Triple Olympic and world champion sprinter Usain Bolt has shown he's no slouch on the cricket field in a charity match in Jamaica.

Before the tournament Bolt said cricket had always been his first love and he showed just how capable he was in coming off a long runup to bowl West Indies opening batsman Chris Gayle, having earlier delighting a packed crowd by smashing his Jamaican compatriot for a straight six.
