Darren Sammy: One of The Best Cricketer On My View.

When the West Indies toured India in January 2007, Sammy was included in the squad for a Test debut. However, shortly before the team left, he suffered an injury that ruled him out of the tour. After the set-back, Sammy traveled to England in April and May where he played in the Central Lancashire League before touring the West Indies in May. He was selected in the visiting team. This time the team has won the NetWest limited overs series. And the 23-year-old St. Lucian won his first Test cap in the third Test at Old Trafford in June. He claimed his first Test wicket when he dismissed Alastair Cook, known as Dwayne Bravo, but his first innings was unforgettable for his economy, giving up just 1.88 runs in 17 overs.

In the second innings, although Sammy caught England captain Michael Vaughan in his own bowling, England's score was 99/2. In his 17th over, he outscored Ryan by Ian Bell. The next ball was in the same way to Matt Prior. Several balls later, on the same score, he dismissed Liam Plunkett, who was caught by Bravo. Five wickets went, four Sammy, three off five balls. He continued his great debut by taking the wickets of Steve Harmison and Monty Panesar, trailing Paul Collingwood by seven wickets for 66 runs. His bowling figure was the best at Old Trafford after Malcolm Marshall's // 22 in 1978, and Alf Valentine made his debut for a West Indian in 1950 with 8-102.

All-rounder Sammy did not glorify himself on this tour, unbeaten twice at an average of just 14.20 from 10 innings. His tenth highest team on the tour was in matches against Scotland and the Netherlands. As a bowler, he averaged a team average of 17.72, 18 wickets (third of the team) from 93.5 overs (18 wickets more than Sammy).
