Daren Sammy is an embarrassment. His batting is poor. He is not bowling and he is dropping catches.How long can he continue pretending to be a cricketer? This is a FARCE.

if there is, it has to do with calling out inconsistency and double standards

Why you going after Dukes so hard doosie? We all have the right change our minds when presented with new evidence, no?
As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."

Worst than a farce. Scammy was a fraud.
Leaders lead by example and that fraud was only good at hiding and clapping.
Remember when he would promote himself up the batting order when his team needed only a few runs to win with lots of overs to spare? Just so he could hit the winning run and have his pic in the morning papers. FRAUD.

For purposes of clarification, the Ralph Emerson quote was to say that Dukes does not have a little mind. It was in no way intended to suggest that you have a little mind

Simple case of you never miss the water ..till..
Winning two world cups followed by not even being close to sniffing them in his absence is quite irrefutable evidence..but peeps are still constrained by by narrow minds even if they have been proven wrang wrang wrang. Having talent is one thing..but being able to leverage that talent as a leader in a dynamic setting on the field of play is clearly underestimated...and whomever you trying to callout as being hypocrite is probably just being a grown up admitting that he may have previously missed a trick in assessing the situation based on the mountain of evidence that has piled up since then. I respect that.
Some will hold on to the hatred and the illogical position to their graves..I dunno just to prove that they were right?? Very much akin to DJT supporters...no matter how much crap piles up...they don't want to admit that he is a sk...t.
In the meanwhile...lemme go replay the highlights of that 2012 T20 win. Arguably the best all-round performance of that match came from????

You can speculate all you want. I am dealing in measurable matters. What do they say...you can't manage what you can't measure??? The theme is LEEDAHSHIP Iyah.

Maybe the most irrational, data-less nonsense I've ever read here.
The ones for which there wasn't even a sniff... did they have 9 of The Greatest T20 PLAYERS the
world has ever seen in their prime? I don't even think you believe yourself but if you do I am shocked
and disappointed in my level of mis-judgement.

Data-less??
You mean the data doesn't align with your qualitative and presumably biased assessment. The data says two world cup wins followed by no sniff. You can do all the permutations of subjectivity you want...about who was in prime and who was not in prime and who bridged the gap of those teams vs the no sniff teams etc etc, but to do that you will have to apply the same argument to Clive Lloyd's leadership no?
Unless you think that leadership and teamwork do not matter?
Nice try with the 'in their prime' argument though.

Winning two world cups followed by not even being close to sniffing them in his absence is quite irrefutable evidence..but

Don't let anyone tell you that you're broke like a Sammy stroke. You'll be in bad shape.
His batting is poor

How do I what???
Sammy as captain
2012 Champs
2014 Semis lost in a rain affected match
2016 Champs
No Sammy
2021 ..out in what? Round 2? Many of our T20 'studs' played in that one. Hence Brezerk's attempt at coverage via the 'prime' argument.
Lets not talk about after that.

Chough Camos, look to me for all your answers, matter of fact, it's in display in front of your very eyes.
Tilt your focus to the top righthand section of my post and there you'll have it.

Darren Sammy is the best option for coach. Had Chanders been the white ball coach, it would have been the best.
The problem with West Indians is you can never please everyone. Some of the best and most successful coaches in the world don’t have certifications.
Did ravi Shastri have any when he became coach?
Brendon McCullum
Many current IPL coaches are ex players coaching some of the richest and most successful franchises the game has ever seen (I’m not an IPL fan but that’s another story altogether)
Many past players gravitate to coaching and they have certain skills that you can’t learn in a classroom.
Let’s give Sammy a fair shot.
