Re: Young Captain and Dysfunctional System - ketchim - 03-22-2015
An esteemed national coach of Ireland over the past eight years, Simmons returns to find West Indies cricket
in a state of deterioration unrecognisable from his time in the team between 1988 and 1997.
His tough challenge is to improve its status.
Re: Young Captain and Dysfunctional System - ketchim - 03-22-2015
He immediately confronts the realities that several of the long-established players are on the wrong side of 30:
most nearing the end of their careers, and that, in contrast, 23-year-old Jason Holder, the new ODI captain,
who is regarded as a long-term investment, needs all the expert help he can get....

Simmons may not have the services of players like Sunil Narine and Dwayne Bravo for the series against England :
since it clashes with the IPL

There is plenty on Simmons' plate as he returns to his roots.
There is no time to waste.

Good Luck to BOTH !

Phil Simmons is challenged by the young captain that's what....rather saddled already with a young captain who is likely to sabotage his tenure with the west indies ODI team..and soon the test team too! ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::
Re: Young Captain and Dysfunctional System - ketchim - 03-22-2015
IF he dont Fall into Line : he can "saddle up" and leave
Re: Young Captain and Dysfunctional System - mapoui - 03-22-2015
system is dysfunctional indeed...not the cosch who is at the door..entry. dysfunctional system that has produced a dysfunctional young captain.
show me ketchim..how a dysfunctional system can produce anything but dysfunctional results ::confused::
the young captain chosen by dysfunction must himself be dysfunctional. inescapably so >

Quote:He also needs to let the board realise that he is in charge, and it should not meddle in his work.
With a basically new group of players he is unlikely to endure the fate of Gibson, who claimed that board president Dave Cameron gave the reason for his dismissal last August as the senior players reporting that they had lost confidence in him; it was a case of the tail wagging the dog.
I wish him luck with that first statement.
The board have always meddled and I have no doubt they will continue to do so.
