I guess the bigger question is why is Gayle the subject of the interview to begin with? He isn't the best Windies player. He isn't a generational player. Perhaps he is the best quote for a media outlet?<br><br>
Given the nature of the publication it is quite clear as MajorRage says. -

<p>How's that relevant ? are the media not going to bother interviewing Kieran Read after a test cos he's not as good as Richie McCaw was ?</p> -

It was speaking to my point that Gayle (and his comments) would be of the most value to the media outlet rather than his talent as a cricketer. Despite being a former circketer herself the journo seems to be more interested in Gayles sexual history.<br><br>
It was a totally stich up based on trying to get him to reprise his big bash comments. -

<p>What horseshit. My argument, which rests on a logical conclusion, is that he was setup based on his previous form. A very large and significant part of that previous form, being the interview with Mel McLaughlin.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If I have missed the part in that this interview was prior to the MelMcLaughlin saga, then you have a point. If I haven't, then you don't.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think anybody that thinks a female reporter wasn't chucked in front of him, in the hope that he would say something to make a dickhead of himself, is being naive.</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Once again, I have absolutely no grasp of what point you are trying to make. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I concede, you are clearly smarter than me when it comes to use of the English language.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The way I see it is:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Historically, a guy has made a dickhead of himself in front a female reporter. It wouldn't have happened if the reporter was male.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Subsequently, a magazine has sent a female reporter to interview him again. In my view, they did this on purpose in the hope that he would make a dickhead of himself again. Which he clearly did.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, given the above, please take the time to explain the fallacy, how my premise relies on my conclusion, and I have no evidence? I've already conceded that you are much smarter than me, so please try and take it down to my level.</p> -

<p>I 100% from the bottom of my heart, no longer give a fuck.</p> -
The issue I have with whole thing, is here is a guy 36 years old, he's had his first child barely a month ago. This is a life changing experience, but it seems he would rather tell everyone he's got a massive dick.<br><br>
I think the mother of his daughter deserves a bit more than that. -

<p>Lets be honest here, if your dick was truly massive you'd probably mention it every time you got interviewed.</p> -

Methinks Gayle is overcompensating. I bet he has a powerful red sports car too. -
<p>Some quotes from Gayle himself in his autobiography</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These comments pertain to the Mel interview thing: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/1018659.html'>http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/1018659.html</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:georgia;font-size:16px;">Despite the controversy that ensued, Gayle remains unrepentant five months down the line. "Now T20 is different," he writes, in a serialised extract of his book </span><i>Six Machine</i><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:georgia;font-size:16px;">, published in the </span><i>Times</i><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:georgia;font-size:16px;">. "It's not Test cricket. It's chilled and fun and let's do things different. So when Mel asks me that question I stay in the T20 mind, and answer informal and fun. I meant it as a joke. I meant it as a little fun. I didn't mean to be disrespectful and I didn't mean it to be taken serious."</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:georgia;font-size:16px;">As Gayle noted, Network Ten's commentary team could be heard laughing on air after the incident. "But someone up above them clearly decided to step in, and a throwaway comment in a fun format escalates and blows up and within hours it has turned into a major international incident," he wrote. </span></p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">I quite like the last comments and am always astonished by comments imparting judgements and standards of behaviour on other people they've never met.</span></span></p> -

<p>Are you suggesting you don't judge people, or that you're astonished at yourself when you do?</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Why? If another person falls short of what I consider acceptable behaviour, am I not allowed to say so?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't have to meet someone before I can judge their behaviour, especially when that behaviour is broadcast live on Channel 10.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't hate Chris Gayle. I love watching him play cricket. But 'honest' or not, he's a bit of a creep.</p>
