Look at the way Sangakkara is charging onto the field to congratulate the hero - McCarthy. Dejected faces in the stands from home fans. Sammy can't believe the fact that his side has lost six games in a row now. They had this game in control, but McCarthy was simply outstanding in the way he paced his innings to steer Jamaica home.

Narps I just saw someone posted this
Sammy would be a great actor like how he pretends to be a cricket player .
He knows how to get the camera on himself as all great actors do.
Now I must admit the above is creative.

Sammy:
"We just didn't execute our plans. When you have four, five guys on the legside, you want the ball on the leg-side. The opponents have come and used the conditions well than us. We just didn't have the mental toughness. Obviously we are disappointed. We still have four games. Hopefully we will play well for some pride."

Sammy was let down by his team- Akmal, Jerome Taylor, Watson and a few others.
I feel sorry for him, his team and St Lucia.
I rooted for him as if they were Trinidad playing
Not fair

It just goes to show...captaincy is highly overated in T20s
Many here claimed Sammy is the greatest cappo ever since he brought home two T20 World cups
Most of us knew it was the seniors with vast amount of T20 experience in this format who brought home the world cups

Not sure why you are devaluing him though.
His leadership of his men was critical. WI is the most difficult team to captain and Sammy is a good man, a strong leader and more than capable cricketer.

At the end of the day, it is a team sport.
When you have Jerome Taylor bowling tata, Watson fishing, Akmal doing what he does best and a host of washed up stars, you cannot blame Sammy, who by the way, out batted them.

You should know by now that no matter how many superstars u have on your team, they not winning a damn thing without good leadership. cause one thing i know about a team full of stars is that every one of them think they know better than everybody else, and if left to themselves the result will always be chaos. So stop the foolishness and give Sammy his credit. Getting that band of primadonnas to work as a cohesive unit could not have been easy by any stretch of the imagination.

I honestly believe that Sammys leadership greatly helped in the T20 wc. Especially the second one. He took the skills experiences and talents and used them efficiently

If it will make some alyuh feel better, I would reappoint Sammy as WI T20 cappo over the Name man anyday.
In any case I called for the inclusion of Sammy in the WI team since the last CPL
Sammy was a 'reborn Christian' when he chastised the WICB after leading the side to victory in the 2nd WC.
I am no longer inclined to share licks on Sammy
But 6 in a row is 6 in a row

"After six successive defeats in the 2017 season, the time is right to make a switch in leadership and incorporate some fresh thinking as the team completes this season and builds for 2018," the franchise said in a statement on Thursday (August 17). "The Stars management would like to take this opportunity to thank Darren Sammy for his contribution as captain this season and throughout the last four editions of Hero CPL," it added.
"If it were not for Darren, St. Lucian cricket would not have the standing it does in world cricket and his ability to lead both on and off the field remains unquestioned. However, after the results that we have seen over the first half of the 2017 Hero CPL, a change is needed to freshen things up as we look to win the remaining four fixtures this season," said Stars' owner Jay Pandya.

The Gujarat-born real estate developer aims to professionalise the game in the country.
An Indian-American cricket enthusiast has announced plans to build as many as eight cricket stadiums across the US at an estimated cost of $2.4 billion to professionalise the game in the country.
Gujarat-born Pandya is a real estate developer in the US and had been travelling across the globe with his two sons to watch popular international cricket matches.
"At most of these venues, me and my sons found the audience mostly from either India or the United States. So there is a great market and readymade audience for cricket in the US," Pandya said.
