They need to get rid of Brendon McCullum. His influence has ruined the franchise. He is as brainless as Afridi, maybe even worse. Has a one track approach towards the game of cricket and is not a good thinker of the game. He has tried to instill an attacking approach from 1-11 and has asked his batsmen to go out there with the mindset of scoring a 17 ball 50.
In these conditions, brainless attack will always lead you to doom. Just take a leaf out of Misbah's book and learn how to play in these conditions. McCullum succeeded with the NZ team because he had sensible players in Williamson and Ross Taylor who consolidated in the middle overs. At Lahore, he has no such influence so instead of finding someone who can bat 20 overs, he has instead instructed all of his batsmen to go gung-ho from the start as if he wants 250 every time they bat.
I have no sympathy for Fawad Rana because he should've removed McCullum and Aaqib Javed after seeing his side perform hopelessly for 2 seasons. If he expected things will change with the same setup and more or less the same players, he is as much to blame. Karachi were quick and decisive in shipping out Gayle, bringing in Afridi, employing a young captain and they look a different team. Lahore has to take smart decisions otherwise they will end up 6th.
