If the 27 all-out wasn't Sammy's fault because " he was not the one batting and fielding" then, to be consistent, neither should he be credited with this victory for the same reason!! ����

We can't have it both ways!

That little word “ If” makes all the difference.

We all know he can never escape the Mantle.

27 all out he had to eat it…as he should…

So this historic win…same knife …sticks.

HA ha. I cannot help but smile broadly when it comes to you guys and Sammy.

I honestly do not understand the disdain for the man.

When Samuels ran out BCL before my very eyes…I knew that some would take years to forgive that.

Shiv doing the same to many others became comical however… see no consistency.

Sammy..

Always the over achieving under achiever turned on Dave Cameron for the world to see and used it to Win the WC 2016.

He gets no credit for that…

He debuted with a 7 fer…. Still no love.

Tell me what he did so I could understandbig grin

Berzerk has finally lost it...All starting to add up... Self-checked himself into an mental health clinic... There he met the Head Dr named Faloony, who diagnosed him with insamnity... He later found out that Dr. Faloony was not even a real doctor but a patient himself...More to come...

I have the same opinion about Sammy as you, give him his flowers and his 15 mins, he was not the most talented guy, but he was captain when WI won 2 WC.

The players are all very inconsistent at best, stop wasting your energy.


Lara, Ambrose, Walsh, Chanderpaul all great players and how many World ups did they win??? Leadership matters: I sure your boy Lara wish he had a Sammy.

We have never mentioned the coach during Sammy's run as captain, so should we now?

When de team loses I don't feel like talking bout it. Simple. Regardless of who the coach or players are. I lookin fuh positives.

No sense in continuous griping after 30 years of futility, interspersed with some Sammy LEEDASHIP inspired brilliance. big grinbig grin

Back to the backroom. big grin

Vroooooooom. Gaaaan again.

Always the over achieving under achiever turned on Dave Cameron for the world to see and used it to Win the WC 2016.

OVER ACHIEVED?

How did he over-achieve?

Sammy was always a marginal player with the abysmal career averages to prove it. The teams he led to 2 T20 World Cups was so loaded with talent that it could afford to play 10 versus 11, with Sammy at the helm to only spin the toss and clap!

He was shoe-horned into the team, that he could not otherwise make on merit, while more deserving players were left out to accommodate yes-man Sammy who willing carried out CWI vindictive agenda. Now history has repeated itself with him being given the coaching mantle, for which he was unqualified, while others with better credentials. were overlooked


But I digress. I will give him some credit because The Golden Child did,however, earn my grudging respect when he called out the arrogant Dave Cameron. I only wish he had also had the balls and had found his voice when the equally arrogant Ernest Hillaire was running roughshod over West Indies cricket.

By the way, lest we forget, that same Dave Cameron was also in the vicinity - and the common denominator-when West Indies won those World Cup titles being credited to Sammy but also the Women's World Cup title as well as the U19 World Cup title
