paragraph: Josyf Slipyj

paragraph: Josyf Slipyi (, born as ; 17 February 1893 – 7 September 1984) was a Major Archbishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and a Cardinal of the Catholic Church.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Early Years.

paragraph: He was born in the village of Zazdrist, Galicia (in modern Ternopil Oblast), then a crownland of Austria-Hungary. He studied at the Lviv Greek-Catholic Seminary and Innsbruck University in Austria, before being ordained a priest on 30 June 1917. From 1920 to 1922, he studied in Rome at the Pontifical Oriental Institute, the "Collegio Angelico" (Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, "Angelicum"), and the Pontifical Gregorian University. He returned to Lwów ("Lviv"), by then part of Second Polish Republic.

paragraph: After a short pastoral assignment, in 1922 Slipyi became a professor of dogmatic theology at the Lviv Holy Spirit Seminary. In 1926 he became the rector of the seminary and actively participated in its development. In 1923 he established the Theological Academic Society, for which he wrote the articles of association and enrolled scholars. In the same year he became an editor of the quarterly "Bohosloviia" (Theology). On April 14, 1929, Slipyi became the first rector of the Lviv Theological Academy (the predecessor to the Ukrainian Catholic University).

paragraph: In 1926, Slipyj became a member of the supervisory board of the Lviv National Museum, and in 1931 Deputy Chairman of the Ukrainian Catholic Union. Due to his scholarly merits and active development of Ukrainian cultural and religious life, Slipyi became a member of the Shevchenko Scientific Society. At this time he made numerous research trips to Western Europe, Holy Land, took part in union congresses in Velegrad, Prague, Pinsk and in 1936 he organized a union congress in Lviv.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Soviet and Fascist Occupation.

paragraph: On 22 December 1939, with the blessing of Pope Pius XII, Slipyj was ordained archbishop of Serrae and Coadjutor Archbishop of Lviv with the right of succession. The ordination was conducted by Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky in secrecy due to the Soviet presence and the political situation.

paragraph: On 30 June 1941, Josyf Slipyj supported the Act of Declaration of Ukrainian State. Slipyj became the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church on 1 November 1944, following Sheptytsky's death.

paragraph: After Soviet troops captured Lviv, Slipyj was arrested along with other bishops in 1945 by the NKVD, convicted to penal servitude, allegedly for collaboration with the Nazi regime. This was the first step in the planned liquidation of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church by Soviet authorities. After being jailed in Lviv, Kiev, and Moscow, a Soviet court sentenced him to eight years of hard labor in the Siberian Gulag.

paragraph: At this time Soviet authorities forcibly convened an assembly of 216 priests, and on 9 March 1946 and the following day, the so-called "Synod of Lviv" was held in St. George's Cathedral. The Union of Brest, the council at which the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church formally entered into ecclesiastic communion with the Holy See, was revoked. The Church was forcibly "rejoined" to the Russian Orthodox Church.

paragraph: Slipyj rejected any offers of conversion into Orthodoxy and was continuously sentenced in 1953, 1957, 1962, thus totally imprisoned for 18 years in camps in Siberia and Mordovia (Dubravlag in Potma).

paragraph: According to Mykola Posivnych, Josyf Slipyj saw his imprisonment years as lost years. He was devastated since the best years of his life in terms of productivity, Slipyj had to spend among criminals, investigators and jailers. Numerous times he went through illnesses as well as having his legs and hands broken and frostbitten.

paragraph: Slipyj's prison writings managed to circulate. In 1957 Pope Pius XII sent him a congratulatory letter on the 40th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. It was confiscated, and also on account of his circulating writings, he was sentenced to seven more years in prison.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Release to Rome and honors from the Vatican.

paragraph: On 23 January 1963, he was freed by Nikita Khrushchev's administration after political pressure from Pope John XXIII and United States President John F. Kennedy. He arrived in Rome on 9 February 1963 in time to participate in the Second Vatican Council.

paragraph: Beginning in 1963 many Ukrainian bishops lobbied for Slipyj to be named patriarch, but Pope Paul VI refused, instead creating the new office of major archbishop and appointing Slipyj as its first incumbent on 23 December 1963.

paragraph: On 25 January 1965 Pope Paul VI named Slipyj a cardinal and appointed him Cardinal-Priest of Sant'Atanasio. At the time he was the 4th cardinal in Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church history. In 1949 he had been secretly ("in pectore") named a cardinal by Pope Pius XII, but this would have expired in 1958 when that pope died.

paragraph: Because, as already noted above, he was major archbishop (not patriarch), he was cardinal priest instead of being in the then-new rank of cardinal patriarch. His successors in the Ukraine, whether cardinals or not, have used the title of major archbishop.

paragraph: He did not participate in the 1978 papal conclaves in August and October being past the age of 80 then.

paragraph: On the first occasion of an audience with Pope John Paul II, the Pope showed respect by greeting Cardinal Slipyj first, which was contrary to protocol.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Reorganization of UGCC life.

paragraph: From the start of his arrival in Rome the Major Archbishop strove to organize the self-management of the local Ukrainian Catholic Church, headed by the patriarch. This idea was not supported by the Apostolic See.

paragraph: In 1968, 1970, 1973 and 1976 Cardinal Slipyj visited countries in Europe, America, Asia and Australia in order to strengthen the ties with the Ukrainian diaspora overseas, and to reinvigorate the religious life of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church abroad. During these years he also took part in three international Eucharistic Congresses (Bombay, Bogota, Melbourne).

paragraph: In 1977, Slipyj consecrated Ivan Choma, Stefan Czmil and Lubomyr Husar as bishops without approval of the pope in an act of exposition of patriarchal aspirations. These consecrations caused much annoyance to the Roman Curia as episcopal consecrations without papal permission are considered illicit in Roman Canon Law but not Eastern Canon Law.

paragraph: As a Major Archbishop with Patriarchal rights, Slipyj gathered a number of synods of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The most significant ones took place in 1969, 1971 and 1973. During the last Synod, the constitution of the UGCC patriarchal arrangement was adopted. Slipyj published his ordinances in “Evangelicum of the Major Archbishop of the Byzantine-Ukrainian rite” starting from 1964.

paragraph: In Rome, he bought and rebuilt church of Saint Sergius and Bacchus for Ukrainian Catholics. On the territory of church both museum and hospice were founded. In 1967-1968, the cathedral of Santa Sofia on Via Boccea was built in Rome at his orders.

paragraph: In 1960 he revitalized the Ukrainian Theological Scientific Society in exile and restored the publishing of “Bohoslovia” (Theology) in 1963 and the journal “Dzvony” (Bells) in 1976.

paragraph: In 1963 Slipyj organized the Ukrainian Catholic University of St. Clement with an academic publishing house.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Death and burial.

paragraph: Although Slipyj was banned from entering Ukraine by the leaders of the USSR, including Nikita Khrushchev, nevertheless he refused to give up his Soviet passport.

paragraph: He died in Rome on 7 September 1984. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, his relics were returned to St. George's Cathedral in Lviv, and were reburied there August 27–29, 1992.

paragraph: His cause for canonisation has been introduced at Rome.

paragraph: Section::::Intellectual interests.

paragraph: In his research work he concentrated on approximating the scholasticism of Saint Thomas Acquinas to the requirements of Eastern Theology. Slipyj wrote a number of dogmatic works on the importance of the Holy Trinity, the origin of the Holy Spirit and Holy Sacraments, among which are:

paragraph: · "«Die Trinitatslehre des byzantinischen Patriarchen Photios»", 1921

paragraph: · "«De principo spirationis in SS. Trinitate»", 1926

paragraph: · «On the Holy Sacraments», 1953

paragraph: · "«Die Auffassung des „Lebens“ nach dem Evangelium und I.Briefe des Hl. Johannes»", 1965

paragraph: He also covered historical and ecumenical topics.

paragraph: In 1968-1976 all of the Josyf Slipyj works were gathered and published as a work of the Ukrainian Catholic University in Rome (Volume I-VIII).

paragraph: Section::::Honors, Commemoration and Monuments.

paragraph: Honors

paragraph: Honorable member of Shevchenko Scientific Society (1964)

paragraph: Institutions

paragraph: Both Ternopil Seminary in the town of Velyka Berezovytsia and Ternopil municipal Collegium were named after Patriarch Josyf Slipyj.

paragraph: Streets

paragraph: A number of Ukrainian cities’ streets hold the name of Patriarch Josyf Slipyj (Lviv, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kolomyia).

paragraph: Commemorative events

paragraph: The year 2002 was dedicated by the UGCC to the commemoration of the 110th anniversary of Josyf Slipyj birth. On this occasion in July a pilgrimage to Zarvanytsia took place, with pilgrims coming from various parts of Ukraine, Canada, the US, altogether more than 200.000.

paragraph: On 22 March 2012, the Ukrainian parliament issued an order to commemorate the 120th anniversary of Josyf Slipyj’s birth. The parliament suggested that the government establish an organizational committee that would develop a program of events to honor the anniversary on the state-wide level. The parliament also proposed to republish Josyf Slipyj’s works, organize a conference in Kyiv on the topic “Patriarch Josyf Slipyj’s role in Ukrainian state creation and the formation of national identity of Ukrainian people”, and initiate measures to preserve and restore objects related to Slipyj activities. The National Bank of Ukraine was ordered to issue a commemorative coin from the series “Prominent Ukrainians” with Slipyj’s depiction. The Ukrainian Postal Service “Ukrposhta” was ordered to print envelops and postage stamps with Slipyj’s portrait.

paragraph: To commemorate the 125th anniversary of birth of Major Archbishop of Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and long-sentenced political prisoner of Soviet concentration camps, Lviv regional council dedicated the year 2017 to Josyf Slipyj.

paragraph: Section::::"The Shoes of the Fisherman".

paragraph: It seems likely that Slipyj's life story was known to the Australian writer Morris West's 1963 novel "The Shoes of the Fisherman". West's protagonist is Kiril Pavlovich Lakota, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Lviv, who is freed by the Soviet Premier after 17 years in a Siberian labor camp. He is sent to Rome, where an elderly pope makes him a cardinal. The Pontiff dies, and Lakota finds himself elected Pope, taking the name Kiril I (a rare modern use of a baptismal name as a papal name).

paragraph: Despite the similarities, it is not clear to what extent West used Slipyj or Bishop Hryhorij Lakota (who died in 1950 in the gulag) as a particular model for his character. The book begins with a disclaimer: “This is a book set in a fictional time, peopled with fictional characters, and no reference is intended to any living person, whether in the Church or out of it.” According to the publisher, "The Shoes of the Fisherman" was written between March 1961 and August 1962, which is before Slipyj's release.

paragraph: The novelty of a Ukrainian pope in a post-Cuban Missile Crisis, Cold War world led to the book being featured on "The New York Times Best Seller list". It was the number 1 bestseller of the entire year on the "Publishers Weekly" fiction list, and the parallels led to increased fame for Slipyj.

paragraph: Hollywood's film version appeared in 1968, starring Anthony Quinn as Lakota/Kiril I and Laurence Olivier as the (fictional) USSR Premier Piotr Ilyich Kamenev (and Lakota's jailer). It was nominated for two Academy Awards.

paragraph: Some today regard "The Shoes of the Fisherman" as prophetic because it preceded by 15 years the election of Karol Józef Wojtyła as Pope John Paul II, the first Slavic pope as well as one from a Communist nation, noting even the Kiril/Karol similarity of names.

paragraph: Judging from his extant works, it appears that Sugimura, who preferred (unlike most "ukiyo-e" artists) to use his surname rather than his given name, specialized in "shunga", or erotic prints. Some scholars judge his personal flamboyant and decorative style to be even more erotic than that of Hishikawa Moronobu. Sugimura often hid his signature in the folds of women's clothing.

paragraph: Chris Snee

paragraph: Christopher Snee (born January 18, 1982) is a former American football guard who played his entire ten-year career for the New York Giants of the National Football League. He played college football for Boston College and was chosen by the Giants in the second round of the 2004 NFL Draft. Snee earned two Super Bowl rings with the Giants in Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI, both against the New England Patriots.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: At Montrose High School, Snee was a two-time all-state selection, and a three-time All-Conference selection. He is believed to be the first NFL player ever to grow up in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. He was named the Regional Defensive Player of the Year in 1999. He was named Three-time All-Conference choice and a two-year All-Regional honoree. Snee played defense in high school and recorded 47 quarterback sacks in his three years as a starter on the defensive line. He led his team to the district title in 1997 and 1998. He totaled 101 tackles in his senior season and served as their team captain. Snee was a two-time All-Conference selection and team captain on the school’s basketball team. He played in the 43rd annual Big 33 Football Classic, featuring the top players from Pennsylvania and Ohio.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Snee attended Boston College, where he played for the Boston College Eagles football team. He was a second-team All-America selection and an All-Big East Conference first-team choice by The NFL Draft Report in his final season at Boston College. In 2003, he started every game, including the San Francisco Bowl, at right guard, providing excellent blocking as tailback Derrick Knight ranked fourth in the nation in rushing with 1,721 yards. He started every game at left guard in 2002, helping the team finish third in the Big East in total offense (5,074 yards) and second in passing yards (3,010). Snee was third-team Freshman All-America selection by "Sporting News" in 2001 and was a member of the Big East’s All-Freshman team. He played in nine games, starting the final six contests. He made his first career start vs. Virginia Tech at right tackle before shifting to right guard for the Pittsburgh contest.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Snee gave up his final year of college eligibility to make himself eligible for the NFL Draft. The New York Giants selected Snee in the second round (34th overall) of the 2004 NFL Draft. The New York Giants' head coach, Tom Coughlin, was Snee's father-in-law at the time of the draft. He made his NFL debut against the Philadelphia Eagles, where he helped Tiki Barber rush for 125 yards on nine carries, including a 72-yard score. He missed the final five games of the season after waking up the morning of the game against the Washington Redskins with an inflamed gland just beneath his jaw. He arrived at the stadium early, but there was no progress in his condition prior to the time the Giants had to submit their list of inactive players. The condition did not improve enough for him to play again in the 2004 NFL season.

paragraph: As a rookie in 2004, Snee started all 11 games in which he played at right guard, a job he won in training camp. Snee and the line provided enough run blocking for Barber again for him to rush for a then team record 220 yards vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. He also helped blocking against the Oakland Raiders and helped Barber rush for 203 yards, including a team-record 95-yard touchdown. His pass blocking enabled Eli Manning to pass for 3,762 yards, the 5th-highest total in franchise history. Snee also provided enough run blocking for Barber to rush for a franchise record 1,860 yards. He was then selected as a fourth alternate to the NFC Pro Bowl team.

paragraph: In 2005, Snee started all 16 regular season games and the NFC Wild Card Game at right guard. Against the Washington Redskins, the line allowed one sack and helped the Giants rush for 261 rushing yards, their highest total since they ran for 262 yards on October 30, 2005. In the NFC Wild Card game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the line allowed one sack and provided enough blocking for the Giants to rush for 151 yards on 31 carries. He was later voted as third alternate to the 2006 Pro Bowl. Snee provided enough run blocking for the Giants offense to rush for 2,156 yards, the seventh-highest total in the NFL.

paragraph: In 2006, Snee started all 16 regular season games and the NFC Wild Card Game at right guard. Against the Atlanta Falcons, the line allowed one sack and provided enough protection for the Giants offense to gain 491 yards of total offense. Snee and the line allowed just four total sacks in a 5-game period from Sept. 30 – Oct. 28. In week 17 Snee helped Tiki Barber rush for a franchise record 234 yards in a playoff-clinching win against the Washington Redskins. In that game Barber had three runs of 50 yards or more, two of them for touchdowns.

paragraph: In 2007, Snee started all 16 regular season games and the Giants’ four postseason games. He was an integral part of an offense that helped the Giants score 373 points (the fifth-highest total in franchise history) and compile 321 first downs (the fourth-highest total by a Giants team) and 5,302 yards (seventh in team history). The line’s blocking enabled the Giants to finish fourth in the NFL in rushing yardage with an average of 134.3 yards a game. Snee also enabled the Giants rushed for 289 yards in a playoff-clinching victory against the Buffalo Bills, their highest total in 22 years. He also started every game in which he’s played (59 regular season and six postseason) at right guard. Snee entered the 2008 season with 48 consecutive regular season starts, the third-longest streak on the Giants behind David Diehl (80) and Eli Manning (55).

paragraph: Snee reportedly signed a new six-year contract extension to remain a Giant through the 2014 season.

paragraph: The deal has a base salary of $41.25 million and includes $17 million in guarantees. Snee also gets a $13.5 million signing bonus and can earn another $2 million in incentives. $23 million will be available in the first three seasons and his annual base average is $6.875 million.

paragraph: Snee's strong play in 2008 earned him his first Pro Bowl selection as one of the NFC's starting guards.

paragraph: At the end of the 2011 season, Snee and the Giants appeared in Super Bowl XLVI. He started in the game as the Giants defeated the New England Patriots by a score of 21–17 giving him his second Super Bowl title.

paragraph: Marc Raquil

paragraph: Marc Raquil (born 2 April 1977 in Créteil) is a French runner of Martiniquais origin who competes in the 400 metres and 4x400m relay.

paragraph: He won the 4x400m relay silver medal and the 400m bronze medal at the 2003 World Championships. In 2004, his 4x400m relay team was retroactively awarded gold medals after the United States 4x400m relay team was stripped of its gold medals due to the failed drug tests of two members of the relay (Calvin Harrison and Jerome Young). Since Jerome Young had also finished first in the 400m at the 2003 World Championships, the failed drug test also resulted in Raquil being retroactively awarded a silver medal in the 400m. Raquil has also won three gold medals and one bronze medal at the European Indoor and Outdoor Championships.

paragraph: Marlon Samuels

paragraph: Marlon Nathaniel Samuels (born 5 February 1981) is a Jamaican cricketer who plays internationally for the West Indies in all three formats, and a former ODI captain. He is a right-handed middle order batsman and an off-spinner. He was a key member of the West Indies team that won the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 and 2016 ICC World Twenty20, and was named man of the match in the final of both tournaments, becoming first man to achieve the feat.

paragraph: Samuels made his Test debut in Australia in 2000, and his One Day International debut against Sri Lanka in Nairobi during the ICC Knockout Trophy in the same year.

paragraph: In 2013 he was named one of the Wisden cricketers of the year. He was one of the franchise players for the inaugural Caribbean Premier League. In 2016 the West Indies Cricket Board named Samuels as the ODI Player of the Year and the Cricketer of the Year.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: He is the younger brother of Robert Samuels, also a West Indian cricketer.

paragraph: Section::::Domestic career.

paragraph: During the West Indies tour of Australia, on 9 October 2005 Samuels registered his highest first-class score with an innings of 257. It was made in a tour match against Queensland at the Gabba. His effort was a record score at the ground, beating Martin Love's 250. Showing his allround abilities, he followed it up with 5 wickets in the next innings.

paragraph: The Bangladesh Cricket Board founded the six-team Bangladesh Premier League in 2012, a twenty20 tournament to be held in February that year. An auction was held for teams to buy players, and Samuels was bought by the Duronto Rajshahi for $360,000. He was the team's highest run-scorer with 242 from 11 innings in the competition. In February 2012, Samuels signed a contract with Pune Warriors India to play for them in the 2012 and 2013 Indian Premier League (IPL). The 2012 IPL clashed with Australia's tour of the West Indies, and Samuels was granted permission to skip the three Test series and play in the league. During the tournament he was reported for having a suspect bowling action, and suspended from bowling in the rest of the competition.

paragraph: In October 2012 he was selected for the Melbourne Renegades in the 2012/2013 Big Bash T20 League.

paragraph: He helped both Peshawar Zalmi to win the 2017 Pakistan Super League, and Kowloon Cantons to win the 2017 Hong Kong T20 Blitz. Despite this recent success, he was not selected until the 8th round of the 2017 Caribbean Premier League Draft, as he was picked up by the St Lucia Stars.

paragraph: Section::::International career.

paragraph: Section::::International career.:Debut years.

paragraph: Samuels scored his maiden Test hundred at Kolkata against the Indians in 2002/03. His innings of 104 helped the West Indies to draw the 3rd Test and was made against the likes of Javagal Srinath, Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh. His first ODI ton came in the series which followed and turned out to be a series winning innings. With the series level at 3–3 going into the final match at Vijayawada on 24 November 2002, Samuels smacked 108 not out off just 75 balls. The West Indies finished with 315 and went on to win by 135 runs.

paragraph: He played in two Tests on the tour of Australia in 2005, with a highest score of 29, before he was sent home with a knee injury.

paragraph: Section::::International career.:Permanent member.

paragraph: Against Pakistan at Multan in late 2006, Samuels scored his second ODI century. His unbeaten 100 led the West Indies to victory as they successfully chased the Pakistani total. He fell just short of another century a month later against the Indians in Chennai but his quick fire 98 helped his side chase down India's 268. Samuels also played as part of the Pro Cricket league in the United States for the Chicago Tornadoes.

paragraph: In January 2007, Samuels was named man of the match after scoring 94 and 40 in the first Test against South Africa in Port Elizabeth, a match the West Indies won by 128 runs. He went on to score his second Test hundred, in the final match, hitting 105 although it wasn't enough for his side to win the match or the series. Samuels was involved in the run-out of Brian Lara in his last international match, against England during the 2007 World Cup. Lara was on 18, when Samuels signalled for a quick run but was unable to reach the other wicket in time as Kevin Pietersen underarmed the ball to hit the stumps.

paragraph: Section::::International career.:Dropped from the squad & comeback.

paragraph: After the World Cup, the West Indies toured England in May. Unexpectedly Samuels was not initially included in the squad for the Test leg, but was called up as a replacement when Ramnaresh Sarwan suffered an injury. On 4 July Samuels made 77 runs from 104 balls against England in the second Natwest ODI. He and Shivnarine Chanderpaul scored a record third wicket partnership of 175 runs at Edgbaston in a game West Indies won.

paragraph: Section::::International career.:Ban in 2008.

paragraph: On 25 February 2008 Samuels was suspended from bowling in international cricket until he corrects his bowling action, which has been deemed suspect. Indian police accused Samuels of giving out team information to a known bookie prior to the 1st ODI between the West Indies and India in Nagpur on 21 January 2007. It was claimed that they have taped telephone conversations between a bookmaker, Mukesh Kochchar, and Samuels. The transcript was later released by the police. After a hearing into the matter, in May the International Cricket Council enforced a two-year ban on the 27-year-old for "receiving money, or benefit or other reward that could bring him or the game of cricket into disrepute". Samuels maintained his innocence.

paragraph: Section::::International career.:Return in 2010.

paragraph: Samuels' two-year ban expired on 9 May 2010, and he subsequently returned to playing for Jamaica. West-Indian chief selector Clyde Butts stated that the door was open for Samuels to serve the West Indies in international cricket provided that he proved himself on the domestic circuit. During the 2011 World Cup in February and March, all-rounder Dwayne Bravo suffered an injury and the West Indies Cricket Board asked Samuels to fly out to act as a replacement. Samuels declined, stating that he did not yet feel ready, but that he was targeting a return during India's tour of the West Indies in June and July.

paragraph: The West Indies were knocked out in the quarter finals of the World Cup, and in the team's first engagement after was hosting Pakistan in April and May. When the T20I squad was announced four uncapped players were included and Samuels was recalled, marking a return to the squad for the first time since the expiration of his ban. Samuels returned to the Test side for the second Test and scored a half-century in his first innings.

paragraph: Section::::International career.:Golden years.

paragraph: Samuels was selected in the West Indies Test squad to tour England after the IPL. In the first Test Samuels combined with Chanderpaul in a 157-run stand. However, with England batting on the final day to win the match Samuels was asked to bowl. His part-time off spin was called upon as the West Indies had entered the match without a specialist spinner, while Shannon Gabriel was injured and Fidel Edwards ineffective. Samuels scored his third Test century in his next innings, and combined with captain Darren Sammy to score 204 runs, the second-highest partnership for the West Indies' seventh wicket.

paragraph: Samuels was named man of the match in the final of the 2012 ICC World Twenty20, in which the West Indies beat Sri Lanka by 36 runs to claim the title. He scored 78 off 56 balls, an innings which included six sixes and three fours. He was named in the 'Team of the Tournament' for the 2012 T20 World Cup by the ICC. The knock was voted as the best T20I batting performance of the year 2012 by ESPNCricinfo.

paragraph: His knock of 126 against Bangladesh at Mirpur was nominated to be one of the best ODI batting performance of the year by ESPNCricinfo.

paragraph: Samuels was also named man of the match in the final of the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 in which he scored an unbeaten 85 off 66 balls to help West Indies beat England by 4 wickets and capture their second World Twenty20 title.

paragraph: For his performances in 2012, he was named in the Test XI and T20I XI of the year by ESPNCricinfo.

paragraph: During the pool match against Zimbabwe in 2015 Cricket World Cup, Samuels scored his 8th ODI century. He along with Chris Gayle scored record breaking 372 run for the second wicket, which is the highest ever partnership for any wicket in ODIs. In the match, Gayle recorded first double century in World Cup history as well.

paragraph: Samuels was the West Indies cricketer of the Year 2016.

paragraph: Section::::International career.:Illegal bowling & drop from squad.

paragraph: During the first test at Galle in 2015, Samuels was again reported about suspect bowling action. The action was found to be illegal for the second time and Samuels was banned from bowling in international arena for 12 months. His bowling action was cleared on 16 February 2017 by the ICC with the permitted 15-degree limit.

paragraph: On 4 November 2016, Sameuls was dropped from the ODI squad for 2016–17 Zimbabwe Tri-Series due to poor performances in tests against Pakistan in October.

paragraph: Section::::International career.:Return in 2017.

paragraph: On 24 February 2017, Samuels discussed with WICB about the omission him from West Indies squad and suggested he could accept a Kolpak deal in county cricket. However, on 21 August 2017, WICB took the decision to include Samuels along with Gayle to return ODIs for the series against England.

paragraph: Section::::Controversy.

paragraph: He was involved in controversy during the Melbourne derby on 6 January 2012 against the Shane Warne-led Melbourne Stars; during the Stars' innings, Samuels held back David Hussey at the non-striker's end when the batters were trying to take a second run off Samuels' bowling. Warne reacted angrily to this when he was later bowling to Samuels himself; he continuously sledged Samuels, asking if he was going "grab hold of my shirt too, Marlon?" The incident escalated when Warne, appearing to attempt to throw the ball to the wicket-keeper, tossed it gently at Samuels, who responded by throwing his bat in Warne's direction. This led to an angry confrontation between the two mid-pitch. Both players were suspended, but Samuels missed the rest of the BBL season in any case, as he received an injury due to a bouncer from Lasith Malinga in the same game. The pair have been far from kind about each other in interviews since this incident.

paragraph: Samuels also has something of a feud with Ben Stokes; this began during the England cricket tour to the West Indies 2014-15. In the Second Test match, in which Samuels scored a century, he mocked Stokes' attempts to distract him with sledging as he batted, saying that it only concentrated his mind on the job in hand. When Stokes was then dismissed for 8 on Day 3 of the same match, Samuels saluted the departing batsman.

paragraph: The feud resurfaced during the final of the 2016 ICC World Twenty20, during which Samuels scored a crucial 85. Stokes bowled the final over of the match to Carlos Brathwaite, with Samuels at the non-striker's end. After Brathwaite hit 4 sixes to win the game for the West Indies, Samuels claimed that Stokes "never learns".

paragraph: Section::::Bowling action.

paragraph: In February 2017, he was cleared to resume bowling in international cricket by the ICC. He was banned from bowling at the international level for 12 months in December 2015, after his action was found to be illegal for a second time in 24 months.

paragraph: Section::::Records.

paragraph: BULLET::::- First player to receive 2 Player of The Final awards in ICC World T20 history. He also became only the second player after Shahid Afridi in history to score a half century and to take at least a single wicket in a T20 World Cup final.

paragraph: BULLET::::- He holds the record for the highest individual score in an ICC World T20 final(85) and also holds the record for the highest score in a successful chase in an ICC World T20 final in 2016.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Highest ever ODI partnership for any wicket, along with Gayle - 372 runs for 2nd wicket and also it is the highest ever runstand in for any wicket in World Cup history. In fact, this is also the highest partnership for any wicket in List A history.

paragraph: Sampson Mathews

paragraph: Sampson Mathews (c. 1737- January 20, 1807) was an American soldier, merchant, lawyer, legislator, and college founder in the colony (and later U.S. state) of Virginia.

paragraph: As a soldier, Mathews participated in three wars. He served with George Washington in the Virginia provincial militia on Braddock's Expedition of the French and Indian War; he was commissary for Virginia militia in the Battle of Point Pleasant of Lord Dunmore's War; and he was lieutenant colonel of Virginia militia in the American Revolutionary War, leading the American defense against Benedict Arnold's January 1781 raid of Richmond and fighting at the decisive Siege of Yorktown.

paragraph: Mathews was an early merchant in the Shenandoah Valley region, where he and a brother, George Mathews, ran a series of mercantile outposts along the frontier between current Rockbridge and Greenbrier County. Additionally, he was an original trustee of Liberty Hall (later Washington and Lee University), when it was made into a college in 1776. Washington and Lee University is the nation's ninth oldest institution of higher education.

paragraph: In politics, he was a member of the inaugural Virginia State Senate, of which body he was a member from 1776-1781 and 1790-1792, representing Augusta, Rockingham, Rockbridge, Shenandoah, and Pendleton counties. He toured the western frontier as a representative for the United States Congress to fortify the colonial border from Indian attacks, and he oversaw shipbuilding efforts for the Continental Navy's Virginia fleet at Warwick.

paragraph: He was a member of the Mathews political family. His brother, George Mathews, was a governor of Georgia, and his great-nephew, Henry M. Mathews, was a governor of West Virginia. Numerous other relations served in the Virginia General Assembly and other state or federal offices.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Sampson Mathews was born c. 1737 in Augusta County, Virginia to Anne (née Archer) and John Mathews. His parents were among the first settlers of Augusta County who had immigrated to America during the Scotch-Irish immigration of 1710-1775, and his father was a notable member of the early Augusta County community. Sampson was educated at the Augusta Academy, a classical school founded in 1749.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.:French and Indian War.

paragraph: On the outbreak of the French and Indian War, Mathews was elected captain of a local militia unit and accompanied George Washington under British General Edward Braddock on his ill-fated Braddock expedition. This was the largest British expedition to the colonies, and was intended to expel the French from the Ohio Country. The French and their Indian allies ambushed Braddock, who was mortally wounded in the Battle of the Monongahela. After suffering devastating casualties, the British retreated in disarray. Though the expedition was a disaster for the British, Mathews for his part had proved a capable leader and was elected sheriff of Augusta County the following year, also assuming the functions of chancellor.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.:Dunmore's War.

paragraph: By fall of 1774, tension between colonial frontiersmen and local Indian tribes had again elevated, causing Lord Dunmore to assemble a 1000-man invasion of Indian territory, culling recruits from the Virginia frontier. Mathews was appointed commissary of subsistence for Col. Charles Lewis and oversaw the driving of 500 pack horses with equipment and food, including 54,000 pounds of flour, and 108 cattle for the march from Augusta to Point Pleasant, for which he was nicknamed the Master Driver of Cattle. The Battle of Point Pleasant, the only major battle of Dunmore's War, was fought between Virginia militia and Indians from the Shawnee and Mingo tribes along the Ohio River. The Indians, under the Shawnee Chief Cornstalk, attacked Virginia militia under Col. Lewis, attempting to halt Lewis's advance into the Ohio Country. Sampson's brother George Mathews played a significant role in the victory, flanking the Shawnee chief and initiating his retreat. The Virginians incurred over 200 injuries and deaths during the battle though the campaign was declared a victory by Dunmore; it was the last battle that the colonies of America would fight alongside the British.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.:Between wars.

paragraph: Mathews became one of the founding trustees of Liberty Hall, formerly the Augusta Academy, along with brothers Thomas and Andrew Lewis, Samuel McDowell, George Moffett, William Preston, and James Waddel. In 1776 the academy was renamed in a burst of revolutionary fervor and relocated to Lexington, Virginia. Chartered in 1782 by the new Commonwealth of Virginia, Liberty Hall was again renamed, to Washington College. After the American Civil War it became Washington and Lee University, and is now the nation's ninth oldest institution of higher education.

paragraph: Section::::American Revolution.

paragraph: The months following the Dunmore's War saw tension rise between the British and the colonies. Lord Dunmore dissolved the House of Burgesses in May 1774, and when the assembly was set to convene in Richmond for the 1775 session under the interim name of the Second Virginia Convention, Mathews was part of a committee to elect delegates and draft preparations for the impending war. When independence from Britain was established, he was elected to the inaugural Virginia State Senate in 1776 on the formation of that body from the dissolved Governor's Council, where he represented Augusta, Rockingham, Rockbridge, Shenandoah, and Pendleton counties.

paragraph: During the inaugural session of the Virginia General Assembly, the senate passed an act to promote the Continental Navy's Virginia fleet. Charles O. Paullin states that "no other state owned as much land, properties, and manufactories devoted to naval purposes as Virginia. Mathews was appointed trustee of the operation stationed at Warwick on the James River, five miles south of Richmond, where he oversaw the making of sail material from flax grown by the farmers of Augusta County, as there was no money available to buy linen cloth for sails.

paragraph: In 1778, Mathews, George Clymer, and Samuel Washington were sent as representatives for Congress to the western frontier to report on security of the American border. Congress had learned of British governor Henry Hamilton's efforts to pit local Indian tribes against the lightly guarded American western border, and feared attack. From Fort Pitt, the committee reported back to Congress the seriousness of the threat, leading Congress to send 3,000 militiamen to the western frontier, including George Rogers Clark. Clark finally captured Hamilton in winter 1779—a success that encouraged the alliance with France.

paragraph: Section::::American Revolution.:Military service.

paragraph: Mathews returned to the Virginia senate and in December 1780, took control of the body as its acting president while Governor Thomas Jefferson fled the capitol of Richmond as British armies approached Virginia's eastern shore. By January 1781, the British had made their way up the James River to the capital. British Brigadier General Benedict Arnold invaded and captured Richmond by surprise, destroying supply houses, foundries, and mills with virtually no resistance. Jefferson sent an emergency call for defense of the capital.

paragraph: Mathews, then lieutenant colonel of Augusta County militia, responded with a company of approximately 250. His march to Richmond was delayed for several days at the James River due to heavy rain that impeded crossing efforts. In his camp food was scarce, many were ill, and medical care was almost nonexistent. Many man deserted, and rumors of mutiny spread. When the militia finally caught up to Arnold outside of Richmond, they were too late to protect the city from ravaging. Mathews' men skirmished with the British until Arnold eventually retreated to Portsmouth to either be evacuated or reinforced in the closing days of the month.

paragraph: Mathews' company later merged with General George Washington and French Army troops led by the Comte de Rochambeau for the October 1781 Siege of Yorktown, the last major battle of the war. In the beginning of September, the fleet of the Comte de Grasse defeated a British fleet led by Sir Thomas Graves that had come to relieve British General Lord Cornwallis, who had built a stronghold in Yorktown, at the Battle of the Chesapeake. As a result of this victory, de Grasse blocked any escape by sea for Cornwallis. By late September Washington and Rochambeau's armies arrived, and the army and naval forces completely surrounded Cornwallis, leading to his surrender.

paragraph: Section::::Business pursuits.

paragraph: In the 1760s Sampson and a brother George Mathews ran a local inn and tavern, as well as a series of mercantile outposts along the frontier as far west as Greenbrier County. In their outposts they sold basic supplies but also specialty items including "spelling books, silk, hats, silver, and even tailor-made suits," and acted as unofficial bankers.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Sampson Mathews married to Mary Lockhart, a fellow Scotch-Irish immigrant.

paragraph: Mathews and his wife had a son, Sampson Mathews Jr., who served as a Virginia Delegate from Bath County for the 1809-1810 session of the Virginia General Assembly, representing the Federalist party. His adopted daughter (biological niece), Martha Mathews, married Gen. Thomas Posey, a US Senator from Louisiana (1812-1813) and Governor of Indiana Territory (1813-1816).

paragraph: Section::::Later life and death.

paragraph: At the conclusion of the war, Mathews retired to Richmond to practice law before returning to Augusta County. He served as the first high sheriff of Bath County when it was formed from Augusta County in 1791. He died in Staunton, Virginia in 1807.

paragraph: In his "Annals of Augusta County, Virginia" (1902), historian Joseph Addison Waddell said of Mathews: "Colonel Mathews was a man of strong character and sound integrity.
