Sammy cracks me up. I aint seen a funnier cricketer since Courtney Walsh the batsman.
In yesterday's game, if Sammy promoted himself ahead of Russell, we woulda won. He's good at smashing senseless sixes.
Incidentally, Simmons has some beautiful cut and and square cut shots, but seems unable to play in the V, unless he is lofting or hooking.

Dernbach to Sammy, 1 run, , chaos! It was a superb bounce, first up, from Dernbach which hits Sammy in the chest.
He sets off for a run, Dernbach chases from cover then throws at the non-striker's stumps with no one there.
They try to steal an overthrow, but the return comes in and Morgan is at the stumps this time.
Simmons run out 69

No.
Sammy did the right thing to run out Simmons. Simmons strike rate was too slow for a T20 game, and he wasn't clearing the boundry as effortless as Sammy.
The problem was, Sammy didn't come in early enough, and the two other big hitters (Russell, Bravo) failed.
Ramdin surprises me. He's now a good Test, ODI and T20 player.
