He comes across as a nice guy, a good captain, and is honest in defeat.

Agreed he is a good Skipper. The losses were piling up, probably there was a shift in the dynamics in the dressing room. Time to move on as he has accepted his role as still a leader, just without the title.

Too much fuss about titular positions. You can be a leader without the title.

Vor is very, very disingenuous! If someone was tobe brought in now to take over as head coach and Sammy be kept as consultant he'd be saying the exact opposite to the above. He'd be bawling for the then "Non--Titular Dethroned Head"

Browne has to be in the conversation as the top skipper with Bim.

alltime top Bajan skipper is Holford...then Bessie/Padmore....then we get to Browne.

Brooks and Stoute were the best of this era. Mayers/Reifer I suspect are better captains than Hope and Holder and Brathwaite. Chase should be automatic Bajan skipper nowadays as he beats up the regional level with bat and ball.

History will show allrounders make some of the best captains iro Barbados.

Suggest it will be batting all rounders instead of bowling all rounders?

I presume Macco would have been an excellent captain… who were the skippers he influenced during his tenure as coach? Lara, Chanders, SirCarl?

Captain Rovman and his PINK uniformed Barbados Royals franchise remain at the bottom of the 2025 CPL points table for a total of zero win(s) and a single point (for I don't know what).

Dottie Edrich must be beside himself in glee.

However, I think the Royals' current situation has more to do with their PINK outfits than any other factor.

Replacement of pink girly kit plus wearers Powell, Brandon, QDK, Rutherford etc is overdue. Also remove substandard Bajan lickit rookies. Make 2025 the last for penny, estwick crew. Mecca fans should demand high quality players from BR owners or tell dem KYS to Bermuda, Bahamas or Belize lol

Yuh forgetting Hillary.

Ok, we'll give that one a pass, but only because the famous Dr Hillary made it to great heights, thereby mitigating any stigma that might have been attached.
