Sammy has earned himself an extended run.

We came within 4 balls of a WC semi-final. The team has great chemistry and with one or two changes we could rise to top ranking and win the next WC. Sammy has made all the right rotations this WC to get us to 5-2 our best performance in 10 years. Need to find more wicket-taking options.


Next step is qualification for the ODI WC and getting the Test team some wins to rise up the WTC. Will Sammy rope in Hetmeyer for ODIS and Tests? That would be another big move by the Samster!

Get Sammy the spoon outa dere...he got no brain.

The game needs persons who can analyze and recat to changing circumstances.

Sammy has been comdemned by me because of his approach to the powerplay today and lack of understanding of our needs during his stint as coach.

I don't view this world cup results as progress.

The team was 4 balls away from a semi-final berth. I consider that an overwhelming success.

Believe what you may. Sammy is here to stay.

First thing on the agenda strip him of the the Test and ODI coaching job.


My my words, His contract ends this month and he will not retain these two jobs, CWI needs to be forward looking not stuck with an analog coach.

@Courtesy

His term will be extended. We are not changing course in the middle of WC qualification and a WTC.


The man has singlehandedly convinced players to come back to play Test and if it is true Hety will soon join the ODI and Test teams even better.


Tough luck Bro.

Sammy can remain as the Coach for the T20's.


He has no business being the head Coach for Test cricket.

@Trex

You again?


If Sammy manages to get Hetmeyer in the test team that will be a game-changer.

Hettie would win that match for us had he not been tiffed out
