Prove him wrong.

I think that it would be up to the Author of the thread to support his assertion with credible facts. Unless the Author is now admitting that Sammy is the one who led this team to their rise in white ball cricket?

Powell performance as player was abysmal...In qualifiers in Zimbabwe......flopped very poorly against associate spinners....got dropped...never played ODI..

As player, his performance in T-20 has been below par...

New selection policy....takes performance data for selection....Powell surely not sure pick ...with emerging of Rutherford...

As far as clapping pavilion...by Sammy....I agree... Clapping trademark owner...Sammy...

Powell's head is hard. He does not listen. Harken back to why he left Jamaica to play for Barbados in the CPL. He refused to work with Chanderpaul and Ambrose. Now it is Sammy. He obviously thinks he is an icon and above being coached.

Let dem tark nah!!

Powell was a smart captain but there were concerns about his inconsistent performance with the bat and he hardly ever bowls now. There are others who can perform his role with the bat and ball, so as the cappo and being an automatic pick, like Brathwaite as test cappo, it would impact the team.

But I do not believe Hope is the T-20 answer as a captain.

I would have gone for Akeal.

We all that know Sammy is a thorn in you all.sight from time he appeared in cricket

People hating will never stop.... people will dream of imaginary theories to make a point to hate

In reply to voiceofreason



Maan....me forgot .... Sammy did win de T-20 world cup in de WI as he promised...right ?

In reply to Narper

if we win Sammy is the cricketing equivalent Pep Guardiola(never mind him having the t20 cheat code as captain) and if we lose is it wasn't meant to be. sammy's appointment has no logic in it, just like his captaincy appointment had no logic in it. sarwan had been saying that since this latest episode of weekend at bernie's began. no logic, just nationalistic, insular idiocy

In reply to Narper



Well he did get them from 9 to 3rd ranking ... One step at a time... Noted your admission that Rovman was on remote control.

In reply to Jumpstart...
Sammy's much touted so called man management skills are non existent today... the clapping is still there but no apparent effect on players.
As was obvious....Sammy's WI world cup champion teams contained seasoned world class players. Didnt require much to manage these players but he was touted as a great cappo
today Sammy has brought nothing new to the table...over the years he didnt do much as a coach in CPL....now he is de big cahuna....ONE man show in ALL formats

In reply to voiceofreason


I said he resisted....hence he is gone
Hope will resist too...and he will be gone too

In reply to Narper


I've been trying to tell people this for years... sammy never won a cpl, never even qualified for a CT20 final.....he had very good players. People say the team had egos and needed a leader, again i say that's rubbish. People forget that gayle reached the semi finals of the wt20 in 2009 where we got flummoxed by a Sri Lanka spin attack that had been causing havoc to every side in the tournament save pakistan........a great t20 side and there was no shame losing to them. on the way to that semifinal, we beat england, australia and india, the reigning champions coming into the tournament, another great t20 team. Had gayle had the personnel sammy had in 2012, the result would have been the same

An' Das 'cause he got upset that the. Camera. caught that he was drawing stick-me. Instead of making notes

In reply to hubert
Yes

In reply to Narper

I have been writing about this for a decade. Cricket is the only sport in which a captain makes on-field decisions. Teams have been finding ways to get information out to captains in real-time. Sammy and Ambrose are the only two who get information out.
Ambi walks the sideline.
I have no problem with Sammy taking responsibility for all decisions,
