Gayle storm continues

Chris Gayle continued his rich vein of form in Twenty20 cricket, blasting 105 off just 57 deliveries to set up Jamaica Tallawah's 50-run victory against Trinidad & Tobago at Sabina Park on Thursday.

Chasing the target of 181 Trinidad & Tobago managed 130 for 9 in 20 overs.

Gayle's assault, his seventh 50-plus score in nine matches, also lifted the hosts up to second in the table, level on points with Barbados Tridents, who have played a game more, while Red Steel were left rooted at the bottom.

Gayle came into the match boasting scores of 92, 151*, 85*, 90*, 72* and 64* for Tallawahs and Somerset in the last couple of months, and he did not take long to get going on Thursday.
