As a cricket fan, I HATED the way Sammy was installed as WICB puppet Captain .. >
he is NOT your " Good Lad "...
he is anti players union and an underminer of his Team mates at his masters bidding !
Tantamount to a house Slave ...

As a cricket fan, I did not like the way Sammy was unceremoniously ousted from captaincy of the W.I. His dismissal was not without having had a run of failures, personally and otherwise for almost 4 year. He was formally approached by the selectors so what is unceremonious about it?
But we also know that historically, the WICBC does not operate with dignity when it comes to respect of the players. This is true when we talk about the likes of Haynes, Greenidge and a few other greats so this does not apply to a journeyman like Sammy. He snubbed the WIPA on the lead from H&H and even now they shamelessly thank him but it is the diplomatic thing to do.
But also, captaincy is not a birthright, and Sammy should not have retired if he felt hard-done by the decision of the WICBC not to retain his service as captain...Too right it is not a birthright so why a man who after 8 mediocre test performances and never again going to be selected was placed as captain and had that role for almost 4 years during which he has failed miserably on all counts, (batsman, bowler and captain), and the team has regressed?
Sammy is not the best player on the team, but I think he's a "Good Lad" for the game...on and off the field. Good lad for the game? What on earth do you mean? He seems nice enough but that is no qualification for test captaincy or in his case, captaining in all formats for almost 4 years! He is probably the worst player to have played test cricket formate Windies over such an extended period. Let us see if Ramdin is given a 4 year run!
Surely you are making your comments on an emotional level and not a logical cricketing level?
I just hope he is now relegated just to T20s with no room for him in ODIs!

fuh the fus' time in a month I agree with Kabaka ketchim...
Sammy is a black man and support my own. so I will not shoot Sammy in the mawnin ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::
but we living in the west indies and if we are to progress we have to build a proper way of doing tings that is based on merit. we cant have things like Sammys appointment. out of the blasted question. and the amount of unbalanced teams sammy led
Sammy was an all round bad choice for west indies cricket. he shud never have been captain at all.
he never supported the players so why is wipa pandering to Sammy now, when he has had his comeuppance...when he used to diss the wipa...and he has no more power ::confused::
that is a ridiculous development..suggesting that wipa is now a Thomist organization itself. that however is precisely what I anticipated once Wavel Hinds took over > > >
