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.

@ponderiver

He not going anywhere. Comes cheap.

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.
