Chris Gayle causes stir at Cricket World Cup

​West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle clearly didn’t read Optician’s recent guide to cricket eyewear

West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle clearly didn’t read Optician’s recent guide to cricket eyewear before the Windies’ group stage game against England last week.

Sporting an oversized single-piece visor sunglass, Gayle stepped over the boundary rope not just to field while wearing the fetching frames, but to bowl as well.

Ignoring all practical advice for best visual performance, Gayle’s frames were nonetheless warmly received by the crowd and social media. His gentle off-spin was warmly received by the England batsmen.
