Pakistan experts’ biases and unfair criticism of foreign coaches

[tiger_khan]

The whiteball foreigner coach is taken to cleaners for every perceived reason. Even when the matches are won he is criticized for the team selection

Meanwhile a Pak origin red ball coach, who was involved with the recent home tests losses, is for some reason promoted to a higher rank of the head coach

Not only that he chose to play two fast bowlers in the first Test of the series against South Africa, on a turning track. Misread the pitch and rectified the mistake in the following test by replacing one fast bowler with a spinner, on a less spinning track

Why are experts on TV pursuing nepotism and politics 24/7?

Why the double standards?

This is not something new. They way these experts (and even journalists) have treated the foreign coaches of the past is embarrassing

They treated Geoff Lawson the worst because he stood up for them Pakistan's captain Shoaib Malik.

This is just to make excuses for the pathetic decisions PCB takes...

Pakistan just had a miserable test loss against South Africa at home.

No TV experts going after the head coach who is of PAk origin.

I wonder why?

I also wonder, what would have been the reaction if the coach for this match had been Mike Hessen...

Was Mike Hesson not Pakistan’s coach for the SA series? Do they have him for only white ball cricket?

yes

 

[Omer2002]

Atleast hesson got us to the asia final which is an achievement with the pathetic team he has

Not like we have not done this before.. Nothing much here TBH

Also, Mike Hessen did not have control over pitches like Azhar Mahmood

All those critics who are silent on Azhar Mahmoods's coaching were pretty critical of Hessen and even rated Afghanistan better than Pakistan

So yes. Pak reaching the final should be appreciated by at least by the critics of Hessen because according to them, he didn't even select the team right for the Asia Cup in most of the games.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan experts are not experts at all. So taking them seriously is a mistake.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistani experts are like Chaat Masala , majority of them are with an agenda don't take them seriously

 

[BouncerGuy]

What experts are we talking about here??

What foreign coaches??

Mickey?? Hesson??

 

[mon858]

Not quite sure its coaches fault...when your team has these strange collapses 3 or 4 times in series in home conditions. Even if you blame them for 1 selection mistake in first test they won that. Second test, clearly players lost the plot. Unable to wrap up tail and collapsing like nothing in both batting innings. Maybe small blame for not giving some active advice for tail cleanup in 1st innings but it happens...

 

[Varun]

It's because the TV screen is an audition for them.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yes, forgive me for saying this but majority of the pakistani x players appear very bitter on media.

When did Shezzy and Nauman Niaz become cricket experts? Not long ago Shezzy was blaming coaches and selectors of the past of destroying his ATG career, and Nauman Niaz is just a cricket historian not an expert.
Sikandar bakht has been against Pakistani team for last 20 years.

I think you have not watched Pakistan local channels, during World tournaments Niaz & Shezzy are 24/7 on these channels venomously spreading their agenda

 

[Kianig89]

Sleeper cell?

The one with ulterior motives , planning something else and speaking something else

Shoaib Akhtar was the only one who succeeded with these stunts whose youtube channel did very good numbers a few years ago when it all started. Shoaib is actually very clever in this regard, knows how to get views. These other guys have just been trying to copy his method to do get more famous.

 

[tiger_khan]

What experts are we talking about here??

What foreign coaches??

Mickey?? Hesson??

Shoaib Akhtar and company made many below the belt remarks about Hessen's management on PTV. The team included Misbah, Shoaib Malik and Bazid Khan. Shoaib Akhtar was the worst. Bazid's criticism was more balanced.

They are not the only ones. There are many others on TV screen & Digital platforms.

There is rich history in Pakistan of over the board criticism of foreign coaches.

What Rashid Latif is doing to Hessen is disgusting. Claiming that Hessen is a Zionist without any proof is deplorable.

This reverse racism by the he Pak experts has been in action for a while. They invest a lot of energy to put the foreign coaches down. Geoff Lawson is another example.

This disease of reverse racism and Pak former players ganging up against the foreign coaches has been there even before any expert started to have a SM platform.
