Intro:

West Indies top scorer Chris Gayle said his team did not expect to score so highly in their win against Australia in the semi-finals of the ICC World Twenty20 in Colombo on Friday.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Chris Gayle, West Indies:
"We didn't expect that sort of big total today to be honest with you. But we give thanks to actually reach that target. Watching the game, you know, it was a slow track. We know that spinners were going to play a part. But I think what helped for us was that we capitalised on the bad balls and put their spinner on a bit of pressure which actually paid off for us. We had a bit of power there which helped us as well there so to get that target was very very good. We were looking for a target of around 150, 160 so to get 40 runs extra it's a bonus for us."

SOUNDBITE (English) George Bailey, Australia captain:
"If we were sitting here and it had been a really close game maybe. But I just feel like we got completely outplayed by a better team tonight. So perhaps (finishing in the top) four is a pass. It stings that we haven't won this tournament. I think Australian cricket is very proud of what it has achieved and we haven't won a Twenty20 tournament so that hurts but I think all you can do in Twenty20 is give yourself a chance to get to the knockout stages and then play your best cricket."

SOUNDBITE (English) Chris Gayle, West Indies (asked about his dance):
"I have seen the video (Gangnam Style) a couple of months ago since it came out and there was a big talk about it when I was back home. I saw it on a lot of programmes - that was how I got into it to be honest with you. I watched the video and it just happened to be honest with you. It wasn't really planned. That's me it depends what type of mood I am in. I just do something crazy and then eventually I just work with it to be honest. It's a good dance to be honest with you. I enjoy it. Everyone enjoy it."
