“You don’t need to plan too much for him [Gayle] as you can’t have a field positioned outside the ropes,” Dhoni pointed out, when asked what was the best way to keep Gayle quiet.
At first glance, MS Dhoni’s comment seems kissing kin to that of the harassed bowler of apocrypha who, asked where he wanted his fielders, said “In the gaps”.
Here’s the rest of it:
“He will always fancy taking risks, so we should not give him the space.”
ToI used the first half of that quote as a blurb in its preview of today’s marquee game; just thought I’d give you the rest of the quote.
Anyway — it is India versus West Indies at Lord’s tonight; should be a fun game [News Flash: Suresh Raina will — 99 per cent probable — bat at three]. Between now and then, I have a paper to edit and put to bed, so see you on here much later in the day.

Maybe someone can field outside the boundary, jump when the ball comes to them and catch it inside !!!
That is what the ESPN commentators were suggesting once Angelo did his trick.
