LETTER TO MAROON FANS FROM COACH DAREN SAMMY
Nov. 14, 2023, 3:07 p.m.
Dear West Indies Fans,

Being able to address you as the Head Coach of the West Indies Men’s white ball team is something I’ll always cherish.

Having experienced the joys of playing, I saw how we came together as one when I was your captain. I know and believe we can achieve greater things. So I welcome you once again to be part of the Home Team as we face England in the upcoming series.

On the field, starting December 3rd, WI will be home to face England as part of the festive season, as we go through to December 21st. It always feels great to see the West Indies flags flying, hearing our music and seeing the dancing in the stands as we celebrate what is truly a unique way of watching the game in this part of the world.


Every match; no matter where we play, no matter who we play against; has the ability to create history and a lasting legacy. I know the feeling: we saw it in 2012 in Sri Lanka and we witnessed it again in 2016 in India.

I want to urge you to join your “Home” team and rally round the West Indies when WI come home to face England in December. Let’s fill the stands with our pride and joy; let’s paint the town Maroon and have a blessed Christmas Season on and off the field.

Yours truly,

Daren.

Like a Somalian pirate, perhaps? Cappo of the ship

In reply to Curtis

I don't mind the letter but why the need to insult fans by calling them names?

In reply to Curtis
people who GT(get through) in positions they not supposed to be in does usually be territorial

In reply to Curtis

LB is either Scammy himself, courtesy or courtesy's poodle sudden/wifan/overthrow etc

In reply to Castled

I see. But why call us fans Morons, as per title of thread?

Is this a real letter or a joke? If it's real it is too self-aggrandizing

Instead of writing letters Sammy should spend that time trying to get his coaching credentials in order to justify his job ....

In reply to Kay

Why?

He's been handed everything on a silver platter for his entire worthless career as a cricketer and now as a "coach".

In reply to SnoopDog

indeed......CWI to sammy is the gift that keeps on giving

In reply to Curtis

freudian slip....only fools keep following the same bunch of misfits who keep doing the same things and expect different results

In reply to googley

You should call on the Maroon Players to talk with their bats and balls. That is the easiest way to win back maroon fans. You perform, and we'll pay to see you play. Simple as that, no amount of clap and ole talk will work.

In reply to Castled

Che, I confess. It was me

Advantage of hiring a rich coach: they have great PR teams managing this kind of shit

In reply to sudden

You ah bad man, that was hilarious.
