Jump down Sammy throat now

Jump down Sammy throat now

any chance you get, seems to be the mantra of many on this board. In the meantime, the team is getting better results as Sammy's ideologies start to resonate within the team. It takes a strong personality to steady a flailing ship and that person will clash with other strong personalities. Some rather the ship to be sinking than to see it get back to her northern course. Sammy if you have to throw some overboard, so be it. You doing well, don't worry about Joseph. You is the one that will help him reach his full potential if he ever was to do that. You know what you're doing.

We not throwing any overboard.

We have to move away from parochialism and tribalism that has plagued WI cricket

There's Trumpism and then there's Sammyism. The team wasn't getting better results vs good teams in tougher conditions l, no Sah; not at all.

AlJo could have been and perhaps could be an effective bowler and can bat for a bowler but he is sweet, sweet, sweet and seems unable to grow his performances

I don’t care much for his attitude. Cricket is a team sport and even as an individual a player must have a working relationship with his teammates and to a certain extent the coaches etc

I was at the ODI v Eng in Bim when he walked off the field, for what, only he knows. Cos the cappo and the other players did not.

we make a lot of excuses for big men behaving badly

with regard to Sammy, I lost any reason to support Sammy when he seemingly ordered the batsmen to poke for a draw against NZ in NZ recently. It made no sense whatsoever and WI lost that match in retreat not from playing how they normally would.

It's just par for the course when a small ship is traveling through rough waters. Especially when there is only room for 11 on the seating deck. So Kraigg had to go overboard. There will be more.

Joseph is a great talent, that needs some help, managing his attitude towards authority, and process.

Social media is usually a contributing, factor.

tomorrow, the likes and comments, will be directed at the one in the mirror. celebrating their failure/downfall.

CWI, should work diligently, and hurriedly, towards an amicable resolution.

wI cricket needs, them, to continue, on its positive trend.

No one owns WI cricket, just as much as there is not a divine privilege for our cricketers to come from selected regional territories. The days for this backwardness are done.

That is exactly how it was done in the days of yore ... you need more history lessons

@Kay

It seems to me that you are confusing two separate things. I will be presently surprised if you know more history than me; and if you are more mentally liberated than me.

@InHindsight

I don't know what you carrying on about. The West Indies selection policy is as fair as any in the world in the last decade. No one owns West Indies cricket but some has delegated authority.
