Wait until you hear about Darren Sammy.

 

[Socerer 01]

he's no worse than Holder in odis and better than him in t20s ffs, junk posting as usual by slippy

Nah it's Darren Sammy , nobody will remember Shanaka 30 years from now, Darren Sammy has a stadium named after him ..Man captained West Indies in all 3 formats as a 5th change bowler and a No.8 batsman with very humble stats ..Darren Sammy is Head Boy of the Mike Brearley school of cricketers , his best quality was to create Good Vibes in the West Indian Team .

Specialist captain.

At the Darren Sammy Cricket Stadium, there's a stand named after our current #3, Johnson Charles.

St. Lucia doesn't produce many cricketers.

At least Sammy was the captain of West Indies 2 world cup 20 20 wins, world cups are very hard to win look at Messi and Argentina

yes because a cricket world cup and football world cup are equally difficult to win

another junk post

 

[slippy888]

Shanaka you could say created his own history by winning the asia cup trophy

Even more impressive given that they had to carry a Darren Sammy in the XI across both tournaments.

This is funny as ****.

Not sure how this population compares to other places in the Caribbean. Barbados seems to have about 55% more people with a total of 281,000 and they constantly produce West Indies cricketers. Cricket must not be overly popular in St. Lucia. Or maybe it's popular but their system is no good compared to Barbados, which seems to be the gold standard cricketing system in the Caribbean.

Scored twice and put away his penalty during the shootout IIRC.

Darren Sammy was awesome. There should be more Darren Sammys.

Tim Paine was roughly replacement value as a cricketer despite being picked from club cricket IMO.

Reeza is definitely the GOAT though. What better way to judge one of the only totally subjective criteria that really matters than how influential his family members are?

Funniest part of this is Johnson Charles would also have to be one of the worst cricketers ever to represent West Indies

It is amazing that Slippy threads generate as much discussion as they do when the only reply should be "no"
