Fired !

"The direction given to me is not dictated by any Man"


memo : Sammy you got your start as a Scab repacement :-[

The man won two T20 world cups and gets a drop immediately before a T20 series.

The WICB has no sense of timing.

They should have wait until Zouks CPL campaign was over !

methink it showed in his elimination Loss last night .

Sammy had no reason to openly be Critical after WorldTwenty triumph !!

It was in poor taste.

This is his medicine.

WT20 winning captain Darren Sammy hasn't warranted selection in the T20 squad according to the WI selectors. The laughter is killing me.

This Chairman has a habit to call players before announcing the team and get blasted on FB

Ramdin, Sammy

when will he call Samuels

so who get the call for capt.

No need !!! they are neighbors in Kingston, Jamaica.

Meet and reason Iyah, at Gayle's Sports Bar

I thought Sammy was a very good on field captain. However, I was surprised by just how bad his T20I numbers have been over the last 2 years:

51 runs with the bat in 8 innings with a high score of 20*. His average (10.20) and strike-rate (123.39) are both far below his career averages.

With the ball, he bowled in just 6 of the 12 matches he played for a total of 10 overs. In these 10 overs, he took just 1 wicket and conceded 108 runs. His bowling average (108) and economy rate (10.80) were both way above his career averages.

Sammy's average differential is a stronking -97.79. The only player with worse average differential is Nepal's Paras Khadka at -104.14.

I liken him to a modern day Mike Brearley. Not deserving of his place in the side based on numbers alone, but a terrific captain that makes a real difference in the overall teams performance. That does add value that doesn't show up in the numbers.

Edited to add: Of course, we all know the real reason why Sammy was actually sacked. He was also far more deserving than a 30 second phone call. I do feel bad for him as he genuinely seems to love the game of cricket. Always has a lot of passion. The day before his first match for Hampshire he went to a local school to have a meet and greet and give advice.

As Trini said above, one thing the WICB can never take away from him is his two World Twenty20 victories. The only captain to achieve such a feat.

Brother Sammy was treated badly by the board.  This current board administration does not seem to like people from the small islands.  Sammy led West Indian to glory by winning 2 world cups!  Why was he treated so badly?
