VIJAYAWADA, India: West Indies captain Carl Hooper
hailed Marlon Samuels’s 75-ball unbeaten 108 as one of
the best one-day international innings ever after his
team beat India by 135 runs to clinch their seven-match
series on Sunday. "It was one of the best one-day
innings I’ve ever seen," Hooper told reporters.
"It was simply unbelievable."
Samuels had walked in to bat with the total 132 for
three in the 27th over. He scored his first 50 runs off
51 balls but tore the India bowling apart after that to
get to his maiden one-day century off just 73
deliveries. The Jamaican struck 11 fours and five huge
sixes. [more]
