Mumbai: The West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell said it "wasn't good" on compatriot Marlon Samuels' part to address a press conference with his padded up legs on the table, after their World T20 triumph early this month.
"A lot of people ask me if he (Samuels) is from Jamaica. He is from Jamaica, but he is a different Jamaican. He is a confident fellow. He has won the World T20 twice, as you know... He played a tremendous knock against Sri Lanka in 2012 and he had done it again in the final against England this year," Russell said.
"I heard that when he went for the post match press conference, he did put his feet up. I don't know how to explain that, but it wasn't good," he said when asked about Samuel's act after World T20 final.
"But at the same time, being a world champion for me was a very good feeling. The feeling just continues...but then cricket goes on. I did celebrate for a week and then that's it.
"Then straight into the IPL... That was hilarious from Marlon," Russell added.
Talking about Kolkata Knight Riders's good run so far in the IPL IX, Russell said: "IPL has been good for us. Can't complain... We have won four and lost one.
"We want to keep the momentum going and keep the winning spree intact. Am happy to be with the team. Its a wonderful environment. I am relaxed, composed. I don't want to be too excited and then not do well after that.
"We want to play positive and want to go step by step and win the title."
Australian spinner Brad Hogg said he was impressed with Sunil Narine, who made a good comeback after being cleared by the International Cricket Council, following correction of his bowling action.
"Sunil (Narine) did really work hard on his action. He deserves a lot of respect... He has been under fire. I don't want to be too liberal about it. But he has rectified himself and got a fantastic action now.," he said. (PTI)
