Siege Mentality And Why Wi Won - zacaroni - 04-04-2016
Quote:The Caribbean side vented even more after their thunderous win against England that earned them the T20 World Cup Trophy. At the presentation ceremony, an emotional Sammy mentioned a number of hardships the team, the coach and the manager faced, including a level of disrespect that he said came from their own cricket board.
"All these things before the tournament brought this team together," the captain reported. "The ability to put all that adversity aside and to come out and play the type of cricket in front of such passionate fans... it's just tremendous."
Further evidence of a siege mentality came from Dwayne Bravo when he spoke to Star Sports. "We know that they (the board) did not want or believe that we could win this tournament. It was basically us against them. Even the BCCI does more for us."

Sammy used the very high profile win as the perfect stage to further expose the WICB to the rest of cricketing world .....excellent scenario to do so 8) 8)

He exposed all the islands and Guyana Board :
After all , Cameron is an ELECTED official.

Re: Siege Mentality And Why Wi Won - ketchim - 04-04-2016
Roland Holder exposing Sammy was priceless (on the LIE of the Uniforms)
As he rightfully asked : Sammy dem still disgruntled with the Pay check ??

"It should be clear to the millions who followed the just concluded ICC World T20, 2016 that the
eventual winners, the West Indies, were operating under some kind of a siege mentality"
FALSE.
Re: Siege Mentality And Why Wi Won - ketchim - 04-04-2016
"Pundits in the media and even their own board were skeptical of their ability and doubted their worth"
FALSE : Trini comess ably voiced by insular Ian Bishop and his silly portrayal of Pollard and Narine
That they were the "be all and end all" including porn star and petulant Lil Bravo
REPLACEMENTS were dissed by "pundit in the media" Ian Bishop
Bishop bwoy ended up with a golden DUCK
and the author of this piece still dont get it :-[

Sammy is disingenuous . This is the same Sammy that betrayed people like Gayle and Sarwan when there was turmoil in WestIndian cricket. He had his St Lucian homies Hillary and Hunte proctecting his ass and he was a company man then, but now the power has shifted to Cameron and Jamaica , has chosen this time to speak out . Hypocrite.

Kwams,
So poacher turned gamekeeper or even the other way around.
However perhaps he has learnt and in a new state of realisation.
Though he made his points with aplomb unlike the imbecile that is Samuels.
We must remember Tiger was a scab as well.
