Why is Sammy not in the T20 squad

 
Narper 2016-09-06 09:31:03 

Twenty20 Squad

Samuel Badree,Carlos Brathwaite - Captain, Dwayne Bravo

Johnson Charles, Andre Fletcher, Jason Holder

Evin Lewis, Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard

Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell, Andre Russell

Marlon Samuels, Jerome Taylor, Chadwick Walton

Rwmoved as cappo....but why is he out of the squad?
Sammy performed very well in the CPL...as long as Sammy is willing to bowl his 4 overs then he is strong contender in any WI team

Jason Holder has no place there

Wasn't this addressed during the FL T20Is?

 
Narper 2016-09-06 09:32:34 

In reply to Andy99

We all know why he is dropped....but didn't he attend the Florida retreat? Is he not in contention for a place in the side?

Ramdin is back in maroon....why not Sammy?

Ramdin dropped from T20 squad + Test squad.
Wasn't dropped from the ODI squad.

I agree that Sammy should be in the squad

I feel it's the wrong move to drop Sammy from our OD team,seems like some kind of a vendetta.

As long as you "cuss out" yuh employers.... there is a good chance you will be FIRED regardless of your performance (or lack thereof, in Sammy's case).

De very same people who were saying that he should be nowhere near the test team were cussing him after he announced his retirement from test cricket. big grin

Well Narps you have outdone yourself. Two consecutive creditable posts. Narper en fuego!

A little bit of Monday Morning Quarterbacking but nevertheless a valid question.

DUMBass...dis thread was started before the tour.

Can you read and comprehend.

My call for Sammy is based on his CPL performance...where he batted AND BOWLED...and outperformed many on this tour

Going by that Devon Smith and Nikita Miller should've been 2 of the first names in the WI Test XI for the past few years.

 
voiceofreason 2016-09-28 22:41:37 

So wait? We no longer should reward players for their performance?

Panty Merle just vex because his Bajan brethren stanking up the joint and will continue to do so because they are just not good enough.

 
natty_forever 2016-09-29 08:38:47 

In reply to voiceofreason... but your Dottie avoided all that by not bowling and batting as late as possible in T20Is, if at all. Another Miller good at dung heap level. Selectors saying, just like the other dung heap bully dottie, we know what they bring to the international level so no matter how they perform at dung level, no need to select them.

Dude the fact is that we won! We won because he was an astute captain who knew his limitations and did not allow for his ego to get in the way of the team winning.

T20 and tests are totally different....TOTALLY

And Sammy has a proven T20 record with many T20 leagues around the world.

I will admit Sammy caused his own personal performance problem by not bowling his quota for a long period in T20Is..but we did see he could still do it in the CPL...successfully

Current chief selector BRUNG...said they were selecting based on regional performances....so....why is Sammy not selected???

Proven what?
Scamster has played for 9 teams outside of the WI.

Glamorgan - 6 matches, 58 runs at 19, 4 wickets at 47, 8.30 Econ.

Hampshire - 7M, 70R at 14, 6W at 21, 9.10E.

Hobart - 11M, 123R at 24, 3W at 73, 9.16E.

Notthinghamshire - 4M, 82R at 41, 3W at 30, 8.18E.

Zalmi - 10M, 140R at 28, 4W at 24, 8.72E.

Rangpur - 10M, 104R at 13, 4W at 35, 7.36E.

RCB - 2M, 13R at 7, 0W, 8.33E.

Sunrisers - 26M, 388R at 22, 16W at 29, 8.77E.

Titans - 10M, 78R at 8, 9W at 22, 8.33E.

Notice the Econ rates?
Without him being captain and choosing when to hide and when to bowl only for 1 team he went under 8 an over.

You should know...I called out Sammy more than many on this board for hiding...and I believe Sammy became complacent...and even stopped bowling...and WICB/Coach ignored or encouraged this...

I have looked at a different Sammy in the CPL....he knew his job was on the line based on his comments after the T20 WC....he delivered for the zouks...he showed he has it in him to contribute fully...with bat and ball...in the 3 hour long T20 format

With his experience, in my opinion Sammy has a place in the WI T20 team

You can argue for Smith and Miller on another thread yuh know.

WHY have these teams picked him?????

Based on WHAT?

They have access to his stats like you and I have...

\

How much of them u see picked him twice?
Only probably Sunrisers.

All d teams get fooled by the shithound that is the Scamster and they pick him, only when he play for them then they realize what shit they did.

 
natty_forever 2016-09-29 12:16:43 

In reply to Narper... that would be just as stupid as this one.

big grin

However, Sammy's response during the interview after winning the T20 WC was like Gayle's, unacceptable. Also, like Gayle they should have brought him before a DC and charges laid and a hearing conducted and punishment meted as necessary.

The vindictive approach was not approved by Natty for Gayle, hence I cannot for Sammy.

In reply to Andy99

Because he wanted be a specialist batsman at #8....not going to cut it.

All those picked him to be their allrounder

I have stated before...Sammy must consistently bowl his full quota...otherwise he would not be considered for any decent T20 team

 
century 2016-09-29 23:07:45 

Results matter , by any means necessary, knowing when to bowl, when to move to slips, when to bat first, and yes when to clap, it may not be pretty , but the results is what matter , I once had a CEO who said to me I don't care if you spend the entire day at the beach, just ensure that all your matrix goals are achieved,

When will the baby boomers on CC understand it's all about results, gone are the days of pace like fire if you cyah tek a wicked all day.
