Among the many part-time bowlers that the West Indies have had over the past decade or so, Marlon Samuels is probably the best and throughout his career, his bowling has added a new dimension to their attack.

Samuels, like most part-time bowlers, has had a bigger contribution in limited overs cricket and his accurate, fairly quick off-spin bowling is often very hard to get away.

In addition to this, he is one of those rare spinners who can actually bowl yorkers. An economy rate of 4.81 in 190 ODIs is a testament to his prowess as a bowler in limited overs cricket. He does not, however, bowl as regularly in T20 cricket.
