LOL. The actual evidence tells a different story but enjoy your fantasy world. At least we made it to the knockout round and lost a close contest this last worldcup. Trending in the right direction I say...compared to the outing (big field excuse and all) before this year's worldcup.

Rile up THIS ..and compare it to two worldcup trophies and at least getting out of the first round in 2024. Not to mention record breaking performances against England in ODIs at home + 3-0 win vs RSA + plus rise in rankings.

Facts are stubborn things. Y'all disrespect for Sammy is based on nothing but insularity, an unfounded superiority complex and general nonsense.

Come on bro……you better than this.

Yes we made it out of the first round…..by beating Papua New Guinea, Uganda, and New Zealand?

New Zealand is a good team for sure so kudos to that. But the others? We also beat Afghanistan after both teams had already qualified.

When it came to crunch…we lost

I guess beating PNG and Uganda is better than losing to Scotland and Ireland in World Cup qualifying.

You can make your point without descending into homerism.

And for the record….i don endorse Jumpy’s lead post which I’m certain was made just to rile up peeps like yourself. And like a bee to honey……you took the bait hook, line, and sinker.

As I said…..you way better than that man

More excuse making. Steups. Conveniently leaving out two whole championship trophies. You can make whatever excuse you want for the nonsense. I support Windies cricket ..and I supported Polly's team that didn't make it to the knockout too...but that team flopped mightily.

Everytime time a Sammy led team wins y'all come with the excuses; RSA B team, we only beat PNG, Uganda and New Zealand (interesting sleight of hand of hand with New Zealand there), we only beat AFG after both teams qualified..blah blah blah. You operating from the SAME playbook as Jumpy.

Every team not named India lost when it came to the crunch. Btw.

Jumpy has been obsessing with the nonsense forever and you never called him out but have time to address me? If you don't condone Jumpy's post..then why not say so? Why you coming at me? YOU should be better.

Some of y'all just need to admit that you prefer Windies to lose once your homies are not in charge. I will respect that more.

WI faltered in the Wc because of Sammy's reliance on his countrymen from the Windward Islands.

Obed McCoy should have been replaced by Kyle Mayers who could bowl the same two or three overs as McCoy was the SIXTH BOWLER, THE top Five being Joseph Russell, Motie Hosein and Chase.

Charles should have been then dropped, Mayers inserted in his place giving room for the extra batter in Hetmyer in the middle order

Hope
Mayers
Pooran
Hetmyer
Powell
Rutherford
Russell
Chase
Motie
Hosein
Joseph
...........this should have been the team!

JC has his best stats vs RSA. Dropping him for Mayers t play his first game in a do or die situation was the biggest mistake!

Mayers provides a bowling option and batting wise Mayers+ Heymyer > Johnson Charles + McCoy

You seem triggered by the fact that we didn't win crap without Sammy. I deal with evidence, not a bunch of theories steeped in insularity.

If you would pay attention you would understand why that group of guys needed insightful leadership and not frenism.. to be successful as a unit. That is why you living in this constant state of being confounded by the success..and wondering why Polly could not replicate it. .1, 2, 3..here come the excuses ...bigger grounds, Covid..you already done trot out 2nd string teams etc etc.

by that measure, sammy needed Darren Ganga's trinidad red force template because he has no tactical acumen of his own(a script he was still using in 2024)
