That may even be a good topic for a piercing, risky newspaper column about prejudice and respect in Australian cricket. Mic’d up, pandered to, paid to strut about being Chris Gayle – Be cool for us! Be Jamaican! – it isn’t hard to see how an on-the-make, couldn’t-care-less cricketer might find himself acting out, egged on by hoots of studio laughter, a cartoonish ideal of the super-cool Caribbean man.

Such as, for example, the energetically caricatured way Australian TV has embraced Gayle from the start, a kind of aw-mate-just-luv-you-fellas tone that chimes eerily with the Bad Patois Take-Down itself. Famously, Marcel Proust wrote the original drafts of A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu in elegant, allusive Bad Jamaican Patois but ended up rewriting the whole thing in French on the advice of his editor.īeyond this the Bad Jamaican Patois Take-Down may even shine some unintentional light on one or two other things. We all have our own unpublished Bad Jamaican Patois novel in a drawer at home somewhere. First it was a clear breach of my own strict Bad Jamaican Patois code, which states that if you ever look down at your screen and see not only a couple of lines of Bad Jamaican Patois or an intro, but an entire rambling page of Bad Jamaican Patois something, somewhere has gone wrong. To be fair there were two interesting things about the Bad Jamaican Patois Take-Down.
