Somebody be dignified enough as the English would say to fall on their sword....I'm not saying a change of coach and or captaincy will necessarily improve results an bring an end to this prolonged humiliation but we live in an era of accountability an when this is happening under your watch when is enough enough....or is there no demarcation line whatsoever???

we live in an era of accountability


Not where WI cricket is concerned and not for people like VOR and his sidekick Edrich. Coley, as coach, was held accountable. Powell, as captain, was held accountable, Carty was held accountable (dropped) for reason(s) no one knows, but the Deficient One is allowed to stink and our cricket with him. We have had to endure almost 20 losses in a row inclusive of the most humiliating batting performance in the history of West Indies cricket and it's business as usual. Incompetence, insularity, and injustice are normative. Asking sammy to coach a team is akin to asking a circus clown to do an open heart surgery on you, it is destined for failure. We not only ask the clown to coach, we also ask the incompetent one to select the team.

This is in almost inevitably the worst summer of WI cricket in the history of WI cricket. I agree that someone should tender a resignation (fall on sword) but it should not only be Sammy. Hope, as captain, is clearly not making a difference and should also tender his resignation. Sammy's burden is too great being coach and selector for all the internationals. Some of that has to be shifted.
