Chris Gayle marks anniversary of 'don't blush, baby' incident

  • 16 reading now

A year on from the "Don't Blush Baby" controversy, West Indian cricketer Chris Gayle has posted a bizarre video on social media and told Australia to "lighten the ph--- up".

The powerful batsman posted a video on Instagram and a tweet, using a creative spelling of the expletive, which alluded to comments made to then-Channel 10 host Mel McLaughlin.

Plays of the Week

Punishing NFL hits, punishing cricket strokes and punishing tennis shots, it was a punishing seven days for the plays of the week.

Gayle caused a stir exactly a year ago when McLaughlin interviewed him after a Melbourne Renegades BBL game.

He asked McLaughlin whether she would be interested in getting a drink with him and then said "don't blush baby" when she became noticeably uncomfortable with his antics.

He was later fined $10,000 over the incident.

In the anniversary video Gayle can be seen in suggestive poses and simulating sex acts with a street dancer at a carnival.

The dancer at times appears uncomfortable with his actions.

His tweet which accompanied a link to the Instagram video read: "4th jan officially 1 year anniversary #DontBlushBaby - Australia lighten the ph---  up!!! ..."
