Why he (Sammy) was put there is a strawman argument. The argument is that between 2006-2008 we had talent laden teams. You (and Emir) are yet to demonstrate this with you reaching out in left field for Barath and Emir getting a tad personal. All I am asking is....where is the talent laden team?

The core of gayle's team were gayle and sarwan, tiger, DJ bravo, fidel, jerome taylor and denesh ramdin. Brendan nash came in 2009 and scored a hundred in the final test vs england at the Oval(I was there)and fast kemar roach came on the 2009


1. The man post stated 2006-2008 (tell him to change the heading) so your 2009 offerings make sense.
2. Taylor who I love never sustained success due to injuries.
3. Fidel was decent his contributions does not lend itself to talent-laden. (165 wkts at over 37.5, come on bro)
4. Ramdin - to use your line, you expect to be taken seriously?

ramdin has the joint most centuries by a pure West Indies WK(i'm not talking about clyde walcott who only kept for a time early in his career) and is only second to dujon when copming to half centuries....by one. So if ramdin is mediocre, so was jeff and we know dujon was a great wicketkeeper.

You see i take note of the circumstances in which both dujon and ramdin played. dujon played in a team where a batting contribution wasn't exactly needed most times because the top order would score a ton of runs an even if they did, the bowlers would clean up the opposition.

Ramdin played in a team which was stable for three years of his career....2007-2010. before that you had the digicel strikes which caused the wi to field a half strength team to sri lanka. After that ypu had the takeover of the WI by the three headed SL monster and the subsequent pillaging of the team. The second string sides continued under the next administration, albeit even worse

You see i take note of the fact that Ramdin is a Tit and Dujon is a yardie.


And just like that, I've distilled your post to it's bare bones. lol
