STOKES v SAMUELS

– It was mainly Ravi Bopara who clashed with Samuels in a T20 in Barbados, but Stokes was batting at the other end and isn’t one to stand by and let his team-mate take the heat alone. Stokes breaks his hand on a locker in the next game.

– Samuels takes off his floppy sun hat and holds it to his chest as he salutes Stokes on his way back to the pavilion. The all-rounder had just pulled an innocuous ball from Devendra Bishoo out to the boundary and was caught, allowing Samuels to take the mickey.

– Stokes gets tucked into Samuels during the World T20 final with a few words, but the West Indian has the last laugh as he claims the man-of-thematch award for his 85 not out and is at the non-striker’s end for the fateful final Stokes over. Samuels is fined 30 per cent of his match fee for taunting Stokes during that over, but post-match says: “He doesn’t learn. Stokes is a nervous laddie.”
