was wondering would any other head coach in a similar situation call out a player as blatantly as the egomaniac....of course we know he's not the most articulate but his choice of words in reference to Alzarri missing the 1st test against Pakistan can only cause disharmony in the camp...now I'm not Alzarri's biggest chairleader but does being unavailable for "personal reasons " equate to "declining selection"???

@CCW

The best man manager.....the list is ever increasing...

Pooran

Lewis

Holder

Alzarri

Dummy is not only uncertified, ineligible coach but has failed to build a team in his three years of White ball coach as well as one years red ball coach....

It's time to kick out the pretender...his Dataman,his Reifer,his Griffith et al

@CCW

You should have gone to school, to improve your vocabulary.

@Onionman0

He just dnt know when to keep he mouth shut.....lacking intelligence or flat out ignorant or even worse a combination of both!!

@Onionman0

Look at you calling the Man dummy and talking about Man- management and diplomacy? Is Sammy the first coach to lose players to the Franchise leagues. Oh btw Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph still play for West Indies, Lewis is laughable as he is always injured. A matter of fact Alzarri has a contract with CWI so who is the dummy now? Pooran made his choice so enough about that overrated dude.

@CCW

The man is straightforward and sometimes one can appreciate that. However agreed at times he needs to watch what he says about players in the public forum. This should have been kept in house. Personal reasons and done.

However it is amazing how things change. One minute you cussing Aljo needs to go and now you vex he gone.

@voiceofreason

This man was selected....no certificate...no experience at international level....no eligibility....He is the best man manager....after three 3 years .. failure to qualify in 2023.....we are eligible to play qualification for 2027 World Cup.....He is the Head Coach...He is the sole selector....non of his predecessor had this power...now players are retiring or refusing...

He failed as Head Coach..He failed as selector...He failed as man manager...

Dummy.....we need real Head Coach...Real Selector..Real Man manager..

@voiceofreason

Aljo justifiably gotta get cuss at times ....stop muddying the water ..you was doing ok until the last nonsense paragraph!!

@voiceofreason

Did he not decline selection.

the-personal , reason is an afterthought,

long after the the interview was conducted.

@Edrich

These dudes will jump at every opportunity to blambast Sammy.

If you have to go tit for tat you'd disparage their equivalents

I don't enjoy doing so

@Onionman0

Yet you conveniently forgot:

1st test series win vs SrI Lanka in 23 years.

9 test centuries in this yet to be completed test cycle compared to 2 in the last.

5 x 400 + totals.

Test cricket is highest form of cricket and we are on the up on that. ODI nothing to be concerned about unless we do not qualify. So much for the non-paper coach.

@Edrich

Yes he declined selection for personal reasons. Sammy had no right to say anything about contracted players declining selection as he admitted that this was not his level anyways.

@voiceofreason

Your unwavering support for non existing head coach cum selector cum man manager......shows your love for west Indies cricket...

2023-9th in ODI rankings

2026-10th in ODI rankings

Last test cycle 8th

This cycle 8th...

As for records...

Coley won test in Pakistan after 35 years..won test in Australia after 27 years..

As man manager Dummy has extra stick to wield...Sole selector..

All coaches were working with teams provided to them...

But Dummy...picks and choose according to his wimps ...

Time for him to sail his boat to Neverland..

@Onionman0

Coley won test in Pakistan after 35 years..won test in Australia after 27 years..

Same as winning a series?

Coley led team also drew 1-1 with Bangladesh at home where have always beaten them. Lost right there in his backyard Sabina.

Paper coach vs non-paper coach.

Hope to see you after we beat Pakistan and rise to # 6.

@voiceofreason

You seldom talk about 3 years white ball disaster....we qualify for qualification to play Oman, UAE...best man manager..players retiring...refusing..

As for test..

Beating Australia in Australia...made entire Caribbean... joyous..ex-players openly cried....but then..beating second grade test side Sri Lanka at home..more credible.....

As for wimps as selector..

Dropped Roach and Jangoo after Pakistan victory,where he played important role

Both played important role in victory vs Sri Lanka

Dropped Jangoo or Hety best players of spin...

Play Warrican instead pacer vs Australia... with Warrican not bowling a single ball..

Dumb Dummy...
