What positives has 27 achieved as WI coach?

Fri, Oct 3, '25 at 1:30 PM
I’ve been very critical of 27 since his appointment and outlined many of what I think are his shortcomings.

So……..to be fair……….what positives has he achieved since being appointed white ball coach? Not just all format coach.

So any positives at all…..Coach of white ball & /or all format

One of the first repeated by his supporters is that he took the t20 team’s ranking from 8 to 3.

We’re currently # 6 but 8 to 3 is definitely a positive.


While we’re currently #9 in ODI rankings, CWI’s director of cricket highlighted that the ODI team has a HOME record of 10 wins and 5 losses under 27’s tenure to date. Definitely a positive.

He’s just started as test coach so we’ll treat that as “not eligible” for now.

That said, the test seam bowling has been a definite positive. Unfortunate that 2 of the seam bowling attack are unavailable for the India series.

Shai Hope’s consistency in ODI’s, despite a slight drop off recently, is also a positive.

That’s what I have.

I’m sure there’s more. Feel free to add.

He has successfully enhanced the coffers of many a medical doctor who has to treat Sammys haters for High Blood Pressure and ruptured Conniptions.

totally destroying what was left of WI cricket, which wasn't much to be honest. but at least history will record him as the executioner regardless of what the dotties and bajans-for-hire(who only care about their rubbish players getting picked)say. A global institution brought down by ignorance, immodesty and selfishness

From my sources... this confidential info and I might get into trouble for releasing it but I am willing to take the chance just for you guys..

So here are the main achievements by 27... heard the big ones at CWI are very pleased.

1. Claps per mins increases from 200 to 500 since 27 took over.
2. Avg. time a batsman spend at the crease reduced by 50%. This is considered a big saving by CWI. At least 3 day savings from each test match.
3. Intangibles - every player that is in the squad these days bring with them an intangible. Big big improvement from the previous squads under the other useless coaches. CWI is big on things that you cannot see.

There's more... buh my legal team said that I can't release those.
