Sammy please we cannot afford to carry him every match.

Passenger # 53 has become a freeloader, who needs to be offloaded.

There is a stat that was revealed by Carlos b that said that WI are # 1 in the world from 10-40 and 40-50 overs so imagine if we fix that opening slot and what kind of damage we can do with a foundation in the first 10 overs?

So has Carty.

Soaking up balls in the First PowerPla.

Carrying on that poor strike rate in the middle overs.

He was putting too much pressure on Hope.

Carty needs a rest

Keacy Carty averages 47.67 in 39 ODIS. His last ten innings:

45, 95, 6 , 102, 170, 22, 103, 29 , 30,18

He is one of the reasons why we have become more competitive in ODIS.

I expect better from you.

For those defenders of Carty,
I am speaking of present times.

His average, his performances earlier this year aside;
He looks terrible versus Paks.
Can't get the ball of the square,
putting Windies behind from jump.
He needs to be dropped for the 3rd game period.

Windies need a wake up call.
Time for Jangoo or Andrews.
We should not keep players on the bench while other look that bad.

Carty had 21 dot ball in his first 23 balls.
One of the singles was off a misfield.
He received full tosses, half volleys and short balls which he could not hit even for a single.
He needs to be rested.

No doubt the Pakis threw the game. I heard Scammy had to order several knee pads.

Jewel Andrew at the moment is poor against spin too.

I would take a gamble on Jangoo, he's someone who sweeps a lot. Might handle the spin better.

Throw him in the middle order and ask the skipper to open the batting.

What about the (unwritten) rule that says you should never change a winning team?

Unfortunately the unwritten rule that you should "Get rid of the Yardie freeloader before he derails the train", takes precedent.

You've surprised us again with the introduction/usage of the word "freeloader" in this context/argument.

King should be dropped because he is out of Form and he is Brandon (not Brendan as his duncy coach calls him) King. Sammy should be removed because of lack of qualifications and poor results nothing else. You are a very, very small creature, really shallow but in a vast vacuum of spite, malice and depraved heart mentality.

When was he ever in form? The Man averages 28 after 54 ODIS.!!!

because of lack of qualification


The Man has won championships, what more qualifications do you need? You big dunce!

You are a very, very small creature, really shallow but in a vast vacuum of spite, malice and depraved heart mentality.


Coming from you I consider that a compliment.

at least he is better than your boy Devon smith . 23 in tests and 24 in ODI, yet you always wanted him to be persisted with. I guess King isn't a dot so he shouldn't be persisted with.

54-24= 30. King has played 30 more ODIS with a sub 50 average and not one Yardie has called for his head!!!

At least Devon dominated at Dungheap, not even that King can dominate!

Time to cut him loose Sammy!

according to Cricinfo, Devon the shell shield bully played 47 ODI. average 24. so King has only played 7 more odi. not sure how you are calculating the 30

I thought you might be mixing him up with the other great Kirean Powell. But Powell played 46 ODI and averaged 22.8

At least Devon dominated at Dungheap, not even that King can dominate!


i agree. you are correct. Devon dominated regionals. got 43 tests. Nikita Miller dominated regionals.

If Sammy was a Yaadie you would not be so supportive, so give it a rest. Leave Sammy to make his decisions, or you second guessing your bouy!

In reply to natty_forever I have a right to question his fixation on King who has never showed the propensity for consistency. Yes he can play one or two pretty shots but he flatters to deceive. He lacks the mental fortitude to bat long innings and Sammy needs to cut him loose now as he has given him more than enough opportunity to make a big play.


Now for the Test team he may well continue with him as he just started but he needs a rest from the ODI team as he is holding us back.

King deserves to be dropped if he is not pulling his weight!!

Without a Marlon Samuels in the team, West Indies can no longer afford to play 10 versus 11 like when Sammy used to just go out to spin the toss and just clap for the rest of the game!!
