Well said. Gayle's the type of player when he really gets going, he's unstoppable, but if he's struggling then he'll really struggle. Same applied to Tamim as well. That's what you have to expect from explosive opening batsmen. Even if they're not performing, they should still be in the team because once they hit form, they can really their team's cause.
