A classy right-hander whose composed start to his
Test career prompted comparisons with Viv Richards. When Samuels
flew into Australia for the third Test of the 2000-01 series, he was
only 19 and had yet to represent his native Jamaica in a first-class
match. But he showed a beautifully balanced technique, standing
completely still at the crease and moving smoothly into his strokes
off either foot. His undistinguished offspin also claimed a couple
of wickets. Samuels exudes a bull-headed confidence - he used to
skip his schoolwork on the basis that exams were irrelevant to
future Test cricketers. That confidence/arrogance almost got him
sent home from India late in 2002, after he defied a team curfew -
but he was kept on, and responded with his a disciplined maiden Test
century, at Kolkata. But he struggled with both form and injury, and
was dropped after two poor home Tests against Sri Lanka in 2003
