Don't think Russell enjoyed that one as much as the first match.

lol not quite though he did manage to inflict some handy damage at the end with the bat even though he only made 16 or whatever it was. One of his sixes was a ‘you have to see it to believe it’ shot. If you haven’t watched it, he basically set up to play it where he usually does over mid wicket, the bowler (Mills?) went wide and Russell got basically wrong footed and ended up on one leg falling over towards point and pretty much by the time he hit it had both feet off the ground and forehanded it over cover.Don't think Russell enjoyed that one as much as the first match.
Is Tymal Mills any good anymore. I thought he was just a gun for hire these days
West Indies cant play half decent spin in this format of the game.
Ali clean bowls Brandon King 1st over in Game 3
wow Phil Salt and Harry Brook. I fell asleep through that chase. What a chase
Add Will Jacks to that White Ball Trash Pile list as well. His t20 batting record domestically isn’t THAT bad but it definitely doesn’t demand selection and he shouldn’t be playing ODI cricket either as a batsman or the pretense of being an all rounder
they just want to play their franchise cricket and milk the T10 gravy trainThe Cricket WI press release says:
"NOTE: Jason Holder, Kyle Mayers and Nicholas Pooran declined the offer of central contracts but confirmed their availability for all West Indies T20 Internationals during the contract year."
So I'd say it doesn't look good for anything outside T20s.

People don't realise smaller cricketing nations make **** all compared to others. One of the Kiwi opening batsman from the last tour here worked at an accounting firm when not playing for NZ, meanwhile we have test only players like Lyon and Khawaja who make a heap just from one format.Translation: their home board is among the poorest on the planet and can’t give them a real living.
I WANT them playing for my team and taking a central contract, make no mistake, and I’m disappointed.
But dismissing this as ‘getting on the gravy train’ is as stupid as it is uninformed.
These guys make f**k-all from playing international cricket mate.
It feels like the fringe players are already doing that eg Chris Greens, Daniel Sams, Chris Lynns, Tim David to name a fewAs if Australian players wouldn't do the same if they made bugger all playing for their country.
Yeah I think if they don't see a future in longer form cricket, they can be a T20 'mercenary' and play in all the leagues all year round without being bound to CA, understandably too, can make a lot of money that way.It feels like the fringe players are already doing that eg Chris Greens, Daniel Sams, Chris Lynns, Tim David to name a few
Guys that havent been quite good enough to do it internationally for their country. I dont know the exact money but if the talk about some of these leagues around the world are paying more than BBL, I could understand why.
