'Gayle had some sort of big-bat cheat activated'

Chris Gayle admitted to feeling pressured after "messages kept coming in" on Twitter, urging him to score a double-century ever since Rohit Sharma made two of those. He duly responded by whipping up the first double-hundred in World Cup history, breaking a few other records along the way. Here's how people responded on Twitter:

Lovely knock @henrygayle. It's no test double v Bangladesh but well batted nonetheless. #WIvZIM #CWC15

Stadium DJ plays 'Get up Stand up'. But everyone already is! Gayle standing& hitting, crowd standing to catch, fielders standing jobless.

Whatmore thinking - after all this madness they only scored 372! LOL. SL scored 398 way back in 1996

If Gayle was English there is a good chance under the current management that he would currently be on holiday.

England: endless statistical analysis, hundreds of meetings, train every day, 52-page diet list. Chris Gayle: cut down on the parties.
