We reach bottom. Sammy/ Shallow and crew will have to figure out this mess.
this is not bottom

Is 27 but Sammy will drive this ship even lower

Maybe a 1 day test match if your guy asking his charges to bat 15overs…

This is not bottom; it’s Sammy’s Ultimate Revenge master plan

Fact: bowled out the might Aussies for spit.
Good on you Sammy! The bowlers have quickly bought into your vision and plan.
I’m sure you’ll eventually get thru to the batsmen too.

When you see the dismissals of the batters in this last Test match it is quite apparent not one of them can play swing bowling much less high class swing bowling at pace.

All of them had their feet stuck in the crease and playing with their hands, not waiting for the ball to swing and playing late, not batting at least a foot outside of the crease to negate as much swing as possible etc.

Surely a competent batting coach would have worked on all these things before and during this Test series knowing the type of bowlers in the Aussie side.

Unfortunately kind Sir we have nothing to work with. The performance of our bowlers was admirable. Sadly, we are trying to compete at the International level without one quality test batsman. This is certainly rock bottom and the talent pool for batsmen is non existent.

I admire your courage, but for the sake of your sanity you might have to give up on this hopeless lot. Looking at the teams you just listed, there is not one batsman who would come close to making a second eleven for any of the top test playing nations. The truth hurts but the fact remains we have no batting talent in the region to compete at the International level.

Saw this from a poster named Pablo Hernandez on Facebook:
Who do you want? Kaveem Hodge (average of 25), Kirk McKenzie (average of 16), Alick Athanaze (average of 25), Zachary McKasie (average 35 in regional cricket), Joshua DaSilva (lowest average in the world of all batsmen over the last Test cycle) or Tevin Imlach (average of 16)!

The problem has nothing to do with the coach or the selectors but the quality of batsmen at our disposal! All Sammy can do is to continue trying different players with the hope that we can find some capable batsmen that can stand up to quality bowling of a sustained period of time


Gets straight to the point. They want to blame one man for all West Indies failures in his first series as coach. It seems you went out there with the bat yourself or that you are the sole selector on the selection panel.

My advice to you Sammy is don't go anywhere. If they ask you to resign take them to the cleaners in the courts.

47 is only 20 more than 27. Nuff said. Get real.

Right on bro....its absolute bullshit an just clutching at straws to suggest that those on the OZ tour would have made a difference when they've DONE F**KALL subsequently check it out...its as if OZ is their mooks an they have the recipe fuh beating them lol!!!....almost certainly the wickets in OZ were BETTER than we've seen in this series an hence some of the averages of the batsmen might appear to be half decent....whose to say the likes of King,Chase ,Hope an Greaves would not have done even better in OZ!!...
