Peter Moores appointed as Head Coach for Karachi Kings

[Saj]

He's been appointed as Karachi Kings Head Coach.

The current Nottinghamshire head coach, who has been part of the England coaching set-up twice, will replace Herschelle Gibbs, who was recruited by the Kings for their 2021 season.

Islamabad United, Multan Sultans, Karachi kings and Peshawar Zalmi constantly try to IMPROVE their coaching setup while the remaining two franchise are completely nonsensical with their management support team.

It's like the owners of both their franchise have taken an oath of taking care of the finances of Moin Khan and Aquib Javed's family forever.

Ramiz Raja was right in pulling them up for their likenes towards mediocrity.

 

[MenInG]

Excellent decision by KK - we saw what a good Coach can do for MS so KK should expect the same.

 

[transparent opacity]

A great decision by KK. A step in the right direction.

 

[CricketingMinds]

Who is Peter Moore's and what has he accomplished in international cricket circuit as a player/coach?

 

[silentkiller187]

Who is Peter Moore's and what has he accomplished in international cricket circuit as a player/coach?

he has a good reputation in the county circuit, as a player and as a coach he has had success, was England coach twice and could be credited for developing the Broad anderson pairing . There was talk of him on this forum joining as PAKS first team coach lets see how things go in the PSL, brilliant move tho attracting these kind of coaches will only make th standard of playing higher.

 

[Snowflake]

Franchise coaching is nothing but a paid holiday for these folks.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

He's a data influenced coach. But has been twice sacked as national team coach of england.
Wasim Akram and Ramiz Raja rate him highly.

Among Eng critics, his press conference after losing their match to Bangladesh in a decider for 4th qualifier in their respective group in 2015 wc drew considerable ire when he said we'll look at data to figure out what we did wrong in this world cup.

To me, I think he is far more competent as a talent spotter than a tactician and manager.

 

[Justcrazy]

He may well be Pakistan national coach.

 

[guldozer]

Does anybody know why Gibbs is no longer the coach?

Unfortunately the BBC misquoted him. He actually said "we'll have a look at it later" - but that misquote has tarnished him as a numbers obsessed nerd with no regard for individual expression.

I agree with your summation - he'd be better suited to working at the NHPC developing youngsters.

 

[Saj]

Steady and safe appointment.

He has a lot of experience working with big names as well as developing younger players.

He's worked with Imad Wasim at Nottinghamshire too.

 

[MenInG]

So how's it going Mr. Moores?

 

[omairsiddiqui]

LOL dont understand why this guy gets rated so highly. I've only seen him fail no matter what the team is. Genius move to send Farhan at 7, sir.

 

[Barragan]

Awful.

Three games in a row with all the mediocre foreign batsmen have batted high up the order, despite failing continuously.

Nabi is nothing more than 3-4 overs at the end hitter.

Farhan and Sharjeel should be opening, with Babar at 3.

Both Yamin and Imad should be batting higher than gregory and nabi.

 

[Savak]

So how's it going Mr. Moores?

Looks way out of his depth

 

[Saj]

Looks like he's been dealt a rough hand.

He was probably throwing things at the tv when he saw what was going on in the draft.

He would have been asked. I am sure Salman Iqbal leaves these decisions to Peter Moore's, Wasim Akram, Babar Azam and Imad Wasim

 

[Major]

I think he did appear online and they had a detailed discussion

I remember watching some video clip where babar met with salman iqbal at his home and the laptops on to let the coaches to give their input.

Their bowling picks were really bad.

 

[Saj]

He would have been asked. I am sure Salman Iqbal leaves these decisions to Peter Moore's, Wasim Akram, Babar Azam and Imad Wasim

Being asked for advice and being active at the draft is a different matter.

He's probably regretting not being there as the people who left the responsibility to, made a right mess.

Why did he accept the job then

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Whats Wasims role in KK?

How could someone with so much experience like Wasim allow a squad like that to be put onto the pitch.

Neither of Wasim, Peter or Babar come out of this looking good.

In that case he is similar to Misbah and waqar who were poor tacticians but very good in sharpening skills of youngsters

The President of KK. He basically is in charge of their entire team deciding who to appoint as captain, coach and which players to select. He is the main person responsible

 

[Justcrazy]

Peter Moores has no answers in this PSL.

 

[arif_2021]

They look completely out of sorts...

 

[DeadlyVenom]

The President of KK. He basically is in charge of their entire team deciding who to appoint as captain, coach and which players to select. He is the main person responsible

To me it looks like his job is to collect money and look animated sitting on the boundary.

Its astonishing that arguably one of the best cricketing minds in Pakistan and the skipper of the national team are involved in the KK shambles.

This KK side is the worst I've seen in franchise cricket!

Unfortunately like what has happened in most of his career, Peter Moores will be booted out and made the scapegoat!

Wasim really screwed it up this year, he put together a really mediocre boring squad.

 

[arif_2021]

poor show from one of the most popular franchises playing half the psl in home city...

It was Moores' decision to not physically be present during the auction. Had it been the first time, his side played like this would be a different matter, but it's the third occasion in my knowledge with 2 of them being with an elite international side. He should have known better and done better this time around.

 

[shamaan]

I think Qasim Akram is better than the foreign players picked for KK absolutely shocking picks.

 

[Barragan]

Awful.

Three games in a row with all the mediocre foreign batsmen have batted high up the order, despite failing continuously.

Nabi is nothing more than 3-4 overs at the end hitter.

Farhan and Sharjeel should be opening, with Babar at 3.

Both Yamin and Imad should be batting higher than gregory and nabi.

Once again, I hope he doesn't make the same mistake again!

1. Sharjeel
2. Babar
3. Farhan
4. Clarke
5. Yamin
6. Imad
7. Nabi

That should be their top 7!

None of that lewis gregory, lamonby or nabi batting so high up rubbish.

 

[MenInG]

Time running out for KK and Moores as well - this could be their worst result in many years.

 

[Major]

As long as kk is making money, no one is going home

 

[Saj]

I wonder what he thinks of the current situation.

Doesn't seem to be making too many changes.

 

[ElRaja]

about time psl has some confidence in itself and realises this is probably a higher level competition than a lot of other domestic tournaments, its obvious he's struggling and hasn't got a clue how to change things up.

a lot of the overseas players lower the level of the tournament, and moores as a coach looks like he has done the same unless he pulls some rabbit out the hat.

guys who have done well in pak domestics should be rewarded with psl coaching gigs, they understand the local players far better than any overseas coach will be able to in a month or two.

 

[Savak]

Salman Iqbal, Wasim Akram and Peter Moore's have a lot of questions to answer

 

[krazystrong]

This guy wasn't even at the draft, he just joined during the tournament to make some quick bucks. KK management should be held accountable, why wasn't the coach there during the most important time, squad selection?

If he didn't wanna be there, select a coach who actually gives a damn about the team.

 

[Saj]

Salman Iqbal, Wasim Akram and Peter Moore's have a lot of questions to answer

The first probably more than the other 2, as he is the one who appointed both of them.

 

[Saj]

Peter Moores has no answers in this PSL.

A pale shadow of Dean Jones.

Deano would be messaging me about so many Pakistani players throughout the year, asking about their strengths and weaknesses, wanting opinions, wanting videos of them. He was doing his homework for the next PSL the day the current PSL had finished.

 

[Saj]

Well Wasim according to reports runs the show when it comes to the cricket side of things and is Salman Iqbal's main man.

Robbery by Wasim given that he is getting paid $300,000 a year. His output needs to reflect a lot more quality

Wow, that says a lot about the man and his commitment. RIP

 

[Snowflake]

Is he really being paid that much?

Wasim came across as very detached from Pakistan cricket during the T20 WC, so it's a highly questionable appointment. He comes up with his typical cliché dialogues and has no insight to offer.

I'm actually glad that his team is receiving the thrashing that it is... Might get him to actually work for the money he's getting.

 

[Justcrazy]

I can do a better job than him for 60 000 $ a year. I will produce better results.

 

[MenInG]

Babar getting some directions?

 

[MenInG]

Babar getting some directions?

Wonder how he is feeling now Moores?

 

[Savak]

Wonder if Moores is still looking at the data to figure out what went wrong with KK this tenure. Hopefully the PCB and future PSL franchises stay clear of him.

Looks puzzled.

 

[Saj]

Correct me if I'm wrong but why don't the KK coaching staff sit together - you'd think Moores and Wasim would be sat together talking tactics continually during the match.

 

[James]

Unfortunately like what has happened in most of his career, Peter Moores will be booted out and made the scapegoat!

Funny how this phenomenon follows Peter Moores around. Perhaps the issue is him.

 

[Savak]

I found it cringeworthy he was smiling and jumping up and down like a child when Imad Wasim was in the zone. For the most part Moores has been giving a dull uninspiring impression in the dressing room. He looks out of his depth in the job.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Yeah, perhaps his style of coaching suits county cricket where he is with the team every day.

When it has come to franchise cricket or international cricket the poor fella has failed miserably.

 

[shamaan]

Should be sacked.

 

[Saj]

Looking at the squad, could many other coaches have done a lot better with KK?

They would not put themselves in this position in the first place by having the sense to select a balanced squad rather than a squad which heavily dependent on 1-2 players only.

It will be interesting to know how much say he had in the picking of the squad.

 

[gazza619]

I think Peter Moores should be appointed as the Head Coach of Pakistan.

He will make a brilliant combo with Imad as captain of the white ball team.

Nice comfortable job at Nottinghamshire, security, well looked-after.

I would be surprised if he would want to venture into the crazy world of Pakistan cricket.

 

[Savak]

Tbh Moore's did not exactly cover himself in glory given KKs showing in the last PSL season

A short term gig to take Pakistan to the World Cup this year should surely interest him? Are you able to ask him please?

 

[Justcrazy]

To win WC , you need to believe that you can win , and then have a 14 member squad ready and playing together for a period of 10 - 12 games together , so that they gel and handle different situations. Pakistan is very poor at -planning.

They never develop any player , never work on skill set.

For example if you know you are playing in Indian pitches , They could have bowled fakhar or Harris for few overs and develop them as sixth bowler

 

[Abid Z]

Really Peter Moores has had a fantastic career in English County cricket. Saw him in. Photo at the PCB a couple of years ago and seems to be involved in PSL too. Wonder if he can be roped in as head coach some day.

No thanks!

Hesson is doing a great job and here to stay.

Yes that’s limited overs. The head coach is Azhar. Two coaches are fine.

Limited overs is different

 

[shaz619]

He was a disaster at Karachi Kings. PCB should stay clear

He’s a red ball specialist, not sure why he’s used in such position when he has so much to offer in administration, developing/scouting/managing young players, infrastructure & prioritising a culture dedicated to perfecting 4-5 day cricket.

His 3 championship titles are worth more than his stint in another lanju panju T20 cricket league.

Gillespie was also a successful coach with a deep resume in County, Australian State Cricket with championships under his belt. Even he could not last in the PCB. Moores looks too soft for the role. A team like Pakistan does best with hard task master coaches.

Gillespie was messed around by cavemen & not just him, Kirsten also had to depart - a WC winning coach, Pakistan are lucky they found a foreign coach willing to work with a bunch of numpties stuck in their stone age, but at least there have been some changes to give Hesson more confidence then the prior coaches ever received. Moores doesn’t need the Pakistan lead coach job and he already declined the offer back in 2016, having to replace Waqar Younis or Misbah; those boots are just too big to fill…..
