The match in a tweet: Marlon the match-winner! Samuels stars as the Windies cruise to upset victory against Australia in St Kitts. The result: Australia 7-265 (Khawaja 98, Smith 74, Bailey 55) lost to West Indies 6-266 (Samuels 92, Charles 48, Zampa 2-60) by four wickets. The hero: After having a terrible time in Australia last summer, Marlon Samuels was the match-winner for the West Indies here with a composed innings of 92 from 87 balls to steer his side to a comprehensive victory. The hero of the World T20 final, Samuels built on a strong opening stand and anchored the Windies' pursuit of 266, sharing a 78-run stand with Darren Bravo (39) and another of 73 with Denesh Ramdin (29) as the hosts secured the win with 4.2 overs to spare. One of the most scrutinised players in world cricket, tonight was Marlon's night.

OK - give it up for helegance - the much maligned WI batsman who seem to get no respect

The Brave May Fall But Never Yield!

Hearts courageous scorn defeat

In reply to sudden... Samuels went to Kingston College (Jamaica's Cawmere(sp)). That's our motto.

The Combermere School Song

Lives are in the making here
Hearts are in the waking here
Mighty undertaking here
Up and on, up and on.
We are arming for the fight
Pressing on with all our might
Pluming wings for higher flight
Up and on, up and on.

Chorus
Up then! Truest fame lies in high endeavour
Play the game, keep the flame burning brightly ever
Up then! Truest fame lies in high endeavour
Play the game, keep the flame burning brightly ever

Foes in plenty we shall meet
Hearts courageous scorn defeat
So we press with eager feet
Up and on, up and on.
Ever upward to the fight
Ever upward to the light
Ever true to God and Right
Up and on, up and on.

There is another verse which shall remain known to only Cawmerians

The school song forms the basis for greetings by fellow Cawmerians and it is how we identify ourselves. That is why the verse is missing. Only initiates know it so anyone who tries to imitate a Cawmerian and don't know the secret verse would have his throat cut from ear to ear and you know the rest

So this Cawmere that people keep boasting about is also a mediocre one?

Cool.

Do these jokers here still want to drop Samuels?

(I know he is only another failure away from the same forces to again call for his head)

If Mediocre is winning champs, Quiz and a few other disciplines the most in all schools history. and top three in others ... then we are glad to be Mediocre!

Samuels is by far the best test and ODI batsman in this WI team today. Before him it was, in this order:

Samuels
