Legendary career?

@velo

I believe contemporaries and peers


which peer would call Sammy Legendary? Other than Charles?

Rovman won’t, nor will Pooran, Gayle or Bravs. Nor Polly nor Marlon. RTN had ample opportunity on air and didn’t get there yet.


look anyhow this is a Happy Birthday thread to the skipper of two WC titles


so happy birthday Darren

you're surely having your cake and eating it too.
