‘Y'all can kiss my black rass’: Controversial Chris Gayle fires Big Bash parting shot at critics
West Indian batsman unleashes rant against ‘haters’, including former England captain and TV commentator Andrew Flintoff
Controversial West Indian batsman Chris Gayle has hit back at critics of his allegedly sexist behaviour, telling them to kiss his “Black Rass”.
His Twenty20 team Melbourne Renegades fined the star opener US$7,000 two weeks ago after an attempt to flirt with a female presenter on live TV was condemned as “completely out of line” by Cricket Australia.
Gayle told the Renegades’ website after his final game that he would like to return for next season’s Big Bash League, where he has been one of the top scorers.
I think a lot of past and present cricketers who smile in front my face could have there (sic) say in the public when my so call issue was going on, but y’all don't have the BALLs to stand firm when it matters
“Definitely - always got a soft spot for Australia,” he said.
“And the fans here have been very supportive. They have been really, really tremendous.
“Hopefully I get a chance to entertain you guys again.”
However, he also unleashed a rant against “haters” on Instreaming amid questions over whether he has played his last innings in Australia.
