Posted: Mon Jul 04, 2011 11:09 am
Marlon Samuels was asked if he could bat with any past West Indian batsman who would that batsman be---he was then asked which present day batsman he prefers to bat with.
Q. Marlon, if you could bat with any WI player of the past, who would he be? What about present day?
A. (without hesitation) Sir Viv! Shot for shot! Competing! (laughs). Present day it would be Shiv. I like batting with Shiv because he frustrates the bowlers and that helps me. I score more runs when I bat with Shiv because they are putting so much effort into trying to get Shiv out that they give me a bad ball or something, and I make more runs.
Marlon says he scores more runs when he bats with Shiv because Shiv frustrates the bowlers and that helps him.
I wonder which batsman Shiv has enjoyed batting the most with ?
Maybe Lara---Shiv was at the other end when Lara scored his 375.
