    Intro

    Marlon Samuels is quite simply one of the hottest cricketers in the world at the moment.

    Fresh from a man-of-the-match winning 78 from 56 balls that led the West Indies to the 2012 ICC World T20 trophy, Samuels is sure to excite Renegades fans in BBL|02 with his ability to clear the fence from the number 3 spot.

    Marlon ended the tournament in Sri Lanka as its third highest run scorer, while his 15 sixes was second only to international teammate and Sydney Thunder star Chris Gayle.

    Samuels’ underrated offies are also expected to come in handy in the middle overs, while his brilliant athleticism in the field belies his cool West Indian swagger.

    The Jamaican is also certain to bring an air of confidence to the Renegades, if the rumour he often skipped schoolwork because it was ‘irrelevant for future Test cricketers’ is anything to go by!

     


    "Marlon will provide some much-needed firepower at the top of the order and brings a certain X-factor to the team" Simon Helmot, Melbourne Renegades Head Coach
