"Good luck Dominic Cork. God go with you."

So said 'Universe Boss' Chris Gayle as he prepared to face Sky Sports Cricket's Dominic Cork in the nets at Indore - and with good reason.

While Corky has not bowled for six years, Gayle remains one of the biggest hitters in the game and with a strike-rate of 161 for Kings XI Punjab in this year's tournament, was not likely to let the former England and Derbyshire seamer off lightly.

Nevertheless Cork, now 46, decided to test his ability to swing a new white ball against the mighty power of Gayle even though the Windies star was brandishing a brand new, springy bat.

Here's a hint from Gayle: "He's got legs like a giraffe - coming to bowl to the Gayle-force? Good luck buddy, good luck. I'm sorry for those guys in the top tier."
