Who is this "we". Viv Richards and Richie Richardson were WI Skippers. Was there a problem? Sammy was an undeserving WI Captain, was there a big outcry about that?
This is absolutely insularity and a red herring by Shallow.
Shallow as President and Sammy as sole selector have unceremoniously bad played the Dominician players. Did Sammy drop them because they were from small island Dominica?Answer me.

When the Bajans can fix this they can complain about Shallow and Sammy:

USA 1 305-8 (50 overs)

Barbados 89 all out (25.5 overs)

I agree with you partially as I remembered the yardies and the Tits throwing vile remarks and degrading names to Sammy and Otis.

Many notable posters were scary to admonish the group that hurled such remarks, As I said to my friends last week Sammy is not the most talented cricketer, but let give him a day of glory and move on. As captain he won 2 WC .

When de Tits can fix this they can complain about Shallow and Sammy.

(Trinidad Guardian) Trinidad and Tobago is now under a State of Emergency, following a proclamation by President Christine Carla Kangaloo in response to a “widespread and coordinated national security threat.”
In a statement issued yesterday, the President said she was satisfied that a public emergency had arisen, citing recent developments “of such a nature and on so extensive a scale, as to be likely to endanger public safety.” The State of Emergency took immediate effect nationwide.



The move came after a formal recommendation from Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro, based on intelligence pointing to the existence of a sophisticated criminal network operating from inside the prison system

Don't you agree insularity exist? It's clear. However, as president, you can't say that publicly.

Whether insularity exists or not, it is rather foolish to say the criticisms of Sammy is because he is from a small island when there are valid reasons that exist for that critique. It's like saying because racism exists, a white man cannot criticize a black man when that black man is doing crap. Had the WI beaten Australia Shallow and many WI fans would be singing Sammy praises. They would say he was responsible for the success and credit given for his overhaul of the entire batting line up. Now that the series went bad, should be not also be held responsible?

He was right to say it as its the truth!! Check them right here on this board.

Guess what even his Windward Islanders have it out for him for the non-selection of the 20 somethings Athanaze and Hodge. Nonsense!

Don't you think having a DOC and a coach-only selector, someone who knew Barbados was the host of a final and told the world that the final was not decided.
I have no problem with Sammy coaching the T20 squad, by allowing him to be the coach of the other two formats and the only selector is troubling.
The DOC was given the job purely because he is from the Windwards. What experience has he brought to the job?
Even if the guy was DOC in the Windwards, what role has he contributed in that area to improve cricket in the Windwards?
