all he said is just "common sense" .. spend money on infrastructure, hire better fielding coach, code of conduct.. i mean weren't these there already?
no offense, but we again are missing the crucial point.. FIND THE DAMN TALENT and POLISH IT! get our management right. Hire those graduates who know how to run business properly. Get investment .. do what Aus has done..
health of our players is very crucial. Body strength, stamina, fitness both physical and mental, and most of all, get rid of Mr. Ashraf ;)
Kamran Abbasi Blog Power without responsibility: the story of Pakistan
Today we hear that Mushy, the president not the assistant coach, has not accepted the resignation of his pal Nasim Ashraf. This is a diabolical decision. Ashraf has presided over the most disastrous period in the history of Pakistan cricket. Blessed by failure he is being asked to continue and finish the job. God help us. The job he gave the impression of performing was the destruction of Pakistan cricket.
Following the lead of his own boss, President Mushy, he appointed his own pals and acquaintances to key PCB positions. No wonder Pakistan cricket is in a mess.
Ashraf has presided over the dumb reign of Younis Khan as "dummy" captain, the doping fiasco, Waqar's dismissal and the horse-trading that lead to Mushy the coach being appointed, the injury and selection chaos, the unfettered power of Inzamam and the sidelining of Woolmer (on this I quote Bob: "Since the resignation of the last Chairman any views I have had have not been wanted! The new Chairman certainly has his own way"), and a failure to deliver the constitution that he solemnly promised.
What's more he has annoyed the team and management by hanging out with them on tour like some sort of star-struck groupie, worse still a groupie who has got involved with team matters. In short, I hold him responsible for orchestrating this disaster.
President Mushy's decision does make sense from one viewpoint, however. Pakistan has too long tolerated power without responsibility. If Ashraf were to be seen to be taking responsibility for his cock-ups then the president, in his position of patron of Pakistan cricket, might have to accept some responsibility too. Now we couldn't have that could we?
A while ago I said it wasn't time to abandon hope. I never abandon hope but when it comes to Pakistan cricket I've never felt closer to it.
This clown Cheema Achoo is making all these announcements now. Shouldn't all of these be implemented earlier. Just a week before the WC in that farewell to the team he made it sound like everything in pak cricket is on the right track. And now after some pressure on his rear, he comes out with this formula for success? Gimme a fking break! He thinks we are a joke. He needs to be fired up his ass and replaced by someone who knows a word or two about cricket.
I think we also need a Quaterback coach. After all you need to throw the ball with Zip and accuracy to the wickets.
You guys are forgetting, after WC 2003, PCB did really pulled off one of the most idiotic move by kicking out Wasim akram and all the senior players without even going through a smooth transition. I still believe Wasim and Saeed had two good years after the WC 2003 and we could have definitely used their experience and talent to groom young players. I'm glad we aren't heading into that direction again.
