What a great celebration when he takes a wicket.
Hope to see him in full flow (weather permitting) against Sri Lanka at Chester le Street soon.

I find his celebration totally unnecessary and a bit disrespectful personally.

He's in the military services and has to ask his commander for time off to play for the West Indies. The salute is his thank you for that permission being given, so exactly the opposite of being disrespectful. Seems like he really enjoys himself too, I like watching him.

Saluting is fair enough, but he salutes the batsmen not his teammates which is out of order. Run over and celebrate with your slips and keeper by all means but no need to do it to the batsmen. Clearly riles other players as well, as players have gave him send offs themselves in response, like stokes did.

Not so sure about that, he saluted then applauded Williamson's innings when he got him out today. I really don't think he's trying to wind batsmen up.

He doesn’t salute the batsman at all. He literally turns in the other direction away from the batsman then does the salute.

Got no other comment on a great game of cricket ?
Bit precious aren't you ? Nothing wrong with the salute especially when he followed up with clapping Williamson off
 
I don’t mind it, it’s not meant to be an insult to the batsmen. Seems like a genuine lad really taking the chance he’s been given and enjoying it.

It was funny earlier this year when Buttler gave him the cheeky salute back mind :lol:

Got a ticket yesterday for the CLS game, if the Mrs is working I’ll probably jump on the rattler for a day out.
