How has removing the Captaincy working for us? Powell took WI from 9th to 3rd in ICC ranking, now the new captain lost all his matches, which is threatening to decline our ICC ranking. Sammy and CWI selectors need to explain to fans all over the region, how changing the captaincy was in the best interest of West Indies or was it just in the best interest of Sammy, who is now ranting at the team and captain?

Yeah, but he had the option to decline the captaincy just like he did in tests.

That said, Powell should still be cappo.

Scammy wants Yes-Men
Powell captained from his heard and ignored Scammy directions.
Yes it worked for Windies except in the World cup super 8.

That’s the recipe for continual decline of West Indies cricket, when the interest of the Coach takes precedence over the interest of the overall success of the team.

Then Powell punctuated the message with a resounding 79 not out, with a real captain-like innings, pure licks to the boundary big grin

In the 2nd match Sammy was seen on camera showing open disgust (gesticulating with annoyance) at action on the field. How much commitment and respect does he expect from his players with that open display. Fear is not respect, public embarrassment of team-members is one of the worst leadership action
