The woolmer influence

Re: The woolmer influence

Recent articles have suggested that Bob Woolmer has a lot of clout and influence on everything thats Pakistani cricket..Its rumoured that he is behind the ongoing fued between Shoaib & the PCB and has suggested that the team are better off without the showman..it is also felt that while the best cricket technology & best backroom staff ( ie, trainer, physio etc ) are from Australia, he has gone South African.
My opinion is that if he has, then so what..If he has been given the responsibility of the team & will be blamed if they dont deliver then why should’nt he put his weight ( pun not intended) behind decisions that would have an impact..We just have to go back 15 odd yr back and look at what Imran Khan achieved..He was involved in every decision & was even given a big say ( or final say) in the team selection ( a luxury which is not within the realms of the current captains or coach’s capacity). No one till this day have had the courage to stand up to the showman..Agreed that he’s the best bowler in the world on his day, but how many of those days have we had..woolmer feels that he needs to act in the interest of the team & thats why he suggested to shoaiby baby to shorten his run up..but ofcourse Akhtar wants to be his own boss…i’d say its about time that we all backed the coach & go along with him & then if he fails, then we cann start faulting him..In the meantime i suggest the whole country should get behind him & let him build a team for the 2007 world cup.
