Scammy team lacking batting depth

He is a poor ass selector. Looking at that team - one has to wonder where offense coming from…

Huh...Sammy has a team?

In reply to Cricket_101

You mean lacking batting skills.

But do they have aggression? That is what he promised us.

Your correction is duly noted Sir.

I was both please and disappointed in the events of this first test.

Please:

1 The new direction being taken
2 The we seem to be developing a good bowling unit, barring secual scandal
3 We competed for large parts of the game

Disappointed:
1 Sexual scandal
2 Coach being too overtly expressive of emotion at bad decisions by umps and subsequent mistakes match interview. This I think affect psyche of an already weak team
3 The poor umpiring it itself

Who are the alternatives? Talk about spinning top in mud

In reply to Cricket_101

Too much power for one individual?

Sammy is the head coach, lead selector and head scout.

This ever happened before?

In reply to InHindsight

we have promising young openers that deserve to be looked at. Also talented wicket keeper batsman that proven to be test ready that’s be overlooked for favoritism. King and Hope aren’t test cricketers and Campbell is recycled garbage that has nothing to offer, but his mediocre average…

And to think nowhere in this lineup or "batting depth" was a place for Josh DaSilva, Kavem Hodge or Alick Athanaze.

cronyism at it’s best

West Indies cricket has regressed to its lowest… it’s difficult to comprehend how they have given him the power to solely manage selection…

Sammy is king

The board has appointed him king

The media buys into and spreads the myth

Sammy acts like he believes it

And there are some “fans” that act as if he is and can do no wrong.

Such is WI cricket life at the moment

If this wasn't the Rum Shop, I would think you were referring to Donald J Trump.
Lots of similarities in your post

That's why he can show such unprofessional displays of angst at players' he's reminding them their whole fate depends on a one man judge, jury and executioner.
