Re: Simmons sacked - TRINIDADDY - 09-13-2016
Adams is a great guy; would have liked him to get the job.
Simmons is a waste of time, but the WICB is a bigger waste of time. I like how the WICB issued a statement a few days ago saying that "Simmons definitely wasn't fired", yet are now retracting their statement.
I also like how Simmons called out and publically criticised the selectors.
Knowing the WICB, they're probably contractually obligated to keep paying Simmons for another 2 years.
I also love how the WICB fire their coaches immediately before a new series is about to start. These guys have better timing than Sobers.

Word on the street is, three Bajans will be taking over the coaching duties.

Adams refuse the job
right thing to have done :

It appears that the words "fired" or "sacked" have been strategically avoided - "separates from" and "cut ties" must be better PR presumably.

The continued instability of Windies Cricket continues.
Phil should have stayed with Ireland and who knows the door may still be open for him.
If Jimmy has, in fact, declined the post, well done to him.
The frustration is the highest power in the West Indies, CARICOM, cannot even touch the WICB.
Pybus should do both roles for the same fee!

Should the WICB have sacked Simmons?
Yes

Quick, Phil ....your door just open
Toby left 'em high and dry !!
"I wish Cricket Ireland every success with its continued drive for attaining
ICC Full Member and Test Match status."

Cricket Ireland has suffered another blow in its attempts to find a manager for their
national academy after Toby Radford left after little more than a month in the role.
Radford's departure follows Chris Adams' u-turn over the job after he was initially
handed the position ..
