Rashid is an idiot, period. **Remember **when he was **shafted **in favor of Moin, how he started crying, and even accused the board of being racist, and even sought the pir of karachi's support. Enough said.
Thats your personal opinion about Rashid, i never saw man lose his spot to moin in11 years on his international career because of rashid's lake of performace. And even if he went to someone to get support then to me thats nothing compared to selling your country's honor.
Also i dont have proof, but can u prove that Malik didnt try to get political people involved for last 8 years to have his ban over turned??

If you think Malik didn't deserve to become a coach because of his lack of experience, then why are you siding with Rashid, because Rashids protests have to do with the allegations, not lack of experience.

Rashid's protest was based on past allegations its because he doesn't have to prove his experience to ANYONE, may be u r forgetting that rashid has been running cricket academy for years in karachi and has excellent coaching experience, he was the one who spotted Sami in 2000 and pushed for his first class debut, Kaneria, the Wk pak tried in 2000 in one tournament in Singapore, and to an extent Fawad allam too. If he was an idiot or a cheap shot he would mention his experience but he is not and he is protesting with valid point, which i think anybody who followed Pak cricket would not disagree with.

Even though this isn't a high up national coaching position,

i am actually disappointed to see that you do not consider being head of NCA, the only cricket academy in pak, which is under PCB and which is the best way to groom young, budding cricketers in domestic cricket, a position of any value. Oh well but u can have an opinion, nothing wrong with that.

but to draw a comparison, what credentials does Lawson, Miandad, or any other cricketer have? Did they goto some coaching institutes?

Javed didn't need any coaching institution to be known as coach. he groomed many player during his career. The guy you are in favor of (malik) wouldn't have been half of what he turned out to be as batsmen if it wasn't for javed being his mentor. Agian, i am disappointed that you are draw a comparison between Malik and Javed or Lawson.
lawson himself was captain of NSW and coached them before coming to pak.

And Mudassar played to his potential when he was in the team? haha he was another Ramiz Raja when it came to batting. Maliks batting career, hell perhaps even as a bowler was MUCH better than Mudassar Nazar.
[/Quote]
i don't see why you would compare Mudassar's bowling to Malik's to prove Malik a candidate for heading NCA, Malik was a part timer and Mudassar was an allrounder, there is no comparison, and definitely malik was NOT much better than Mudassar

I on the other hand have ample proof about Latif the whiner's political connections (from a few years ago)

Again where rashid's political interests lie has nothing and shouldn't have nothing to do with his coaching abilities or his stand against Malik's appointment as head of NCA.
I do not see any reason why on a cricket forum, you would bring rashid's political interests while defending malik's candidacy
MODS:Even though Rashid is not head of NCA, why dont we have a poll asking people who would be a better candidate to head NCA or for any coaching position in NCA between Malik and Rashid.
rashid who has been active in cricket coaching regardless of being in the team or out or malik, who spock believes to be better bowler than Mudassar and gifted player which should make him the best candidate for behing head of Pakistan's best cricket academy?
