The weird world of West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle

West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle has been fined £4,900 for asking a TV reporter on a date during a live interview.

James Sutherland, Cricket Australia boss, said the game isn't a nightclub and is "actually a workplace".

Gayle makes no secret of his lavish lifestyle, with regular posts on social media featuring his mirrored ceiling and pole dancing room.

So let's take a visit to Chris Gayle's slightly weird world.

Last year on Instagram he showed off pictures of his "home-made strip club".

He then introduced his followers to the "Hanky Panky" bed, taking a selfie in the mirrored ceiling above for "whatever view of your choice".

Take a look at the mirrored ceiling, Gayle revealed to his followers on Instagram.

He also shared images of friends in his jacuzzi as he smoked a cigar.

His last Instagram post to feature a cricket bat was seven weeks ago - with 52 shots of his life of leisure since.

Gayle is pretty well known for commenting on his love of women - even those made of stone.

He found time to flirt with this statue in Paris.

'Breathtaking views'

He posts a lot from rooftops and loves a stunning view.

Gayle posted this amazing image of Montego Bay in his homeland of Jamaica.

And here he is in London overlooking the river.

Chris also likes to get philosophical - even when he's standing on his car bonnet.

"The most precious resource we all have is time," he wrote, standing on a Mercedes.

The West Indies cricketer took it all little too far while speaking to journalist Mel McLaughlin at a Big Bash League match in Hobart on Monday.

He told the Network Ten reporter: "To see your eyes for the first time is nice. Hopefully we can have a drink afterwards. Don't blush baby," during a live interview.

Mel said it was "a little bit disappointing".

James Sutherland from Cricket Australia said: "It's not a nightclub, and I think one of the things that perhaps hasn't dawned on everyone is it's actually a workplace."

"Anyone that sees the humour in that is misunderstanding and somewhat delusional about the situation."

Gayle had scored 41 in just 15 balls and his team, Melbourne Renegades, beat the Hobart Hurricanes by five wickets in Monday's T20 game.

He has since said he is sorry, but that the reaction was "out of proportion".

"There wasn't anything meant to be disrespectful or offensive to Mel. If she felt that way, I'm really sorry for that and that "it was a simple joke," Gayle added.

Piers Morgan, TV presenter and cricket fan, dismissed the comments as no more than "cheeky".

Piers Morgan got "outraged" about all the outrage.

The £4,900 fine will be donated to the McGrath Foundation, a breast cancer charity.
