Ouch

Ouch. That hurt. Being sledged by a West Indian about your shallow spin-bowling stocks is a bit like having Gordon Ramsay question your manners. So writes Robert Craddock in the Daily Telegraph.
Chris Gayle had a mischievous grin on his face on Sunday when he likened facing Nathan Hauritz to facing himself. Clearly he does not rate either. Australian fans probably thought they would never see the day when West Indies would deride Australia's spin bowlers because they felt they have someone more threatening. But it's happened with the lanky Sulieman Benn and you can't hide from the truth ... Australia's spin bowlers don't scare people any more.
