Sammy get off your arse and do your job!

 
Cuter 2015-07-02 08:09:11 

you should have gone to bat after Ross Taylor to up the ran rate
however, you waited until the game was almost gone to come in to bat. You have done this many times!

you keep making the same facking mistakes man!

I expected you to take charge last night but you disappoint me once again.


Sorry, I cant support that shit confused

 
djdrastic 2015-07-02 08:18:46 

His job is to sponge off everybody and do nothing.
I would say he is doing an A+ job so far.

In reply to djdrastic

the guy is my home boy, I support him but he needs to take responsibility.


I mean, he is one of the power hitters on the team.

I expected him to come in, play himself in and then take it to pollard.

but No, waited until he has no choice but to lash every ball and he gets out

Ross Taylor needs to be dropped. He slowed down the game and stalled completely when Fletcher got out

 
Cuter 2015-07-02 09:31:39 

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

very true


this is why Sammy needed to come in after him

 
FuzzyWuzzy 2015-07-02 09:34:59 

In reply to Cuter

Both Sammy and pollard been doing strange things with their batting orders

 
Cuter 2015-07-02 09:38:49 

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

I saw Pollard take responsibility in the last game in Bim


He didn't win but he gave them a fight!

I didnt see that from Sammy last night

 
RoyK 2015-07-02 09:53:23 

The lost the game when Fletcher ran out Peterson..

 
Gmoney 2015-07-02 09:55:00 

I hear players intentionally throw games for various reasons and Sammy as captain did seems like he wants to win the game last night.

 
Cuter 2015-07-02 10:10:52 

In reply to Gmoney

If he wanted to win the game, he would have come in after Ross Taylor, play himself in then lash ball

When has Sammy ever lead?
I have been calling him a part timer for years

In reply to Cuter

Curious. This was his modus operandi for much of his tenure as west indies captain. You never complained then. On the contrary, you defended him for doing then exactly what you bawlin about now.

What changed for you to get so indignant about it now?

He did lead from the front against the Tallawahs....the front of the hiding club lol

 
TheTrail 2015-07-02 12:14:34 

Not clear! lol lol lol

Somebody christened him the Rear Leader a couple years ago. A play on the Dear Leader handle affectionately assigned to him by his supporters.

Look....Sammy is a passionate cricketer and I have no doubt he wants the very best for WI cricket and put himself in the firing line in pursuit of that goal. He's not the only one to do it and take flak in the process.

That said.....after initially taking on responsibility...opening the bowling in test matches....batting at 4 in a world cup match etc....from about the 2nd year in his tenure, he displayed a tendency to shirk responsibility....especially in LO cricket. Not bowling his quota of overs or outright not bowling...seeming to bring himself on as soon as a wicket fell etc. He never bowled at the death in LO cricket and maybe that's just someone who knows his strengths and weaknesses and allows others to utilise their strengths.

To me that suggests a lack of confidence...which is understandable. What's beyond dispute in my mind is that Sammy has over achieved in the international arena and that's a credit to him. He's gone on to carve out quite a lucrative cricketing career as a result.

But the apparent shirking thing isn't new and no one should be surprised when it happens

In reply to imusic

Sammy has won games for WI

Its not like he has not done it before

I remembered his last Australian Series in the Caribbean, He took the fight to the Aussies

 
imusic 2015-07-02 12:42:23 

In reply to Cuter

So you're surprised by his decisions in the last match?

You never saw that coming. Taken completely off guard?

Must be....otherwise..why are you suddenly so vocal about it?

Sammy will come good Bro. I too believe that he needs to promote himself up the order. Big bats KP and Ross Taylor have not delivered either so that does not help.

Needs to bowl Kyle Mayers more.

 
jen 2015-07-02 14:19:33 

Zouks have been the Fletcher, Charles and fast bowler show so far. The rest batters are letting them down big time. Kyle Mayers is a liability with the bat. Sammy rarely performs for Zouks yet he decimates better international attack and finish off games?? Can only remember Sammy finishing off Barbados for Zouks couple season ago but that's it.

Davids should bat at 3, KP 4, Roscoe 5, Sammy or whoever else other than Mayers at 6.

Yes you have called out Sammy in the past. Of course I have too and contrary to popular belief we are not biased individuals like most on this board who refuse to call a spade a spade even when the spade is our spade.

 
imusic 2015-07-02 17:05:38

Hehehehehe...

Ahhh bwoy...VOR mussi de pon meds.

Truth be told...not the first Cuter calling out Sammy. Only that he tends to it in a special kinda way.

Cheeks when him unda him guinness will say a lil' thing too...

But VOR saying him not biased is like saying Onry has the best footwork of all batsmen to have ever played the game.

End of day, Sammy is who he is...caan expect fi get milk outta stone. WYSIWYG...

Gabriel has always had good showings in the CPL, I remember he use to always out Johnson Charles. My views on him aint change, don't move the ball an inch, won't trouble international batsmen.

 
sunfish 2015-07-02 20:06:52 

The Zouks should drop Sammy because he's not contributing..
