I fully endorse your view...many players without certificate can perform with great success as coach....no dispute regarding this aspect....on the contrary, many certified coaches failed miserably......but Sammy appointment for me is poor....
1. The mode of appointment - Totally opaque... shrouded with secrecy....who applied...how many applied... Whether Sammy was the best among all the candidates????? CWI never released any statement...No posters have any information...
2.The eligibility criteria as laid down in CWI advertisement..... totally cast aside in Sammy appointment...one of the many criteria......5 years experience was one mandatory requirement at international or regional first class.... Sammy doesn't have 5 years experience...then what prompted CWI to appoint a personal, whose eligibility criteria doesn't satisfy to be appointed.
3. Sammy is excellent man manager....he managed a temperamental group of players Gayle, Samuels,Bravo , Pollard....won two world cup trophies without much personal performance to show.
4.Brendon McCullum as player lead from front with performance....in all format...He moulded his players into aggressive unit as captain.On the contrary, Sammy almost always was dependent on other players like Shiv, Gayle other established players to win....not a single good player developed during his tenure as captain..... ....nothing about building team but simply man management...
5.Present team requires a coach, who can technically, strategically and technologically build a strong set of players. Sammy as player and captain failed miserably in ODI, inspite having good team.No experience as coach in ODI.
To wrap up , it's a back door entry,for supporting the administration...bound to fail ....hope we can qualify for World Cup ODI....in easy group....then ,from there, we can talk, stock.......
