It’s all about Sammy’s ego

The team he has selected for this T20 World Cup is more about him than anything else.

If Samson and Charles perform in any sort of capacity, peeps around the region will hail him as a genius.

If they lose, well….it was expected.

He really has nothing to lose and plenty to gain, reputation wise, if those 2 in particular perform even halfway decently.

He gives out a debut practically every match WI plays regardless of format.

His coaching style is essentially to throw stuff at the wall, any stuff no matter what quality or lack thereof it is, and see if anything sticks.

In reality, he’s no more than a con man.

Has always been. Snoop recently pointed something out to me. During the WC, every time we won, he’d hog the spotlight, when we lost, it was God’s plan.
