Well, most great coaches weren't great at the sport they did, most were role players. We can argue if he fits the mould.


Merely stating what I heard about why Coley was replaced by Sammy. Persons stated that they preferred a Coach who had experience playing at the highest level.

So apparently Sammy's cricketing experience as a player has influenced his rise to the Head Coach for all formats of West Indies Cricket.


In my opinion his experience at the highest level was mediocre....esp in Test Cricket.

[b][code]Why do we give so much responsibility to someone who was never a Test Great?

I agree with your statement 100%, however we have to acknowledge that he was captain of the team that won 2 WC

I can see no other reason, should have been first on the team sheet against Oz as he has been out best batsman against pace for quite a few years .
