Cricket fans are aware of West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell's trademark salute send-off. Funnily, the pacer got a taste of his own medicine against England.

After getting the wicket of English captain Eoin Morgan (103), Cottrell gave the centurion a salute before he walked off. That was the only wicket the pacer got in the match. Morgan, before getting dismissed, stitched up a partnership with Jos Buttler of 204 runs in 124 deliveries. The two absolutely killing it against the Windies bowling attack.

Buttler scored 150 runs in just 77 deliveries. In his destructive innings, the English batter hit 12 sixes and 13 fours. 

Out of the 12 sixes, the one which entertained fans the most was the 10th one. There was nothing special about the six, but what followed after the big hit left everyone laughing. 

After spanking the ball over the boundary line, Buttler gave Cottrell a salute with a smile on his face. That wouldn't have been a pleasant sight for the pacer.

The game was won by England by 29 runs and Buttler was adjudged Player of the Match. It wasn't a cakewalk for England despite putting up a huge score of 418/6. With 3 overs left, West Indies needed just 32 runs with four wickets in hand and two set batsmen in the middle.

What turned the game, in fact, finished the game was Adil Rashid's over where the hosts lost all their remaining four wickets in just five balls to give England a lead of 2-1 in the ODI series.
