Watching Chris Gayle score a blistering centuryu00a0-- the fifth highest in the history of the gameu00a0-- off just 70 balls at Perth's WACA, of which he is president, fast bowling great Dennis Lillee said people might be advised to wear helmets in the stands.
A fan reportedly said Simon Katich, who for the most part of Gayle's blitzkrieg was fielding at short leg, must have been wondering why he didn't take a cushy job on the frontline with the Iraqi police force.
