http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754, which saw him claiming a vital 4 for 45 at the Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica on July 5, claiming that he was glad to have had an immediate impact
on returning the team.
“I'm happy with the way I bowled. It was good to come back into the team after I missed the T20 series in Florida and make an impression right away,” Russell said.
The 24-year-old last played an ODI series for the national squad against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in March this year, claiming 2 for 34 in the 4th one-day (which resulted in a 42-run win for his side), and 4 for 61 in the final ODI. He then went on to have a
fairly mediocre stint with the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils during the 2012 edition of the Indian Premier League, before returning to national duties.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Middlesex-c817 on June 13 at Lord’s, during which he claimed 2 for 19. However, he did not feature throughout most of the series, barring the
first ODI against the Poms on June 16 at Southampton, during which he claimed 0 wickets and conceded 43 runs.
He was also not present during the Windies’ 2-match T20 series against New Zealand in Florida, which http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382’s men swept 2-0. However, coming in to the 5-match ODI series his team is playing on home ground against the Kiwis, Russell made a swift impression
by claiming 4 scalps during the first one-day, which proved instrumental for his team’s eventual 9-wicket win against the Black Caps.
The right-armer dismissed the entire top order – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KD-Mills-c1781. His showing won him the Player of the Match award, in addition to praise from the skipper.
“Very pleasing (Russell's performance),” observed Darren Sammy. “For a long time we have been struggling with the bat, and it is nice to see us winning by nine wickets.”
Russell will have yet another opportunity to prove his worth and contribute to guiding the team to the series win they have set their sights on, in the second match of the series, due to be played at the same venue on July 7.
