All that is irrelevant if you don't have your compatriots and benefactors in place to hand you the West Indies captaincy and the West Indies coaching mantle without having to show the prerequisite qualification

Vor soon come seh Andre neva win a series vs a op team. But then a man who cyan know di difference between white and red ball cricket nor winning a test away vs giants as opposed to beating another minnow in white ball should be shunned.

He posited the weakest excuse for Sammy's appointment. Same one Hilaire used to push or tried to push aside Nash, Taylor, Marwan, Ramin, Shiv, Bravo, Benn and Gayle. What have 3 turnovers of their replacements achieved? Small men. Small minds

Still trying to figure out why Sammy is the Head coach of the West Indies.

I agree that he got a raw deal with the WI head coach position... but what makes him the best coach in the Caribbean?

Same reason he was made captain of the team when he couldn't make it on merit!

His only contribution was to spin toss and clap likeca mindless seal while the likes of Samuels, Shiv and GayleM etc did the heavy lifting .

In other words , he rode on the backs of those who did the things he himself was incapable of doing

What's happening with the white ball squads? The plan is to do same with the red ball, and Sammy will be knighted lol

Raw deal my ass. Lost to Bangladesh right in his backyard: Kingston, Jamaica. Out-coached by Phil Simmons! Best coach based on what? His qualifications? I guess is the same qualifications that you pseudo-intellectuals boast and brag about but when we put allyuh to do the work allyuh clueless and yield zero results.

Results ! Results ! Results!

Thanks Andre for your service!

The same ones who bawling insularity defending and promoting their own!

Bunch of hypocrites!

What parameters were used to make Coley the best coach.....Started with win against Australia....series drawn....lost every other series... couldn't win at home against Bangladesh.....then , in last series of his career...a win against Pakistan..... series drawn....

How many series victory.....

Apart from victory.....A coach is at times known .....by the core team he built during his tenure .... looking at the test playing team.....the entire squad is in flux......no core players....

Although, I vehemently criticize Sammy' s appointment as white ball coach....I still consider his appointment as white and red ball coach is totally bad in law....but one should not shy away from the fact,that the white ball team specially ODI has made good progress....just 12 points behind top 6 teams..... core players has been formed....players are competing for spots....still works under progress but very good improvement...

Be that as it may, Removal of Coley is justified and a correct decision.....

Method and procedure adopted to appoint Sammy is bad, but Sammy should be given 1 years....to see not only wins but also how test team is built.....
