Gayle's was a restrained hand. He was willing to bide his time and glean his runs. But when the bowlers erred, he was quick to pounce on their mistakes, stroking as many as 14 boundaries and a six while making 80 off 202 balls. He and Hinds, by putting on 172 runs, also had the rare satisfaction of besting one of the many records that their illustrious predecessors Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes had set - that of the highest partnership for the opening wicket at Eden Gardens.
