Pooran is a terrible captain. He has the tactical acumen of an off stump. In the West Indies, he not alone in that regards…..Holder, Chase, Kraigg, Richardson, Chanderpaul and Sammy were also flat line in the tactics department, but a man has got to know his limitations. Clearly captaincy is not for you. Great t20 batsman, terrible skipper. I rate him though. Unlike Sammy and holder, he doh hide in bad times, he fights fire with fire and he takes his licks when it happens, he doh look for excuses

Josh should really be captaining the West Indies in a sane and sensible world( and a sure pick based on his performances in the last two fc tournaments) but the world isn’t sensible right now and WI cricket has rarely been a sensible place in the last 30 years
