  • BOLT BOWLES GAYLE FOR 22 RUNS

    22 Oct 2009 by Seth Rotherham in Puma, Sport, Video

    Whilst I was hoping to see footage of the fastest man in the world, Puma’s Usain Bolt running six runs for a normal persons two, I don’t necessarily mind this latest intelligence we have received. Namely, his bowling West Indies cricket captain Chris Gayle for 22.

    Blind!

    Check it out.

    The Jamaica Observer (as you do) reports:

    DISCOVERY BAY, St Ann – Triple Olympic gold medallists and world record holder Usain Bolt created quite a stir at the Kaiser Sports Club here Sunday when he bowled West Indies cricket captain Chris Gayle for a measly 22 runs.

    Bolt, using his childhood experience as a young cricketer, at medium pace, bowled Gayle shortly after the West Indies captain hit him for six to send spectators scampering for cover.

    “It feels good, I love cricket from I was a child and I thoroughly enjoyed myself . I told him (Gayle), he wasn’t going to last,” Bolt said after his Trelawny All Stars XI was beaten by Gayle’s Kingston and St Andrew All Star XI for a place in the final.

    Action was in the Chris Gayle-led CJ Sporting Goods Company Limited Charity 15/15 Pro cricket competition where a throng of past and present West Indies and Jamaican cricketers engaged each other.

    “It was a good game . I am really happy for the turnout and I must thank everybody, all the players, past and present, all the sponsors . this charity game it was really good,” Gayle said adding that at least 10 schools from Kingston, St Ann, Trelawny and St Mary will benefit.

    Nice vibe.

    My cricket career was fairly glittering, if I don’t say so myself. Highlights include smacking AJ Pelser for a six during house matches. A lot of the first team players weren’t aware how much “turn” there was on my home wicket, the mighty Lutgensvale B field.

    Lest we forget the time Paul “St. John” Hodges smacked a ball into my ear whilst I was watching cars as I fielded. It blew the eardrum. I could blow bubbles out my ear underwater. No spice – ask Sister Francis at the sanatorium. I used to go and bath there, rather than showering (with a hole in my eardrum) at the boarding house. I remember spoiling the old duck and purposefully letting her catch glimpses of my main-chap.

    Good times.

    Oh, by the way….Floreat Founders!
