Congratulations Marlon Samuels on Your Mammoth Test Double Hundred!

[Sohel]

Debuted as a highly promising young player in late 2000 but those high expectations were rarely met. He was eventually dropped in 2008 after 7 years of what many felt to be chronic underachievement.

Then he made a comeback in 2011 as a somewhat better player until finally turning the proverbial corner this year. 2012 has been simply awesome for him and today's 260, though not chanceless, has been pure class. I hope and pray that his 2012 form continues until the end of his career.

Congratulations Marlon Samuels on your first test double hundred. May this be the first of many ...
