Dude if you attach sammy when he fails, you have to give him credit when he succeeds. That simple

Not that simple actually....so overall record doesn't count??....for eg if yuh win 1out 10 yuh should be given credit fuh the win huh??..when it's a statistical certainty that yuh will win 1 at some point...so fuh me i give Sammy zero credit!!

He’s played one series, lost that

To build some sort of a statistical conclusion, he needs to play a few more, right?

In white ball cricket? He’s been decent? Especially given how deplorable we generally have been in the last decade

He was rightfully criticised after that shambokic showing against australia, but has shown some ability to be able to come back. Need a bigger sample size to see how he fares

For now, he gets credit for the series win, just the way he got flack for the earlier losses

That 47 all out lineup had two batsmen averaging over 50 and two averaging over 40. The score reflects more on the bowling of the English, specifically Harmison and hoggard than the wi batting

Does 2 wins out of the last 11 games merit a biggup?? ...you've narrowed it down to the ODI's... I'm judging overall which includes the most horrendous an humiliating never to be forgotten performance in the history of a once proud cricket nation...an as the English would seh yuh bai should have fallen on his sword!!......so from here on in there has to be an upward curve in all formats before we can call off the dogs!!!

Should've Coley gotten credit for the away wins vs Oz, Pak, especially doing so without as large a support team as Sammy? If so should that credit/success be rewarded with a firing? What a worl'?
