Put up Charles' numbers!

Put up Fletcher's numbers!

King is better than these two combined.

You just gave Sammy an A for T20 and B+ for ODI, and now complaining about him being made test coach, you and the DOC is on the same page.

Telling you now. It’s down to coaching and his team orders are, if it wasn’t down to that and he was allowed to settle in and launch after playing himself in , he’d have far better numbers.

Give it up, those are very poor numbers, my question to you do the rest of the team has similar orders, or it's just for the King.

No, mostly brilliant bowling this series, unlike some others, who threw their wickets away.

As far as I am concerned the coach select this side, this side failed miserably, coach failed miserably. However, we reward mediocrity, so...

Dropped or not selected due to an knee surgery?

You good.

CHARLES CANNOT BAT!

His only good quality is wicket-keeping. and we don't need that,
as we have Hope and Pooran, and Jangoo (if Scammy pick him).

Oh did I mention, CHARLES CANNOT BAT!!!!!

Charles was dropped after the World cup and before the CPL. He was picked again because he topped the aggregates in the CPL. Knee surgery came after the CPL. This T20 cricket so your opinion on whether or not he can bat holds no weight. Focus on Brandon King's extravagant record please.

You mention Hope and Pooran but I suggest you consider the latter's commitment to WI cricket as he is picking and choosing assignments at will. Why does he refuse to play ODIS when it is an opportunity for him to spend some time at the crease and familiarise himself with the opposition. Sammy needs to find Men who are committed to WI cricket.

Pooran: 19, 35, 38, 14, 7 ,0, 1 ,5 ,15.

He better. Well maybe not, as his performance is not in question.

King is surely better than Fletcher, but not Charles, King avg 5.85, and Charles plus Fletcher combined avg is 9.5.

Is that a serious question? In which h series of Lloyd's great team did Lloyd not put up numbers,? In say ten "WC" matches did Sammy do anything of note in 2 or more? Bravo, Ramdin, Gayle, all setting fields and marshalling bowling. Who apart from.the bowler in consultation with Cat( not even Viv) could set field on Lloyd's team? Credit, really?

Why is it so difficult to give Sammy credit for 2 WC wins,if Sammy had won one. You could say he was lucky, 2 wins a reasonable person may agree that he had some input in the 2nd cup.if Sammy had failed those detractors like you and many of the mb would continue to.post about the losses.
Give the man his dues and move on.
I am trying to post while driving.
