Sammy is meek??? If so meek to who? Stop the projectuon

I am going to say the things that most objective cricketing minds are thinking, but are aftaid to say. Twenty years ago Gus Logie, then coach of the West Indies team said: "insularity is killing West Indies cricket." If one was to examine the factuality of that statement twenty years ago, or even at this very moment, Logie's statement is frozen in time.

There always has been, and always will be sporadic displays of brilliance from the tribe of Benjamine. If you know, you know, they are the decendants of a regal bloodline blessed by the creator. I could elaborate on that a bit more, but most are not enlightened enough to comprehend it. However, I will say the 400 hundred years have passed in 2019 marked by an event no concious mind will ever forget.

West Indies cricket is the place where talent goes to die, why is that? The answer is simplier than you think, yet more profound than you want to admit. Bob Marley said it in a song, we parade about our business as free individuals, while the most important aspect of freedom is still enslaved, the mind.

It was obvious when the Leward Islands were given control of the management structure and Hilary set about dismissing the stars to build a star team. The Bible said every dispute known to mandkind stems from pride. Pride is the reason every great empire has crumbled, with the rut starting from the inside. How dare mercenaries like Gayle and company tell an educated professor how the business of cricket should be run?

In Russia they call it a useful idiot, I say there is a thin line between education and insanity. Sammy benefitted from a team that was on the incline from the perseverance of Gayle and company. Hilary lacked the managerial skills that would have bridge the distance between star power egos, team benefit and propulsion. Peel back a few layers of the premier sporting event happening now.

It is not just coaching, magerial staff, and players that should be in focus. Every aspect of the game requires introspection. There are some commentators that have a birdseye view to the players. They too have a responsibility to the setup. No one is asking to be as bias as England, Australia, or New Zealand commontators. Ganger and company have plenty to say, they must have the perception of being impartial. While Bishop most respected with statue, presence, reputation, almost an embarrasment to be polically correct. He hasn't noticed, no one else cares.

When Hope announced himself in England's trying conditions, he did so with back to back centuries. He has talant, technigue and flare, but the pressure of the different formats got to his concentration and he fell away, in the longer format. What was the end result? Abandonent, as per usual, and that can be attributed to so many players.

In case you are wondering, I am from the Leward Islands, and I don't believe Sammy should have the responsibility he has. Stop for a minute to ascertain if, the players who are sometimes deserving of blame, are doing well in spite of the management, or lack of. I do not believe captancy should guarantee Chase a place in the team. However his last two performances were noteworthy, but cannot be his cornerstone.

The two centrurions of the last test, should form the nucleus of the team. I say that not because of the totality of their runs, but rather the aplication and determination. Not to mention the fact that they advanced the game by scoring and ehausting the fielding side.

I can say unequivocally the West Indies team has the potential to be at the top of all charts, but getting there will require astute planning, and difficult decissions free of mental incarceration. It is said that all men are created equally, that is a lie, which I can debunk with one word, melanin. If you know, you know but, we are electrical beings and you are not hated without reason.

Can you tell me who the professor is ?

Is this the one that claimed he knew nothing about cricket?

Your diatribe is just a word salad..useless
