ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada: West Indies all-rounder Marlon Samuels conjured up a new twist to his feud with Ben Stokes when he stood to attention and gave a military-style salute to his English rival on Thursday.
Samuels stood bolt upright and mockingly raised his right hand to his forehead as Stokes walked past him after being dismissed for just eight on the third day of the second Test.
The gesture by the West Indian drew praise and criticism on social media.
“He can be an absolute tool sometimes but I have to admit Marlon Samuels just made me laugh tea out of my nose with his saluting send off,” tweeted former England off-spinner Graeme Swann.
West Indies bowling coach Curtly Ambrose backed Samuels. “There’s nothing wrong with a little bantering. This is international cricket. As long as it doesn’t go over the top, I’m fine with it,” he said.
