. Carlisle said he didnt think the injury was serious.UP NEXTCeltics: Return home to face Toronto on Wednesday after a two-game Texas swing opened the road schedule.Mavericks: Get two days off before their first back-to-back on the road at Portland and Utah.
