Yes and settling for nepotism, cronyism and rewarding without accountability has been the forte of this nation. It has always settled for less. Why?
Why could they not have appointed a neutral person who did not have his hand in the govt. before? Why is it that the nation has to simply accept the one sided partisan and blatantly biased decisions?
Good luck in achieving any change to status quo with that attitude.
Re: Najam Sethi named PCB's interim chairman
who appoints PCB chairman president or PM?
Re: Najam Sethi named PCB's interim chairman
No one. ICC rules requires an elected Chairman by the board of governors. Hence the removal was a bypass of the rules. the appt. of Sethi is only a temp. solution. Who will Sethi make sure gets elected?
Re: Najam Sethi named PCB's interim chairman
I am sure this appointment can be challenged in court.
Re: Najam Sethi named PCB's interim chairman
Good lord, almighty. How hard is it to find someone who doesn't have affiliation or is slave to
Nawaz, Zardari......? Are all qualified people aligned with these 2 two?
Najam Sethi is the left nut of Malik Riaz, the most crooked guy in a country where cronyism is a industry. Aamir Sohail is a PML-N.

Re: Najam Sethi named PCB's interim chairman
Now a few appointments do go to your friends. This happens even in the West. Cronyism cannot be eliminated whether it is capitalism or socialism or whatever, it's just human nature. To say for instance that all of President Obama or British PM David Cameron's appointments are merit-based (and favouritism or cronyism plays no part) would be an absolute lie. George Osborne, the present Chancellor of the Exchequer (cf. Finance Minister), is a close friend of Cameron. Both went to Eton College
But should all (or nearly 90% of) appointments be based on cronyism or favouritism. This is what separates (corrupt) Desi from Western Culture

does George Osborne not have qualifications/experience to be Finance Minister?
Re: Najam Sethi named PCB's interim chairman

Osborne is educated for sure but knowing Cameron definitely helped. Treasury is the most important ministry in Britain and Osborne had no prior finance experience. He might have got some other position otherwise
Re: Najam Sethi named PCB's interim chairman
GoldenAsif,
Favortism is natural. But favortism is used when the abilities of 2 candidates is similar. For example, when i want to hire an engineer, i look for a capable engineer. If my cousin is capable to do the job and my team members think he's capable he will get the nod.
In Pakistan i want to hire an engineer so naturally i look for a rickshaw driver who has my blood line and i hire him. Plundering the society.
This is Imran Farhat's situation for you.
Re: Najam Sethi named PCB's interim chairman
As for Shoaib Malik's situation. The guy turned out to be brilliant outside the cricket ground. He was brilliant enough to invite some well known/brain dead ministers to his media covered wedding. Then Zardari hosted him for dinner. If all of our deserving players would stop concentrating on batting on seaming wickets and start hosting dance parties to invite Noon league ministers then they would get chances in team.
Re: Najam Sethi named PCB’s interim chairman
**What kind of an idiotic statement is that? What an embarrassment. **And many other awful comments made.
PCB’s never ending list of clowns … it seems Zaka got replaced with an ignorant clueless moron
Perhaps PCB deserves a suspension till it can find a chairman that can behave professionally**
ICC meeting: Some people tried to get Pakistan suspended, says Sethi
**LAHORE: Returning home after attending the International Cricket Council meeting in London, Pakistan Cricket Board acting chairman Najam Sethi verified rumours that there had been efforts to get Pakistan’s membership suspended.
Landing in Lahore early on Wednesday, Sethi desisted from naming any names but said that some people, including former board officials had attempted to get Pakistan suspended.
“But when they met us, they supported us and the new [board] constitution.”
Sethi said that he did not want to get into a blame game, but will instead sit with the concerned people and talk the matter out.
No international matches
The acting chairman said that while decisions regarding international matches had been taken in the previous ICC meeting, the current security situation in Pakistan had almost ruled out any prospect of international cricket returning to home soil any time soon.
“After Sri Lanka, attack, no team wants to come to play here, not even Bangladesh. Maximum we can do is ask them (ICC) to review after a year. But they demand assurances and demonstrable progress.”
Lawyer for Amir
Sethi said that after much pleading the ICC had agreed to form a sub-committee to look at the anti-corruption laws and see how, after the five year sentence ends, can Mohammad Amir play test cricket again.
Sethi claimed that the review was a big win and that now he and his colleagues had decided to hire a British lawyer for Amir.
“We will hire a white lawyer in UK, since they react to our skin colour, to look at the anti-corruption laws and look at ways to get at least 20% relief for Amir.”
On a question about Salman Butt, Sethi said that while Amir had repented and sought rehabilitation, Butt on the other hand had gone to every court, and it was only after he had been turned away that he admitted his guilt.
Sethi said that England cricket board and county chief Giles Clark said that “they were ready to listen but Salman Butt, Kaneria are not admitting their guilt.”Butt did not admit his mistake at any stage and has only now come out with it.
Unofficial tours
Unable to secure a home series, Sethi said that informal talks with the West Indies board chairman and the England board chief, they were working on bringing an unofficial team to play in Pakistan.
“Pakistan cricket is at the lowest rung, we are not winning, cricketers are cheating, no one wants to play here, things were never this bad.”
Sethi said that India dominates the ICC board, in part due to the IPL and the massive money it brings for players of different countries. “India does not have to plead its case, other nations now plead India’s case for it.”
The PCB chairman added that he was informally communicated that if he wanted anything done, it would be better to try luck in New Delhi and get the prime minister to mend ties with India.
Court trouble
Talking about a petition in the court against his appointment, Sethi said that he was just an acting chairman and with his new show due to start on Friday July 5, 2013, he would like nothing better than to go back to his old life.
“But then who will take care of the team selection for the upcoming tours of West Indies and Zimbabwe?”
The PCB acting chairman said that there was no use in pushing petitions, rather problems should be solved together. He added that if a chairman had been appointed by the prime minister on the orders of the court and that he had also been accepted by the ICC, he should be allowed to continue.
“If the courts now start appointing [chairmen], I want the court to appoint a chairman. And if the team then loses, then the judge who appoints him, it will be his responsibility to explain.”
Team selection
Sethi said that he had had no time to tinker with the selection committee, hence the current set up that he inherited will be asked to come up with a team for the upcoming tours.
“I will make the cricketers, coach, selectors sit and tell them to endorse the team. Win or lose, they will then be responsible.”

Re: Najam Sethi named PCB's interim chairman
Anwar Maqsood once jokingly said about late Moin Akhtar (he played all the different characters so well be it Punjabi bureaucrat, Sindhi wadera minister, pathan bus driver, memon seth, doctor, PCB chairman etc.) "pata nahin Studio 2 1/2 ki kya kismat hai, aaj tak humein koi 'normal' mehmaan nahin mila!"
Similarly
When will we get a 'normal' PCB chairman?

To give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe Sethi used the word 'gora' (which could also mean 'english' lawyer) and his comment was lost in translation
