Marlon Samuels...

He said on social media a few years back about Dwayne Bravo and to be honest word for word he never lied. That man is one unbearable person to have around. His rich cousin, nephew joke..he don't think it needs a rest now?

About a thousand years ago one Freddy Flintoff was asking some foolishness about where will you be in x years and questioning Brav’s relevance

here we are 1,000 years later and man here still bawling about Bravs

allyuh too sweet

I liked Bravo the cricketer, l liked Bravo's stand of agreeing to share the pot with WI FC players. Didn't like one particular aspect of the India debacle though Cameron/Pybus were the real culprits. But what made me lose a good deal of respect for Bravo the men was when he turned to a full stadium where both his Mom and Daughter were and mouthed F-U!!!

I have no problem with Bravo, seems to me like a genuine, enthusiastic person.

I agree with your observations, but like so many of us, he has some flaws. Thing is, we with our flaws still doan like the flaws of others.

One thing I learned in life, not everyone will like me. I don't let someone liking me or not affect me making an evaluation about them. People will dislike each other

I’m would venture to wager that there are many more people who like Dwayne Bravo than who like Marlon Samuels…

in fact it’s hard to imagine a more universally disliked cricketer than Marlon Samuels…

MS... awkward, enigmatic character ....remember him clashing with Warne in big bash ...loved his saluted send off to Stokes following his dismissal with his cap in front of his chest (even the commentators were amused)....comes across as a hard core street man that at times couldn't leave the streets behind.....him an Bravo like oil an water so maybe was inevitable they didn't get on!

shane warne, a friend of many WI cricketers said this

“I have just been sent what Samuels has posted re @benstokes38 & I. It is a very sad situation as he obviously needs serious help-but has no friends at all and not even his ex-teammates like him. Just because you were an ordinary cricketer-no need to be an ordinary person. Get help son,” Warne tweeted.

What qualified the fatally flawed Shane Warne (no pun intended) to judge any other human being on anything? Even the onfield incident with Marlon was a flawed Warne's ultra escalation. Marlon's mockery of Warne's facial reconstruction was in response to Warne using the commentary box to execute a personal vendetta. Marlon is flawed but Warne should've been the last to say anything.

Agreed Brez, Warnie pointing out character flaws is like an upside down universe
