Re: Waqar…
Waqar certainly gets credit for the improvement in bowling
but
He is also partially if not solely responsible for the bad decision to not play Sarfraz in the earlier games (despite repeated woeful batting by YK, NJ and below-par keeping by UA) as I believe the playing XI for each WC game was jointly decided by Waqar himself, Moin (now Cheema) and Misbah
It was a bad judgement call by all three. Giving NJ a third chance after his woeful displays in the first two games was inexcusable (he got out in the same pathetic fashion on all 3 occasions!!) and had it not been for public and media pressure the stubborn trio might have even persisted with NJ against SA!
So while you deserve praise for your good performances as coach you should also be ready to cop the flak if you make bad judgments or decisions
