Talk to him seriously.

Nicholas Pooran opted out of the ODI series where he could have spent some time at the crease to get him in form and familiarize himself with the BD bowlers. Sammy you must insist that these STAR players understand the importance of playing the longer formats and insist that they play. This loss burning me Dude. Then why bowl first after winning the toss when all recent historical evidence shows batting first is a winning formula.

Fletcher is past his sell date. Sorry Bro but its time to go as this is not the CPL. That's my boy but this should be his farewell series.

JC is coming off injury, also just returned from being dropped and had a marginal decision go against him so I will cut him some slack.

Brandon King's last 5 scores: 5, 23, 3, 1,1.

Team for tomorrow:

Greaves
Charles
Pooran
Carty
Chase
Powell
Fletcher
Shepherd
Motie
Aljo
Seales

And certain men lambasting Fletcher and not a word about King.

Please give us your opinion:

How many on your list can play spin?

The swinging ball can be played by how many ?

Now see on such wickets how they look clueless...just like Sammy?

King comes from good stock, so he is untouchable along with Cooley, Teflon Jimmy.

1. FLETCHER CANNOT BAT!
2. Post Fletcher's corresponding last 5 scores.
3. King recently made a century.
4. Except you are a voice of delusion, you cannot make an argument for Fletcher as a batsman.
5. King needs to up him game and I have said repeatedly, he should avoid T20s.

Shhhhh, couple men missing some key points.
a. Going insular pon Padans, Coley and King changes not one wit about Fletcher.
b. Sammy/CWI cyan too pull aside ones who are contractors...not employees. Men like Pooran have most of the handle and less of the blade. Let them start another Massa Rule and or Purge regime and let's see what happens

I never advocated for Fletcher! My understanding he is there because someone else was injured.

His time has passed. Interesting that TCI brings up Coley who one can credibly argue deserves his job more than Sammy deserves his! I notice in Sammy's lying response to his appointment he stated " me and my team" If that team means Reifer replaces Coley expect WI to.lose another lawsuit.
You ask a batting coach to act as interim head coach, then when you get a "head coach" you can't get away with shunting him aside( if that's what you do)

Fletcher had a good CPL while Hope and Rutherford are missing. They opted for experience.

Carty and Greaves have both showed some capabilities with the bat and have been in good form from the ODIS.

This is T20, a shorter format.
ODI form is irrevelant.
These players have problems facing spin or swing on wickets, as in St. Vincent.
Its why we are 2-0 with players who showed some capabilities .
Clueless as the head coach game plan and tactics.

The opponents are 22 to 24 years old; on average, they are learning.
What are our players learning ?

Look it is either he is fit to play in international cricket or not

In T20 cricket you cannot hide anyone in the field and anywhere in the field ....batting, bowling or fielding ... there is a risk of injury

btw.... the same holds for POORAN,......if yuh sick don 't play
