has proven to be pure folly. Under Coley the test team was showing improvement. We have taken 3 steps back under Sammy. Chase was clinging to his test spot and is now the captain. As a team, we have one 50 in the last 4 test matches. Let that sink in.

Scammy was and is an opportunist. He saw an opening to take credit for what Coley built but, it backfired disastrously for him and the H& H regime.

After 4 Matches vs two of the best teams in the World it is not only unreasonable, disingenuous but reeked with bias.
Coley lost to Bangladesh and South Africa at home, lost 0-3 to England away for an overall 3 wins, 2 Draws and 8 losses. Yes bring back the Savior.

dude have an ounce of shame......we played australia last year in australia and they were still the#1 ranked team.......and like this year, their batsmen struggled....is only your duncy-head idol picked his friends promising fearless cricket and couldn't even chase the moderate totals the aussies set us this year....none of those totals were exorbitant

Sammy is the central figure in all those losses, as head coach, he cannot hide behind his hired coaches.

Nor can he hide any longer behind the talent of a Marlon Samuel , or ride the coattails of real cricketers like Gayle, Sarwan, Bravo et al who were provided the spine to West Indies cricket with their performance. The only department in which Sammy led the team was in clapping!

dude those guys were in the IPL long before sammy. gayle was in the ipl since 2008, pollard became the first WI player to book a 1 million dollar bid in the 2010 ipl bid on the back of DARREN GANGA'S trinidad red force champions league success, which was the script bird brain was using as recently as last year in the world cup

At least Richie was a bona fide, credible and respected cricketer, with a record of achievement and tangible performance, before a dip in form. No one questioned Richie's right to be in the teamhen he was made captain. As captain, he made a tangible contribution to the fortune of the team,. Its inconceivable that Richie would have scored a total of 8 runs and taken just 1 wicket for the duration of a tournament. Prior to the asvent of the Golden Child West Indies captains were expected to do do more v than just going out to spin the toss and clap for the rest of the game!
