man wat yuh talking about ::confused::

Sammy regardless of if he is the best or not competently led west indies to 2 world championships. 

on that basis and on the fact that there is clearly no one better than he is in the west indies least of all Carlos...there was and is no good reason to remove him from the captaincy of the T20 team.

dat is the point.  dropping Sammy at this point does not serve west indian interest. 

dat is the question you shud be asking yuhself...or yuh still  in love with big, well fed and smooth skin Carlos, ah Bajan  who surely is in the same range as Sammy as player..while in no way better than he is as captain.

you and Mail making noise as if Sammy is being replaced by Sobers as a player, instead of Carlos..who is all of 28 years old already and is as ordinary a player as Sammy is reputed to be

this mus' be a kind of imaginary world I am in here.  I mus' bounce my head, or pinch my rarse,  to see if I wake up ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

many were the times during when west indies did not need his contribution.

the fact is things went well and Sammy was a major factor in the production of those goods.

but the fact is dat he gorne now Sammy..and your bwoy Carlos is in..Carlos who is not a political appointment eh! riiiight ::confused::

so wat yuh keeping up this racket for..going orn and orn about how Sammy was no good.  he is gorne so leave those who appreciated Sammy in peace and take your big man Carlos and go yuh way.  lets see allyuh 2 bring home world T20 for the next 10 years den

I only ever speak for myself MAPPIPPEE, but as it happens, in this instance, I think he is absolutely correct.

I cannot repeat adequately, a difference of views should not be divergence rather a way together.

Even if you remove the rain drawn matches, that doesn't impact the winning percentage. However, as Ketch did suggest upthread, removing the wins against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, would change the overall winning percentage. It may take some time for me to recalculate this, but will do my best to present the updated results.

Edit: See below.

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."
