I say no! they will keep Sammy.
but just in case I am wrong, who are the candidates and who will get it?
The candidates are....
1. Sarwan
2. Bravo (big)
3. Gayle
4. Nash
5. Ramdin
I really don't see anyone else.
I think they will give it to big Bravo, if they do change the captain.
if Bravo is still hurt, it will be Nash. (yes, Maps, Nash)

NO! Hunte and Hilaire appointed Sammy. Sammy's countrymen gave him a year job security with on the job training. Sammy is the first WI captain to be appointed for a whole year rather than a series by series basis. Why? I don't know! Sammy also is walking with two bodyguards, Richie and Gibson.
When Sammy's time is up either Big Bravo or Ramdin (if he makes the team) should lead WI. Don't be surprise if Sammy's countrymen give him an extended run with a year or even 5 years.
Unfortunately,West Indies cricket is more bout homeboys and politics rather than winning.

I think the obvious choice would be Dwayne Bravo, he's got fantastic energy in the field, not scared to express his opinion (like he did to Chanders in the world cup), has the respect of his team mates and he plays in all forms of the game, another thing to consider is he was vice captain in the world cup so he's obviously in the coaches thoughts,
I just hope the selectors and coach aren't stupid enough to continue this "Sammy experiment", it's hurting the team and it won't get us anywhere fast, we have a genuine chance of beating Pakistan at home IF we put out the best team, but will the coach/selectors cut of their nose to spite their face? we shall see.

Afro.... I hear what you saying but don't bet your money on this.

A captain has to make the team on merit before he commands the respect of his players. Sammy is competing with Big Bravo, Pollard and Sammy for a place on the team. WI can't afford to weaken the already frail batting order to accommodate an extra bowler or specialist cappo. If Sammy can pull his weight play him but don't drop a proven player for him because he is captain. It will kill the team spirit.

Dwayne is the obvious choice but Sars cant be far behind. but lawd deh have a mess in there.
they have the wrong coach for sure which shud be the most easy of the parts to fix.
just fiyah the coach! hire no more coaches, putting the captain back on his pedestal uncontested, as where the buck stops
