Two seasons back his grouse was not being sent in at No 4; DK did send him ahead the following year, he still did not succeed. Midway that year the franchise replaced DK by Eoin as skipper but Russel did not still succeed. This year Eoin dropped him back to No5/6 and he did not succeed except on the odd occasion. So now the excuse is the "bubble" High time KKR drops him and finds a better hitter.
