That run of form has drawn praise from observers including Caribbean Cricket Podcast co-host Santokie Nagulendran, who has hailed the Dugard native as “Professor Sammy.” Nagulendran was speaking earlier this week on Wisden’s The Scoop podcast.

“In the region, they’re calling him Professor Sammy because he’s managed to work magic on our batting lineup,” Nagulendran said. “Sammy’s identified the philosophy he wants in his players, and it makes sense. If you got players who are naturally more attacking, why try and harness that? Allow them to flourish and play their natural game.”

Nagulendran also highlighted the squad’s willingness to sign contracts carrying a 25 per cent pay cut as proof of dressing-room unity. “I think that’s symbolic of the effects that Sammy’s had on the team, because players want to commit to his course, and they’re playing for something,” he added.

If he leads WI cricket back to the top of World Criceket, UWI may well grant him and honorable Doctorate and our own resident professor Chrissy (who has a doctorate in West Indian cricket history) could well be the UWI presenter at the graduation ceremony.
