Charles in charge

Johnson?Charles?is gradually making a name for himself while emerging from the shadows of his more illustrious West Indies opening partner Chris Gayle.
The powerfully built St Lucian right-hander has been in a rich vein of form, reeling off two back-to-back hundreds and two half-centuries in his last seven One-day Internationals for the regional cricket side.
After smashing tons off Australia and Zimbabwe in February, Charles barely missed out on a third ODI ton this year on Sunday, when he was out for 97.
His knock helped the Windies eke out a thrilling one-wicket victory over the new ICC Champions India at Sabina Park in Jamaica.
Here, Charles nonchalantly hitting down the ground for one of his four sixes. (EZS)
