When a previous batch of million dollar men delivered 2 world cups....Sammy got all the credit ....even to today......Sammy batty lickers keep boasting about his superior man management skills.....but where are those skills today?.....how come he can t get current million dollar men to perform consistently as a team?

To be honest....if Powell don t deliver a Toss win....we are facing a 5-0 whitewash. Forget all this talk about continue to go hard in the powerplay even if you get out ..... the fact is the top order looks clueless batting first.

BTW.....'niggle' has become a buzz word in WI cricket....like 'a feather in de cap'...implying you are a hard working player who needs a rest OR is niggle the politically correct way of saying you are dropped?

Yesteryear Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes used to score tons with real niggles.. Going even further back...Kanhai and Sobers always played with these so called niggles....

If you keep Halliwell off the wagon , we win...

I have doubts about a win tomorrow.
Notice when the game is close. Sammy looks for the camera, going to the sidelines and sending in instructions.
When he gets his rass kicked , he hides.
