The thing is, this is nothing new with Mr Gayle, propositioning female reporters with his caveman behaviour. And of course he will basically escape any significant censure as long as he continues smashing balls in the pavilions. And we will continue to cheer him wildly. We are all complicit in this chap's behaviour.

MOUNTAIN OUT OF MOLE HILL!
nobody got hurt, there was no victim and no crime perpetrated..only a breach of professional ethics... for which a simple note of the need to maintain professionalism at all times, and fine equal to the deed..say 1500.00. and that would be that.
all of this talk is way out of proportion and I hope it is not because Gayle is a black man...who by any evidence I can see...and I have known Gayle for 20 years now..is no Caveman.

My experience with Australian people is this. .I work with a few. They are a stuck up kind with very little sense of humor.

As I've said previously, it might not have been great timing for Gayle but to make such a fuss out of what happened is going a bit over the top in my opinion and the whole situation could have been handled a lot better on all sides I would have thought.
