I hope they are somewhat better than BahQar (that actually rhymes with beykar; which they both really were)

All disagreements aside, I do commend you for sticking to your stance of "need experienced coaches".
While folks like [MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] who used the same mantra are now licking their tongue seeing the names, just because they're baahir ke log, even though have NO EXPERIENCE.
I for one don't like this experience thing as long as the person has a good cricketing mind.
Haha, Rameez and Moin + Aqib had a good hug with a huge smile on their faces.
Azam Khan is going nowhere.
Now people need to understand why Misbah resigned. IN PRINCIPLE.

Is it only for WC?
Interesting choices. Out of the box I guess.
Full marks for effort, what would be good is if they could work with the players before the tournament.
Pollock would have been much better option especially in the long term.bah.
Michael Hayden has no experience in being a Coach at this level.
Philander is alright, Pollock would have been a better option if available.
Hayden is a fearless mindset that is so important.
I just hope Hayden persuades PCB to replace Khushdil and Asif Ali for Sharjeel and Fakhar
So where does ur argument of coaching experience go?
Haha, Hayden wouldn't have heard of any of those names. And let's see how many Pakistani players can get through his think accent and frequent references to the "Lord" etc.
I've heard this story before..![]()
Didn't see the whole event presser but few questions:
1. What are Moin and Aqib there. Didn't think they ate on pcb board or mgmt even.
2. Was Wasim Khan there and the way Ramiz is acting has anything been said about his role vs Ramiz role?
3. When will Hayden and Philander join. Start of t20 wc itself may be bit too late. They should try and get them for England series onwards at the latest.
Too many coaches is always a recipe for disaster.
What about Saqi & Razzler?
From what I understand
Razzler is the head coach
Razzaq is assistant coach and Saqlain Mushtaq is the Head Coach.
That’s exactly what Ramiz must have told Haydos.
If Razzaq is in the coaching staff then I recon you will see a more positive approach by the Pakistanis as well. Razzaq was a fearless player too
Not bad at all.
Saqlain is a calm head
Can someone share their experience and if they are level 3 or 4 qualified both Hyaden amd Philander.
Exactly. I think Razzaq will surprise a lot of his critics. A lot of people misjudge him based on his statements in media.
Neither has much experience. Very bizarre appointments. I can see Philander being a good coach one day but don't get on what basis they were selected.
Wait..so Pakistan are going into a T20 world Cup with no head coach?
And after sacking an extremely unpopular one from the position?
And with a captain who's leading them for the first time in an ICC event?
I've heard this story before..![]()
Lack of coaching experience was not my only argument against loser Misbah. Even with 100 years of coaching experience, he should be no where near international setup.
Ah what have you reminded me.
Unless they have experience of coaching, these appointments won't make much of a difference.
At least with Waqar, he has experience of coaching and is a bigger legend than Philander.
The criteria for me seems like one about hiring big names and that is not how coaching works.
What happened to Peter Moore?
So, Hayden replaces Misbah as head coach while Philander takes place of Waqar as bowling coach.
And what happen to Saqlain and Razzaq now?
Co-commentators of Ramiz of course, but who knows maybe they might be able to offer something different to the Pakistani players.
Worth a try I guess.
Ramiz has been very impressive so far.
Educated, well-connected and been around cricket seemingly forever. I feel like we could have done with him sooner.
So where does ur argument of coaching experience go?
Hate to break it to you, Misbah, with his experience as coaching, captain, or cricketer is nowhere near someone like Hayden. Misbah is not even worth licking Hayden's boots at times. Hayden is a great cricketing mind, coached Australia domestics and is a great analyzer. That in itself is good enough for him to be a batting consultant. I know the way Misbah was kicked out is bitter for you, but this is for the benefit of Team Pakistan. Misbah is certainly not bigger than Team Pakistan and I refuse to take those Pakistani fans seriously who prefer Team Misbah over Team Pakistan.
Don’t agree with Philander’s selection as I don’t even remember him playing T20Is however a good coach/mentor can arise from a mediocre player as well.
Philander might not have been the bowler that Waqar was but he’s definitely an upgrade.
Remember folks Waqar was anti-data and also by his own admission wasn’t a fan of analysis. He no had no methodology with our workers.
There’s a reason why he faced humiliation when he applied for the Australia Bowling Coach position. He was also ditched by his IPL team because he was so trash.
As soon as we loose a few games the media mafia will be out there preaching why is Pakistan not honouring its own legendary players to be consultants.
Who are they replacing? If it's Misbah and Waqar then perhaps we are better off without that sort of experience.
We did have him as CEO in the early 2000s. I'll leave people to judge the results, particularly on our domestic game.
Atleast with Mathew Hayden we will not have these comical incidents of threatening a coach with a butter knife or refusing to take an ice bath.![]()

Waqar , I respect him a lot (a genuine superstar of Pakistan he was); however, at the same time, I dont want him to pick coaching again (which unfortunately he will) unless he works on his man management skills, and try to become a coach. Rather than coming here for a free ride
Misbah , on the other hand was a free loader of Pakistan cricket because of stupidity by 3 better players. He got his due many times, and PCB should never accommodate this person, just because he became captain after spot fixing..I will again reiterate, it was Shahid Afridi who also played a key part in lifting this team from scandals..
Agreed.
Waqar showed his true colours as a serial bottler in the Pakistan v India contests in the 1996 and 2003 WC and also against Australia in the latter tournament where he totally lost it when he deliberately decided to bowl beamers at Symonds.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that he never had the patience, composure nor the man management skills to be a Head Coach or even a specialist coach. Yet PCB carry on re-hiring him.
As for Misbah, him and whoever was responsible for his appointment should never be allowed anywhere Pakistan cricket.

Spot on!
Had Waqar in his later years focussed on his bowling , rather than playing petty politics in team from 1999 onwards, he would have ended up much better bowler.
I also does not like bowlers to end up becoming head coach (I might be wrong).. As for bowlers, who was in the game for maximum 10 overs, its very hard for them to think about the game holistically..unless these fast bowlers also used their brains during their playing days. Which unfortunately, Waqar has not. Same goes for Shoaib Akhtar
I really wanted Dean Jones instead of Misbah. But these guys will fail. Mark my words. We need someone with a bit mature sense like Tom Moody or Andy Flower, and Shoaib Akhtar for our bowlers.
Lack of coaching experience was not my only argument against loser Misbah. Even with 100 years of coaching experience, he should be no where near international setup.
