Marlon Nathaniel Samuels (born 5 February 1981) is a
Jamaican cricketer who plays internationally for the
West Indies. He is a right-handed middle order batsman and an off-spinner. Samuels made his Test debut in Australia in 2000, and his
One Day International debut against Sri Lanka in
Nairobi during the
ICC Knockout Trophy in the same year. He was a member of the West Indies team that won the
2012 ICC World Twenty20. In 2013, he was named one of the
Wisden cricketers of the year.
[1] He was one of the franchise players for the inaugural
Caribbean Premier League.
[2]
Career
Samuels scored his maiden Test hundred at Kolkata against the Indians
in 2002/03. His innings of 104 helped the West Indies to draw the 3rd
Test and was made against the likes of
Javagal Srinath,
Anil Kumble and
Harbhajan Singh.
His first ODI ton came in the series which followed and turned out to
be a series winning innings. With the series level at 3–3 going into the
final match at Vijayawada on 24 November 2002, Samuels smacked 108 not
out off just 75 balls. The West Indies finished with 315 and went on to
win by 135 runs.
During the West Indies
tour of Australia,
on 9 October 2005 Samuels registered his highest first-class score with
an innings of 257. It was made in a tour match against
Queensland at the Gabba. His effort was a record score at the ground, beating
Martin Love's 250. Showing his allround abilities, he followed it up with 5 wickets in the next innings.
[3][4] He played in two Tests on the tour, with a highest score of 29, before he was sent home with a knee injury.
[5]
Against Pakistan at Multan in late 2006, Samuels scored his second
ODI century. His unbeaten 100 led the West Indies to victory as they
successfully chased the Pakistani total. He fell just short of another
century a month later against the Indians in Chennai but his quick fire
98 helped his side chase down India's 268. Samuels also played as part
of the
Pro Cricket league in the United States for the
Chicago Tornadoes.
In January 2007, Samuels was named man of the match after scoring 94
and 40 in the first Test against South Africa in Port Elizabeth, a match
the West Indies won by 128 runs. He went on to score his second Test
hundred, in the final match, hitting 105 although it wasn't enough for
his side to win the match or the series. Samuels was involved in the
run-out of
Brian Lara in his last international match, against England during the
2007 World Cup. Lara was on 18, when Samuels signalled for a quick run but was unable to reach the other wicket in time as
Kevin Pietersen underarmed the ball to hit the stumps. After the World Cup, the West Indies
toured England in May. Unexpectedly Samuels was not initially included in the squad for the Test leg,
[6] but was called up as a replacement when
Ramnaresh Sarwan suffered an injury.
[7]
On 4 July Samuels made 77 runs from 104 balls against England in the
second Natwest ODI. He and Shivnarine Chanderpaul scored a record third
wicket partnership of 175 runs at Edgbaston in a game West Indies won.
Ban (2008–2010)
On 25 February 2008 Samuels was suspended from bowling in
international cricket until he corrects his bowling action, which has
been deemed suspect.
[8]
Indian police accused Samuels of giving out team information to a known
bookie prior to the 1st ODI between the West Indies and India in Nagpur
on 21 January 2007. It was claimed that they have taped telephone
conversations between a bookmaker, Mukesh Kochchar, and Samuels.
[9] The transcript was later released by the police.
[10]
After a hearing into the matter, in May the International Cricket
Council enforced a two-year ban on the 27-year-old for "receiving money,
or benefit or other reward that could bring him or the game of cricket
into disrepute".
[11] Samuels maintained his innocence.
[citation needed]
Return (2010–present)
Samuels' two-year ban expired on 9 May 2010, and he subsequently returned to playing for Jamaica. West-Indian chief selector
Clyde Butts stated that the door was open for Samuels to serve the
West Indies in international cricket provided that he proved himself on the domestic circuit.
[12] During the
2011 World Cup in February and March, all-rounder
Dwayne Bravo
suffered an injury and the West Indies Cricket Board asked Samuels to
fly out to act as a replacement. Samuels declined, stating that he did
not yet feel ready, but that he was targeting a return during
India's tour of the West Indies in June and July.
[13] The West Indies were knocked out in the quarter finals of the World Cup, and in the team's first engagement after was
hosting Pakistan
in April and May. When the T20I squad was announced four uncapped
players were included and Samuels was recalled, marking a return to the
squad for the first time since the expiration of his ban.
[14] Samuels returned to the Test side for the second Test and scored a half-century in his first innings.
[15]
The
Bangladesh Cricket Board founded the six-team
Bangladesh Premier League in 2012, a twenty20 tournament to be held in February that year.
[16] An auction was held for teams to buy players,
[17] and Samuels was bought by the
Duronto Rajshahi for $360,000.
[18] He was the team's highest run-scorer with 242 from 11 innings in the competition.
[19] In February 2012, Samuels signed a contract with
Pune Warriors India to play for them in the 2012 and 2013
Indian Premier League (IPL).
[20]
The 2012 IPL clashed with Australia's tour of the West Indies, and
Samuels was granted permission to skip the three Test series and play in
the league.
[21]
During the tournament he was reported for having a suspect bowling
action, and suspended from bowling in the rest of the competition.
[22]
Samuels was selected in the West Indies Test squad to tour England after the IPL.
[21] In the first Test Samuels combined with Chanderpaul in a 157-run stand.
[23]
However, with England batting on the final day to win the match Samuels
was asked to bowl. His part-time off spin was called upon as the West
Indies had entered the match without a specialist spinner, while
Shannon Gabriel was injured and
Fidel Edwards ineffective.
[24] Samuels scored his third Test century in his next innings,
[25] and combined with captain
Darren Sammy to score 204 runs, the second-highest partnership for the West Indies' seventh wicket.
[26]
In October 2012 he was selected for the
Melbourne Renegades in the 2012/2013
Big Bash T20 League.
[27]
2012 and 2016 ICC World Twenty20
Samuels was named man of the match in the final of the
2012 ICC World Twenty20,
in which the West Indies beat Sri Lanka by 36 runs to claim the title.
He scored 78 off 56 balls, an innings which included six sixes and three
fours. Samuels was also named man of the match in the final of the 2016
ICC World Twenty20 in which he scored an unbeaten 85 off 66 balls to
help West Indies beat England by 4 wickets and capture their second
World Twenty20 title.
[28] [29][30]
Personal life
He is the younger brother of
Robert Samuels, also a West Indian cricketer.
