All eyes were on West Indies and Zimbabwe on Day 11 of the Cricket World Cup, and while it may not be one of the glamour ties of the pool stage, those in attendance at the Manuka Oval were treated to something special from Chris Gayle.
The Windies opener bagged the highest-ever individual score at a World Cup with a magnificent 215 against the Africans, helping his team to a whopping first-innings score of 372-2. Marlon Samuels also scored a century, and it was a total Zimbabwe scarcely looked likely to threaten as they fell 79 runs short of a revised target of 363.
Read on for a look at how this gripping encounter changes things in the shake-up to qualify for the quarter-finals, the fixtures to come and a closer examination of a record-breaking day in Canberra.
