Caribbean Premier League 2017: 5 marquee players who failed in the first week

#4 Marlon Samuels- St Lucia Stars

Marlon Samuels has struggled to get runs in the tournament

There’s no doubt in Marlon Samuel’s ability with the willow. However, inconsistent performances and unwanted scandals have marred his cricketing career. He is currently representing the St Lucia Stars and has been disappointing for them.

The Stars have played 3 games in the event and Samuels could only garner 32 runs at an average of 10.66 with 13 being his top-score. In the Stars opening game against the Trinbago Knight Riders, Samuels scorched a couple of boundaries, but gave his wicket away to Kevon Cooper.

In the next game, Sunil Narine foxed him with a ball that turned sharply and crashed on to the stumps. Against the Tridents, the West Indian started off aggressively only to gift his wicket through a mediocre stroke of Wayne Parnell.
