5. Chris Gayle vs England (5 runs)

Chris Gayle

What is special about this effort from Chris Gayle is the fact that England lost 3 wickets in the final over. Alec Stewart was on the other end unbeaten on 100 and left stranded there watching his teammates mess up the chase. Paul Franks was run out of the first ball trying to take a single and give the strike back to Stewart. Then Chris Gayle shattered the stumps of Darren Gough on the 3rd ball of the over following it by trapping Alan Mullally on the final delivery to win the game for West Indies by 5 runs. Yes, you should feel bad for Alec Stewart who scored a wonderful century and still ended up witnessing his team lost standing just 22 yards away.
