While there’s nothing wrong with asking a lady out, there’s something inherently wrong with doing it when the lady in question is going about her job and embarrassing her in front of millions of viewers.

If Chris Gayle really needed a date, he should have walked down to the nearest bar after the game, and tried to chat up someone there.

Does he know Mel McLaughlin well enough that he felt he could do something so crazy and simply laugh it off?

If he really, desperately needed to ask Mel out, he could simply have done it on a one-to-one basis, in a more private setting.

And what’s this crap about “pockets empty” on Instagram? We get it, the $10,000 fine is just a drop in the ocean for you.

Pockets are empty so @djbravo47 paying the dinner bill tonight … Let's roll DJ. #Champion

I was one of Chris’ supporters when he was having trouble with the West Indies Cricket Board. I couldn’t believe they would leave a player who has two triple centuries out of their Test side. It’s not as though the Windies have been churning out Brian Lara clones since his exit from the game.

There was a time when he was flirting with the idea of publishing an autobiography, but decided against it. I agree it was a bad idea, best left until he retired from the game – after all, why rile colleagues while you’re still playing?

Instead, Gayle has riled his fans. I’m sure that autobiography will be all the more anticipated when it finally hits the stands.
