5 facts about Darren Sammy that you probably didn't know

Fastest half-century striker for West Indies in limited over cricket

Not many know that the ever-smiling West Indian cricketer holds the record for striking the fastest fifty for the West Indies in limited overs cricket. The year was 2010 and West Indies’ opponents were the South Africans. Then, still rising in a newfound cricketing unit, Sammy on a flat Antigua batting surface had a thing or two to say with the bat.

Striking a glorious 58 of just 20 balls, Sammy smashed 6 boundaries and 2 amazing sixes to launch an avalanche of meaty strokes surprising the likes of Gayle, Bravo and Sarwan with his batting abilities against a South African attack that featured Styen and Morkel.
