- Gayle wins defamation case against Fairfax media
by Dwight Fraser October 30th, 2017
West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle has won his defamation case against Fairfax Media, which published articles claiming he exposed himself to a female masseuse two years ago.
Gayle and his supporters congratulated each other in court as the jury of four announced their unanimous verdict after deliberating for two hours at Sydney’s King Street court complex.
The star all-rounder sued the company after it published a series of articles claiming he had exposed himself to a woman working “around” the West Indies team in Sydney in 2015.
The woman, team masseuse Leanne Russell, stood by the allegations in her evidence to the court but Gayle insisted it never happened.
It is unclear how much money the cricketer will seek in compensation.
Outside court, Fairfax Media’s lawyer Matthew Collins QC said he was “shocked and disappointed” at the decision.
“It will cost the company a lot of money unless we can reverse it on appeal,” he said.
In a statement, a Fairfax Media spokesperson said the company was “seriously considering its appeal rights” after a failed bid to get the jury discharged on Friday.
“Fairfax Media is concerned with the conduct of the trial,” the spokesperson said.
During the hearing, Ms Russell told the court that Gayle lowered his towel, partially exposing himself , in the changerooms at Sydney’s Drummoyne Oval during a training session in February 2015.
She said she was “very upset” and cried uncontrollably after leaving the room.
Ms Russell said she contacted The Age newspaper last year because she was angered by a live TV interview in which Gayle told a reporter; Don’t blush Baby
The greatest odi innings of all time. Consider the match situation with 9 wickets down. Only a genius like sir Viv, can bat like this . This innings is a timeless classic, and it's now 39 years later, and the last wicket partnership with Holding still stands. 👏 . BRILLIANT AND CANNOT BE MATCH.
I was a 12 year old lad, on a trip to Cromer with mother and father on this day. On the wireless it said the Windies were 9 down, an hour later they said Viv finished on 189. Very special innings from the great man
I remember watching this great innings from a hospital bed after i'd broken my leg on a portable tv and i said at the time as a 18 year old it was the best i'd ever seen Viv Richards play
Still the best ODI century of all time.
A great ovation. The narrator was right, it was a privilege. I remember watching it on TV with my father and it was sound of ball on Viv's bat that set him apart.
Would have been no.1. batsmen in today's cricketing world also. All proper cricketing shots. Superb eyesight with equally brutal muscle power
One of the greatest one-day cricket innings; by great Sir Vivian Richards.
What a beautiful moment between Botham and Richards at 2.50! What sport especially cricket should be about. Two men with such regard for each other, competing with utmost respect.
I recall watching this very match and wondering how it was possible for England to win after Sir Viv mullered Botham so comprehensively. Awesome to see again. In truth it did put me off watching cricket for a long time - because Viv made it look so easy. Great to see it again. Thank you very much. :)
What an inning from the Genius ! Worth Watching.
Thank you very much publisher. It's was fantastic. A joy to watch. Keep up the good work.
I remembered this innings as a 9 year old, richards is without doubt one of the greatest batsmen ever to play the game, 2nd only to Gary sobers
Title is misrepresenting.
One of the best batsman in the world sir &also we are enjoying old footage 👍👍👍
Greatest ODI innings ever!
Ferrari Bugatti Rolls-Royce BMW Mercedes of Batting. Got gifted Amazing Reflexes Phenomenal Awesome Super Duper Mesmerizing skills Animal instincts Arrogance.The Undisputed King of Cricket. The Chewing Gum , the walk the swag, the style the class. Till today and never ever will there be a player who will dominate worlds best fearsome bowlers the way he destroyed murdered them especially the best bowlers of the world who were given great respect and treatment. Playing with modern bats solid protective gears sophisticated protection gadgets refined pitches and then playing without helmets protective gears uncured rough uneven pitches its like earth and sky distance. I have played season cricket myself and I know exactly what it means. No current stars of today and batsmen since cricket began who are breaking records in runs can even dare to do what these players have achieved in those times and years which have passed by. It needs a lot of bravery courage brilliance fearless approach determination and infinite aggression. The only other best example would be Mike Tyson intimidating animal instincts destroying the oppositions causing terror fear in them. No limitations of bouncers and yet walk with that chewing gum , the style the swagger, the arrogance, destroy bowlers all around the world anywhere any location any time..that's my and my fathers favorite Sir Viv Richards . The game changed to the 5th Gear the moment Viv started just walking to the batting crease. it was game on very intimidating for all bowlers and fielders especially the best bowler they had and fielders if they may miss drop his catch ....I am here to destroy you all show me what you have got to the bowlers and opposition. We always prayed that Greenidge or Haynes get out quickly as We enjoyed Viv destroy bowling like T20 about 30-35 years back unbelievable batting hitting cleanly & yet very stylish absolutely brilliant and stunning a treat to watch. If anyone has not seen Viv Richards destroy oppositions and the most feared bowlers of the world then I am very sorry to tell you that you have not seen the best ever possible batting in cricket.
I remember this match very well. The joyous disbelief at seeing WIndies lose so many cheap wickets, followed by the even greater disbelief that anyone could play such an incredible innings...already when the score passed 200, we knew England would lose, and so we just sat back and cheered for Sir Viv
I remember this summer Inbetween working in Royston and starting college at Birmingham Poly. Happy times!
Watch Botham's exasperation at @
Forget innings of the year...try greatest ODI innings ever
