http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705 as a world-class bowler.
The 31-year-old made his way to international cricket in 2000 and immediately caught the attention of the cricket analysts. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stephen-Rodger-Waugh-c91216, the legendary Australian cricketer, was impressed by Samuels during the series between the two countries
in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, in 2000-01.
Unfortunately, Samuels’ career never got going at the ultimate level of the sport and the all-rounder had a lot of ‘highs and lows’ in the last 12 years. He also faced a two-year ban from the sport in 2008 because of his relations with
bookmakers.
However, since returning to international cricket in 2011, Samuels has been performing exceedingly well. In the going on-going Test series between West Indies and England, Samuels has led the visitors’ batting and has been at the peak
of his game.
Speaking to Dailymail, the middle-order batsman expressed that he admires http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390, Steve Waugh and Sachin Tendulkar, but made it clear that Hussain is his ideal. Samuels feels lucky that the former top-order batsman is commentating
in the series, presently going on in England.
“I have a few. Shiv, Steve Waugh and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, but Nasser has always been my No 1. It’s great to see him in the commentary box and I knew I had to come up as the trump card for him because he knows my story and knows I’ve been
through a lot,” Samuels said.
While talking about the English bowling attack, Samuels said that Anderson is one of the finest bowlers in the world, and feels that the 29-year-old has improved his game immensely over the years.
The all-rounder expressed, “I enjoy a challenge and Jimmy is a fantastic bowler. I remember hitting him over his head a few years ago but he has learnt so much and is the best bowler in England now.”
The limited-over series between England and West Indies will start from June 16th, 2012 at Southampton, and Samuels will look to take forward his form in the shorter versions of the sport.
