Is This It For Samuels In Tests?

Guyanese Batsmen elegant as they can be 

appear to be lose it on approaching age 40 !

Elegance time is up !

obviously didnt live up to expectations.

Maron is like teflon. He somehow keeps getting selected, despite posting the lowest average by a Test batsman since 2013.

After the Test match against Zimbabwe in March 2013, Marlon's average stood at 37.54 (the highest since his fourth Test match against South Africa). Since then, he has averaged a woeful 25.02 in 48 innings.

Below is Marlon's career moving average. He has all but dropped off a cliff over the last 3 years.

Looking at his career numbers, we see that his overall career average of 32.64 is largely due to the 16 Tests between between March 2011-March 2013 in which he averaged 55.54. In his first 29 Tests, he averaged 28.73, and has averaged 25.02 in the 26 Tests since that 16 game purple patch.

If you were to remove those 16 Tests (of which 5 came against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe), his average is 26.92. His median average score is 17. 12% of his 127 innings have resulted in a duck and 62.4% have yielded a score under 30.

This is damning ! either Teflon OR an expert at staying under the Radar.

like antics during interviews and salutes on field of play , et cetera

that creates a good distraction from his stats!

no..not under no radar.  Samules is skams bwoy dats what.  not like Simmons, Sammy Bra Bits and Polly.  he is like whinds with skam..peas in a pod. 

di'ze why Samules skunt is still there... the Hillary Clinton of the west indies team..untouchable by executive support.  he finally refuse a contract.  this may be a step too fare for ole' skam.  Samules might be toast
