Andre Russell has always struck me as a useless batter and a useless bowler, so at least he's providing some lols, and sure enough his stumps got cleaned up by Watson after 3 balls when he went in to bat.
The amazing thing is that so many people defend this, comparing to a batter switch hitting etc. You may as well moan about a better being able to bat the whole innings but a bowler having limited overs etc - it's like some people don't realise that batting and bowling is not the same.
What he did is like acting like a ball has hit the boundary, then kind of lobbing the ball back to the middle hoping to run out the batter if he wanders up the wicket. Is that really what people want to see?
