This T-20 team as good as it is( on paper), really a different proposition sans Gayle, Russell, Bravo (Big and maybe Lil) and Sammy

If some of these folks are honest,they will admit that the selectors have a very difficult job.

The selectors didnt do badly for this T-20 squad given whats available.

Other than Sammy, Gayle and Pooran, and Carlos as skipper. Bravo is injured I think and Russell is banned.

Only other issue being Simmons being selected in spite of not having played any cricket in half a year.


Just pointing out how easy this T-20 team looks to beat since the removal of certain players, especially Sammy as skipper

How about Sammy the motivator?

Folks can bury their heads in the sand as much as they want to but there is a difference between playing with passion and just playing.

In any professional group setting, leadership matters.

I think Sammy was a vital cog in our T-20 results, he grew into the role, I dont think that can be ignored.

Poor Carlos.

I had said at the time of his sacking and i think it remains true, that no professional sporting organization in any sport in the history of the world, as ever sacked a captain immediately after he jus won a trophy, even where they are not performing.

The captain either resigns, or the decision makers stick with him as long as the team can afford to carry him,i.e, as long as they are winning.

You keep making excuses....enough with the excuses.....I hate excuses, a clarion call was made for certain players, who were available were brought back, minus Sammy (allowing Nasser Hussain to trick him with that interview, follow by an over reacting board) a tragedy i not sure we can reverse, Brathwaite has no business being Captain here

the reality is we are just not good enough right now, you may win a tournament on form but year round consistent play requires a lot more
these "stars" (using this very very loosely) need to make themselves available for our domestic leagues to gel and help current upcoming players, do not let the rest of world trick you....true stars shine

Dude..wtf are u braying about?

This is not the ODI series..what is wrong wid u twats talking about no difference with the "stars"

Check the make up of the World Champion T-20 XI team and tell me if thats the team that played today.

KMT


Gayle, big Bravo and Rusell, and Sammy as skipper, are not 4 players you can remove from any cricket team, and expect it to continue to function.

The issue with out T-20 team is not the issue we have been complaining about with the ODI team!!!
