Why is Daren Sammy a divisive figure in West Indies cricket?
Protein-hungry islands of Protsku. Food with protein, naturally.
This is Kimo Roach, and I listen to the Caribbean Cricket Podcast. Yes, yes, yes, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another edition of the Caribbean Cricket Podcast. It's been a bit of time, actually. I don't think we've dropped a video since Santoki and I did one on the 27 All Out, dropped a couple of shorts, dropped a few bits and pieces, but no real kind of full-length video, no discussion topics. The good news is I'm officially on summer holidays now. for the next six weeks at the time of recording i am due to fly out to jamaica tomorrow uh in about literally in about 24 hours i'm due to fly out to jamaica so those of you who will be at the second t20 between west indies and australia and you're going to buy in a park buck me buck me and we'll have a few conversations you know
one, two, drink, this, that, and the third. So look forward to that. Next time you see me recording some content, it'll be from Jamaica. So again, look forward to that. If anyone's got any ideas of what they'd like me to do whilst I'm in Jamaica content-wise, again, shout me. If there's anybody who wants to do some collaborations, shout me, so on and so forth. But listen, this is a little quick video.
What happened during the 27 all out debacle?
I want to talk about Darren Sammy. I want to talk about Darren Sammy. Since the 27 All Out debacle... There's been a lot on Darren Sammy. I think... I've got something to say. I've got something to say. And this is an episode where I'm going to need you all to actually listen. Those of you who love to get in the comments, those of you who love to try and take little experts out of context and not listen properly, you're going to need to listen to this one. So before you continue, get your Johnson's Cotton Buds, get your packet of Johnson Cotton Buds, and wipe out your ear hole. I'm going to need the uncles in particular to wipe out their ear hole. If you don't like using cotton buds, go get your rag or something and just give your ear hole, just give it a little wash and clean out.
Because true say some of you, you're harder hearing. You're stubborn to a fault.
What criticisms has Daren Sammy faced since becoming head coach?
Listen. This one's special for the ones at the sides and out the back. Listen carefully. First things first, no matter what I go on to say, this is the first thing that needs to be said. Darren Sammy is not above accountability and he is not above scrutiny. No matter what I go on to say next in this video, yes, he can be held to account. Yes, he can be called under scrutiny due to the 27 all out. And for that matter, whatever else it is that people want to hold him to account over. So everything that I now say does not in any way deny the fact that he can't be held to account. Was the 27 all out ridiculous? Yes. Is there a context that should be applied to the 27 all out? Also, yes. Go look at Andrew McDonald, the Australian head coach.
Go look at his comments about the pink ball at Sabina Park and then think maybe there is a bit of context to what we saw.
How did Sammy's team selection impact the series against Australia?
However, one of the reasons why Samuel will come under great, great scrutiny and cuss out from many, some across the region is fundamentally seems to stem from the fact that for this series against Australia, he made a big call. Santokhi and I discussed it before the series. I think I did a couple of videos where I discussed it before the series where I said that Sami is going to have to live or die by his sword, right? I don't know if that's the right analogy to use. It was a big call to drop the likes of Kaveh Mahoj, Alec Athanase, Ameer Jangu. Josh De Silva, etc. It was a big call to make wholesale changes to the batting lineup. And of course, he brought in Brandon King, Roston Chase as a new captain, Shea Holt.
Who else came in? John Campbell came back in. It was a big call. And the reason why I said it was a big call at the time was because we were playing the best team in the world. Yeah, some of you are going to say South Africa. South Africa aren't the best team in the world. Australia are.
What context should be considered regarding the 27 all out?
We were playing the best team in the world.
