Come on, Pondie, this is not the time.
You are better than what was posted above. 😎
@sgtdjones
times have changed the gloves are off
Coach was getting ready to give a big interview but Sampson had plans
Coach and selector and President all need to go pronto
@ponderiver
He was not a good note taker since we lost. A waste of a pick. Him and Scammy.
@buds
He wasnt there for his cricket even Sammy alluded to it by not picking him once
Putting Chase up to open was a desperate ploy by an inept coach
I am actually pleased that Chase made some runs so Sammy had to look for another scapegoat
the irony of all of this was ,we lost because we were not good enough in big moments and it was all down to the coach.
Had we won he would have taken the credit therefore he has to hug up this loss buh bye 27
Why was Johnson Charles taken to the WC?
That was a dunce selection. Better they had taken just about anyone.

I understand the frustration with how West Indies cricket is being run. Many of us have watched the same pattern repeat itself for years: big talk, short-term fixes, and then disappointment when the results don’t match the promises.
Still, it may be worth waiting to see what CWI decides to do next. The real issue is whether they will treat this World Cup as "progress" or whether they will honestly accept it as part of a longer decline that has stretched across decades. While so-called minnow teams have made genuine strides, CWI too often feels stuck, drifting without urgency, direction, or accountability.
Leadership is a major concern. The CWI vice-president led the T&TCB for roughly two decades, and his silence now is noticeable. With repeated allegations of financial mismanagement having been reported publicly, it’s difficult to understand how confidence is supposed to grow when the same figures remain in place and the public gets so few clear answers. If things look grim today, people should examine the record of player development under those administrations before assuming more of the same will bring change.
What’s equally troubling is the absence of any obvious regional figure with the vision and credibility to lift this organization out of the doldrums. Even the marketing of the team has been mishandled, an area that should build pride, identity, and support regardless of the scoreboard. Once upon a time, the Caribbean produced cricketing greats the entire world admired: exciting, fearless, calypso cricket with real flair. Today, that tradition feels neglected, and it’s hard to see who is being prepared to carry the mantle.
The CWI president noted, "The coach is from a small island; instead, he doesn't have the pedigree or coaching qualifications that were advertised for the job!"
The talk about CARICOM also needs perspective. It’s fair to ask what meaningful leadership or intervention has actually been offered over the last decade and whether the individuals at the helm have shown the kind of strategic capability this moment demands.
And when it comes to coaching and selection, CWI can’t have it both ways. If the organization publicly set specific requirements for the role, then the appointment process must reflect those standards. Otherwise, fans are left to wonder how better results can be expected from a system that doesn’t consistently follow its own criteria.
Watching the young Indian players dominate was painful, but it was also instructive. Their greats have moved on, yet the next wave already looks ready to step in. In the Caribbean, we’re left hoping for a similar pipeline while too often reliving the glory days instead of building the future.
West Indies cricket deserves better than nostalgia. It deserves serious governance, a clear strategy, and leadership that can be trusted to rebuild, on and off the field.
Then again, such has been noted for decades.

@sgtdjones
everything you say is true and it is clear you have West Indies cricket at heart.
Unfortunately we have a dearth of leadership at administrative level and it is going to get worse.
Cricket is being marketed through the lens ,of making a certain demographics comfortable.
I am embarrased and angry at how disingenuous the current administration are.
They would rather lose with Sammy, than make any meaningful attempt to address our failures.
What happen to the call for intervention from our greats after the debacle of 27 all out?
How can we let a talent as great as Pooran walk away from our cricket!!!??
I have spent thousands supporting our cricket travelled all over to support us.
Supported player development by bringing cricketers over from the caribbean at my expense to play here so they could gain experience.
In this regard I dont think I am unique however the message coming out of our region is ,it is we time now, excaerbated by the shameless imposition of the talentless Sammy as the God of our cricket , yes we like it so
It stinks to high heaven.
I will not be supporting this rancid sore of an administration as they continue to devalue our cricket.
Here we go again! The name calling and finger pointing shows an individual bereft of anything substantive to say.
The West Indies team went 5-0 and these same people stayed quiet, waiting for a day to pounce. Lol. So predictable that it is no longer funny. An act of cowardice.
5-2 and 4 balls away from a Semi-final with a team that many said would be out by the first round. Australia and Sri Lanka suffered early exits and embarassing defeats to Zimbabwe while West Indies blew away Zimbabwe. Where were these Cowards!
Yellow belly!
@ponderiver
Yes the same Zimbabwe that blew away Australia and Sri Lanka. I wonder where you would be if we had made the semis!
Where was ponderiver when West Indies went 5-0?
