Panel of Selectors
Before i Go on I must say, i am a Big supporter of Sammy, but his recently Captaincy against India for me a is a Letdown. He prove really good When Pak and India tour West Indies, not including Bangladesh.
Sammy as a Player he is Not goo with the Bat, but Average with the Bat, great fielder, drop a few, but all great player do drop catches.
Daren Sammy (Captaincy)
TEST
P:13 /W:2 /D:7 /L:4
Test Performance Since Captaincy
Played 13. 335 Runs @ an average of 15.95.
and toke 32 Wicket at an Average of 32.
ODI
P:24 / W:8 / D:1 /L:15
Played 23 Matches. made 145 run at an average of 9.66
and toke 18 wicket at an ave of 46.33
T20
P:5 / W:2 / D:0 /L:3
dint do much batting but scored 19 run at an avge of 3
and got 6 wicket at an avg of 16.83
Yes as an Individual Performance in all format except in T20 as a bowler, Sammy is avg to Poor.
So we all know Sammy in this Team is unbalancing it, but the Question is
Is Sammy Team one of the worst of all West Indies Team?
Is Sammy Captaincy a downfall in West Indies progress?
Was West Indies a World Beater before Sammy?
So we head back to the year 2000, where West Indies were trying to rebuilds Team, look at this stats of West Indies Overall performance.
Team records | Combined Test, ODI and T20I records | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo
West Indies Out standing performance, (NOTE with team above them only, not Bang, Zim,etc)
Matching Sammy's Team best performance in a season.
Against India and Pakistan
ESPN Cricinfo Statsguru - West Indies - Combined Test, ODI and T20I records - Team analysis
Only person came close to Sammy performance was B Lara in 2006-2007
winning 8 Games with Team Rank above them
ESPN Cricinfo Statsguru - West Indies - Combined Test, ODI and T20I records - Team analysis
And the Best performance in Win and Loss Rate was in 2007 where they played 11 game winning 5 and losing 5.. Under Gayle, where he beat England 2-1 and then beating Scotland, Netherlands and Ireland.
But after than it was a Downhill till there Worst performance Ever in 2009, under Gayle,Bravo and Reifer.
So Basically As a Team point of view West Indies Team is heading up, only thing right now stopping them is one Bowler or Batsman short in Sammy.
We have on the other Hand Gayle, who is Bigger and better Player then Sammy, But doesn't he care about West Indies Cricket, only care for his own performance. Unlike Lara Who was actually Sammy's Loyality and Gayle's Talent put together, he had his problem with the West Indies board, the issues was Money. Beside one time, which never happen again, Lara never put it out on the field, he played for his Country and would do anything to see West Indies succeed.
As for Gayle.
Have alot of issues showing he is not Dedicated towards West Indies Cricket, which is making West Indies Cricket pay for his Attitude, where he could of put it into West Indies Cricketing leading it better and maybe with these new talent, have West Indies in a better position, bring him back now would ruin a good progress In the TEST team, but for the OD West Indies still have a long way to get a good ODI team.
Lets look at some of the Article regrading Gayle.
Chris Gayle has said that he doesn't want to captain West Indies for much longer because of the pressure the job entailed, and has hinted he may give up playing Test cricket to concentrate on a career in the Twenty20 format.

Gayle as a Captain Rejected The WI contact, which cost him his Captaincy, Which Also Cost all of this Issue we have today, just because of this Move by Gayle as Captain.
West Indies news: Chris Gayle turns down central contract | West Indies Cricket News | ESPN Cricinfo
It had one more article, I cant Find, Where after the Sri Lanka series, Gayle said he is taking a break from Test Cricket for the season against Pak and India this year. He got his wish, but made a really big issue for not been selected.
Every cricketer have dispute with the board some time or the other, but they never put them self Bigger than this game we all Love Cricket, But Gayle put himself bigger than the game. Gayle have ruin himself, If this was any other board around the world, Gayle couldn't make it back, but this is the West Indies Cricket Board where Gayle, Sarwan and these rest will get back in no doubt. But the Question is, when, will everyone on in the West Indies realize that the they are not bigger than the game, Everyone is at Fault, WICB, WIPA, Gayle and Co.
Cricket is not about one Individual person, it's about a Team, a Unit. Success don't comes over night it takes a While to come.
West Indies got these young talented players,but they career are Ruin, with all the dispute between the Old Player and the Cricket Board. NOTE the Board have Change many time, the coach also have change, yet The West Indies Cricket remain in one position,
The Player attitude towards the game and the Old legends of the game, need to change. If you don't realize, a lot of the legend are now helping these younger player progress, when the older player were there, they didn't even wanted to hear the legends.
Lets face it the world want to see a Good West Indies Team.
Right now this new West Indies wasn't a push over.
