Jest asking for a frend.

After this debacle clean house:
Chase gone
Campbell gone
Hope gone
Louis gone
Anderson not ready
Warrican (one hit wonder)

I would keep Greaves, Shamar (if he does not go to jail), Alzarri, Seales and King and add

Kavem Hodge
Athanaze
And any body else other than the first six mentioned above.

What about Jangroo? Isn't he worth a recall after these "recalls" looked out of place. He had a good series but a mediocre first class season and he got dropped. Which of the last set of matches he was dropped has the replacements looked better than Amir?
CWI needs to stop this racist model.
Viv still waiting for the 11"black panthers' to emerge .You all know these lazy and inept shytes not going to be anywhere near a panther.
It is disgusting to see the bowling under an indian taking shape and looking like serious match winners but the batting under a "nobody" Reifer is still looking for a blueprint. Shame on CWI for allowing these imposters to be employed with false resumes.
i am not racist. But look at this same bowling attack under Ravi to when they were under a nobody on any WI team.
Maybe we need to take a loook at ourselves in the mirror and ask if ARE WE SERIOUS ABOUT THE CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIPS.

problem started when they announced two months before pakistan series that coley was going to be fired. the same dude who was coach when the team won in australia and pakistan

jangoo wasn't the only one dropped though and making it about race is myopic, even though i suspect that may have played a factor. the entire batting lineup was moved to make way for the white ball players. i said before that in red ball cricket, you don't have fielding restrictions. odi cricket is totally different from the odi game of the early 90s which were essentially 50 over tests. chase and hope average less than 25 for a reason in the red ball game.

Of course Sammy will stay on.

This is his first test series and it could hardly have been a more difficult assignment.

Doesn’t get easier in his next series in India either.

There should be major questions and scrutiny on Floyd Reifer though. I don’t see a way for him keeping his job……..unless it’s for non cricketing reasons.

Sammy has to go, his thinking is totally illogical. Based his idea of how the team should progress on Bazball.
England at the time were world odi champions but we're struggling in tests.
So, using the players they had, they understood that they could transfer their skills and it has worked to a degree.however it was based on having a great odi team, we are bottom of the rankings in odi so how on earth did he think it was going to work.
Clueless

Not Sammy's fault with the poor performance of the WI players, Starc was really exceptional today, swing bowling has really improved over the years especially when it is coming at 90 MPH. Sammy big challenge is moving ahead. On reflection, Anderson should not have been selected for this series, the cricket was too advance,

Don't agree that it could not have been any tougher, This is probably the weakest batting line up they have had in decades,
We drew the last series in Oz ( with Seales out injured) so having them at home was a huge opportunity.
But no, he dropped all the batsmen that achieved the draw and you see the result.
Unforgivable.

If Sammy and Reifer have any self respect, they should resign
