Gayle’s Gangnam style as Windies win 2012 T20

So in a short chase like that, I don't know if Samuels did it to Sri Lanka in the first innings, but...

It was unusual for someone to come and smack sixes and change the game in a final like that.

Whereas now a short chase, it's one innings from someone with these deep batting lineups that teams have that wins you that game.

But I went, I mean, blow my own trumpet, but...

I bowled all of my overs that I could have done in the tournament and I didn't get hit for one six in the entire tournament.

I think the way that players are viewed and the way that you, not behave, because you don't go out to misbehave, but it's just you have your guardrails up the whole time, I think now.

Test Match Special

And yeah, that was a time when that wasn't so prevalent.
