Every Pakistan cricket fans hopes so the same... PCB has been a mess for the last couple of years due to its instability.

I hope Hesson gets a full run so we know where we stand in reality instead of making excuses.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Let's see who gives up first Hesson or Pakistanis.

The way things went in the past, we can expect another blunder from PCB. BUt hoping that Hesson stays for full term and he gets full authority also.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

He is absolutely right. Giving Hesson a proper run is crucial not just for Pakistan cricket but for the reputation of the board.

I liked his comments on Flintoff too. Best of luck to him on his coaching role, he appeared to be a very caring and nurturing individual in his cricket coachind documentary and will bring out the best in young players.

Let's see who gives up first Hesson or Pakistanis.

If PCB won't give freedom and time to these coaches then it is futile to waste their and PCT time

 

[Cricket Warrior]

It's truly a surprise to me how the PCB managed to convince Hesson to accept this role when hesson already knows how they treated Gillespie and other foreign coaches.

The only reason why Hesson excepted this position is because he trusts his ability.
