Chris Gayle fined for ‘inappropriate conduct’
during the Big Bash League match between the Brisbane Heat and the Melbourne Renegades at The Gabba on December 19, 2015 in Brisbane, Australia.
CHRIS Gayle has been fined £4900 by the Melbourne Renegades for “inappropriate conduct” after he asked a journalist for a date live on TV.
Gayle was speaking to reporter Mel McLaughlin following his dismissal against the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash.
Gayle said: “To see your eyes for the first time is nice. Hopefully we can have a drink afterwards. Don’t blush baby.”
The West Indian has apologised but believes the reaction was “out of proportion”, adding: “There wasn’t anything meant to be disrespectful or offensive to Mel. If she felt that way, I’m really sorry for that.
