Sammy is the Demolition Man

Having destroyed the ODI team, head clapper Sammy has apparently abandoned ship and is on his way to demolish the test team…

Thats what happens when you claim credit for the miraculous work of Marlon Samuels that earned the Windies two lickit World Cups….inspite of you and not because of you…

Are you aware that the Windwards are the only region that is yet to produce a great International player.
How many regional tournaments has that region had?
How many :
U 15
U17
U19
4-day
This region believes in selecting players without competition.
Now Sammy is coming with the BS about scouts.
Who on earth will believe a scout from Bim after 25 years of failures?

telling yuh....i have said that Sammy was gifted with the greatest t20 side ever. The best batsman, the best bowler, the best allrounder and everything in between. Had Marlon samuels been in the 2009 squad, we'd have beaten sri lanka because he could master malinga and mendis, which he did in 2012. Secondly, sammy had a template from the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force to win t20 games, a template that changed t20 cricket forever. He also had half of the side that implemented that template in both the Champions League and the Ct20.

Allyuh doh understand how Sammy's handlers and sammy himself damaged WI cricket yuh know. Sammy's ascension was followed by the destruction of the test careers of Ramnaresh Sarwan , a player of Chappell-esque talent and technique, Jerome Taylor, the most talented West Indian fast bowler since Curtly Lynwall Elconn Ambrose, Dwayne Bravo, one of the most talented allrounders of all time whose test career was only 40 tests old and Christopher Henry Gayle, a batsman of rare power and most importantly, a leader of men. We have had so many talented players in the last 15 years who have entered international cricket rudderless because we have had have appointed captains who at their time of appointment, did not merit a place on the team and as a result, the team has been purged of its best players to maker the transition 'smooth'. I don't know if people know the history of Australian cricket in the late 70s and 80s but the then ACB tried something similar, with very similar results to what the WI are experiencing now

sudden is to be ignored with regards to anything serious about cricket

When Sammy was appointed WI cappo I told friends it'd set WI back 10yrs. Sadly, I was wrong it will be more tha
n a generation

"Consistent with the policy to expose young players, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Chris Gayle and Ramnaresh Sarwan has not been selected"

The above was a CWI statement in 2011, yet Gayle was one of the topWI run-scorers in both 2015 and 2019 WC.

Hilaire and Gibson robbed the man of achieving 10,000 runs in all formats (T20I not included) he ever played in; 0DI, LIST A, FC, T20 and TEST.
He missed so many tests while in the best form of his life. More importantly though they wrecked WI cricket with petty BA

you hate to be challenged on the nonsensical revisionist crap you post

you seem to believe only you can have some opinion, as shallow and parochial as it, on WI cricket

Not Dinas was for the most part a blight on WI cricket

Not Dinas wanted cricketers to bring back news so that WIPA could sabotage our cricket

Not Dinas counseled and asked certain cricketers to do certain things detrimental to the proper functioning of our cricket

that is why most things you post are seated around issues surrounding Sarwan, Lara, Gayle, Pollard, Big Bravo

and that is why Not Dinas tends to hate bajan players (especially captains) because they refused to participate in his schemes and in fact told the Bim president

that is the reason, Not Dinas, when confronted by the Bim cricket president on Mason, ran away like a scared puppy

In reply to sudden

and of course you resort to insults and general drivel as a response to facts you can't counteract.......you need help.

bajan cricketers need to have an iota of modesty and respect their glaring limitations. maybe then they might get somewhere. fighting for captaincy but don't know the most basic strategy...........like...um......not batting first at lords in overcast conditions versus broad and anderson

i see you never refuted what i said about Not Dinas

but with regard to captaincy i quote you this

In reply to sudden

And what Not Dinas has to do with the shyt you all producing these days?

In reply to Jumpstart

Sodden thinks you are Dinas....wrong

Sodden’s claims about Dinas are misguided. Dinas has consistently affirmed his commitment to preserving West Indies cricket, not undermining it. As the head of the West Indies Players' Association (WIPA), he has fought tirelessly for players' rights, even in the face of financial challenges.

It's crucial to keep in mind that significant financial contributions were made to support WIPA's initiatives by individuals like Chris Gayle, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Sarwan, Brian Lara, and an oil company in T&T. Their investments were not just monetary; they represented a united front for the betterment of all West Indies players, regardless of their nation. Dinas exemplified leadership by championing their interests and ensuring their voices were heard. Sir Ramphal made comments and was shocked at the attitude of West Indies cricket administrators. I have mentioned to Dinas to save all documents and write a book exposing the lack of leadership at the helm.

Sodden's criticisms appear unfounded, especially considering he was rejected by the public in Barbados during an election. It seems he has directed his frustrations towards others, blaming Mia for the state of affairs while she prepares to run for office again.

Now, with the recent revelations about WIPA’s struggles, one must ask: how is the organization faring since Dinas’s departure? Is it still functioning effectively, or has it succumbed to the challenges it faced?

Ultimately, it seems that Sodden needs to reevaluate his priorities. Instead of casting blame, perhaps it’s time for him to focus on constructive solutions for the future of West Indies cricket.

He is not intelligent to proceed with the latter, looking at the individuals his island has been producing. I am away, or I would chew his rass out .

tek de yampie out yuh eye first.

and why do you care? arent you all going it alone?

In reply to sudden


compared to the WI of recent times, those moderate successes are unparalleled........home series win against sri lanka in 2003, a tied series versus the best team in the world across 4 grueling tests, 2004 icc champions trophy 2006 icc champions trophy finalists(ironically the player of the tournament in the 2006 50 over triumph played a leading role in the 2012/2016 t20 triumphs).
