Re: Inzi says Miandad is best choice

Javed Miandad fears for Pakistan Cricket.

“What I have been saying for the last three years was not heeded and Pakistan cricket has come to a stage where we have no replacements for players and domestic cricket is in a shambles,” Miandad told AFP.

“I predicted Pakistan would fare badly in the World Cup and it came about. Now we need proper planning for cricket otherwise we won’t be able to solve the slump.”

Inzamam-ul-Haq, who quit as Pakistan skipper after the tournament, said Miandad was the best choice to coach the team after Woolmer but Miandad said he was not interested.

“Why should I apply?” asked Miandad, who served as coach between 1998-1999, then from 2000-2001 and again from 2003-2004, when he was replaced by Woolmer.

“I have been busy with some assignments and once I complete them I will start private coaching to help budding cricketers because I know cricket is in my blood and I can’t be away from it.”

“People can see how cricket affairs are run by those who don’t know about the game and there are no checks and balances because there is no constitution of the cricket board,” he said.

The Pakistan Cricket Board is appointed by President Pervez Musharraf, the board’s patron.

“As one of the pioneers of the game, when I see the waste of money on meetings at holiday resorts and other enjoyments, I feel sad because this is the money meant for the betterment of Pakistan cricket,” Miandad said.

Miandad – who played 124 Tests for Pakistan, scoring a Pakistan record of 8,832 runs, and racking up 7,381 runs in one-dayers – said his services had not been used properly by Pakistani cricket authorities.

“Life has been very kind to me and I always look ahead and always want to return what the game has given me. But sadly it has not been so,” Miandad said.

Yes Miandad will make the batsmen play sensibly by behaving like the coach of a football team, shouting at his players or giving instructions from the balcony.

Re: Inzi says Miandad is best choice

With all respect to Inzi, but at times one should think before talking.
He hardly does that these days.

@Alias

Miandad has a good cricketing brain and I think **it can be a good decision to make him coach. Also he was a great batsmen so may be **he'll make our batsmen play sensibly.

This:

Yes Miandad will make the batsmen play sensibly by behaving like the coach of a football team, shouting at his players or giving instructions from the balcony.

and probably he/she doesn't know the history that Miandad already tried n tested n failed as coach already.

Re: Inzi says Miandad is best choice

^ so did Woolmer, pybus and others. anyway, I am glad he is thinking about coaching private to help young cricketers.

Re: Inzi says Miandad is best choice

^ well that was one part too i.e. make players play sensibly ( )

That is probably going to help more than him joining the national camp again. When doing that work in the background you don't get criticism, no media pressure etc.

Re: Inzi says Miandad is best choice

I have not seen Pakistani cricket take any upward direction since firing of Miandad. All we have done is rely on our usual suspects i.e Yousuf, Inzamam and Akhtar for victories.

Isn't that what was happening in Miandad's/pre/post eras? so whats so great about Miandad's era?

Re: Inzi says Miandad is best choice

Isn't the discussion at KK1 always about Miandad as a medicore coach? I was just saying that having an overseas coach did not do wonders either. It is not coach or coaching style rather system.

Re: Inzi says Miandad is best choice

^ It did some wonders in case of Woolmer, the team was much of 'team', I believe...

Re: Inzi says Miandad is best choice

I think unity had lot to do with Islam than Woolmer. Just like Pybus and Miandad, our system failed Woolmer. He had great ideas on how to mature a team.
