Well there's always been plenty of spice on the park with this fabulous fast and furious format...especially in India with the IPL.
We know there is a different kinda spice off the field, here in the Land of a Billion, in the shape and form of West Indies T20 skipper, Darren Sammy
And I must say, it's a truly refreshing change to hear big DS behind the microphone.
Darren's slower and engaging West Indian drawl and upbeat positivity all-round has lifted the production when Big D has been ‘in da house’, as it were!
The added dynamic of course, is the fact that Darren in still playing this format at the highest level and with the very recent World T20 victory in India last month, it is a major coup to get Sammy into the com-box.
His cheeky quirky quips and genuine passion in the commentary box has lifted all around him.
And in time, the big St. Lucian will get more and more comfortable behind the mic - and get even more cheeky, ha!
But in the meantime...I'm still looking forward to Darren Sammy playing very soon in the Hero CPL T20 comp, which it’s incredible to think starts just next month!
St. Lucia has a tremendous playing surface and is conducive to some power hitting with its slick 22 yards...all aiding in Big D's booming batting prowess! So here's to more 'bosching' of maximums before Darren S gets comfortable in the commentary position!
