Gayle eyes another post-300 total against South Africa

CANBERRA: Chris Gayle says the West Indies will be looking to post their fourth total above 300 in Friday´s crunch World Cup game with South Africa at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Gayle exploded back to form with a World Cup record 215 off 147 balls to set Zimbabwe a target of 373. Zimbabwe were bowled out for 289 off 44.3 overs for the second win of the tournament for the West Indians.
Next up is a challenging match against AB de Villiers´ Proteas.
The West Indies also posted totals of 304 against Ireland and 310 against Pakistan.
Gayle says it will be the target again for the Caribbean side as they look to avenge a 4-1 ODI series loss to the Proteas in South Africa last month. “Yeah, that´s a good positive for us, getting 300 runs. Apart from the first game (against Ireland), I thought our bowlers did a wonderful job,” Gayle said.
“Jerome Taylor with the new ball picking up early wickets for us, put us in a good position, as well for the captain Jason Holder.”
