What did Mohsin say? Can we get some translations?

Mohsin said Mickey was a 'stupid donkey.'

Mohsin is and has always been mentally unstable. The decision by Mani to put Mohsin in an all-important cricket committee and that too as Chairman is shockingly poor.
 
I am genuinely worried for Pakistan cricket now. I don't see Mickey sticking around for long if this joker is heading the newly formed committee. Bad times ahead for Pakistan cricket.

Not to foregt old dhagaays like Haroon Rashid and Iqbal Qasim (I think) coming back into the PCB folds for the millionth time!

He does not have any difference in his visions from any xyz PCB chief before
 
We were told that the PCB will be a more professional setup now...
 
I've got a strong feeling that this committee is going to do more damage to Pakistan cricket than good.
 
I dont even see the point of this committee , whats their responsibility and how good are they to to actually do their jobs.
 
My views on the cricket committee:

1. Mohsin Khan: Jealous and mentally unstable. I am sure he would have an axe to grind.
2. Wasim Akram: Tainted cricketer.
3. Misbah: Good move. He can be a good administrator with a clean background and a level head.
4. Urooj Mumtaz: Good move.

The first 2 points are going to have a destructive influence. Why can't we find better people than these two?
 
Mickey Arthur should be more thick skinned. No coach in the world demands an apology over criticism.

Did Micky Arthur apologize to Wahab Riaz and other Pakistani players he openly undiplomatically criticized in the media?
 
[MENTION=2501]Savak[/MENTION]
I would refer you to the case of Kevin Keegan, who successfully sued Newcastle United for Constructive Dismissal for far less serious offences than the comments made by Mohsin Khan.

You simply cannot have an office bearer of the organization libel the Coach like Mohsin Khan has just done.

Perhaps Ehsan Mani has not quite got his committee structures right. He could have Mohsin Khan and Abdul Qadir in a Special Committee based in Outer Mongolia.

To be fair, he called him a "stupid donkey."

That's not constructive criticism.
 
I fully expect ehsan Mani to put together another committee to deal with this matter
 
Imran khan appointed Ehsan Mani.

Ehsan Mani appointed a mentally unstable tea sipping, track suit wearing, lucky man in Mohsin Khan as the chairman of this cricket committe.

Pretty disappointing stuff and a let down in Naya Pakistan.
 
Not keen on the familiar faces but this is naya Pakistan ,they should be given time & better show improvements or they all go starting with Mr Mani
 
i hope mohsin's ego doesn't allow him to apologise and i hope he resigns
that would be a blessing in disguise

Given the frustrating mistakes, stubbornness and rudeness Micky Arthur has shown in his tenure, he should be able to take it as well
 
Good decision by Arthur.


This is no way to behave, insulting someone then later willing to work with him
 
Either Mohsin Khan will stay or will Mickey Arthur. There is no way these two are going to be working together and I wish with all my heart that Mohsin is the one to go. Arthur leaving the team at this time would be disastrous for us.

Not really. Wahab is working with Arthur just fine. If anything it was Micky Arthur who was shown TNR door by Cricket Australia in humiliating circumstances
 
Keep appointing dinosaurs to the chairman position and this is what will happen.

It's a chairman position for a cricket board of one of the important cricket teams in the world, not a retirement home f f s.

For an organization which 'forgets' to publish annual reports for 7 years, the road to normalcy will take more than a few months. Some lessons will be learnt and issues fixed.

I agree, publishing fabricated figures for point scoring is certainly the first step on the road to normalcy.

Obviously you have some inside information about fabrication etc.

The PCB annual reports are unaudited and put out there for people to challenge with facts if they have any - this is different from 'forgetting' to post them at all.

I am glad that the new PCB is putting good practices in place. If they are wrong, they will be challenged in court and learn from it.

Back to the topic at hand.

Rather be called that than be insulted like Riaz. Imagine putting effort in training and working on your craft, and to be simply told you were essentially worthless and didn't win a game in 2 years. Pretty humiliating. And was made from someone who worked, coached and Riaz likely put his trust in.

And the comment on Riaz wasn't constructive criticism it was flat out incorrect and exaggeration. Sure maybe Riaz wasn't amazing and deserved to be dropped, but saying he hasn't won a game is just wrong. It's just overlooked just because Riaz isn't in favour anymore, so people think it's alright to flat out insult him like that.

Mohsin has been mocked for his behaviour in the media, and has no relationship or accountability to Mickey. It's wrong and he should rightly be criticised over it. But yeah pretty funny he's taking offence himself when he's been pretty insensitive himself.
 
I still don't know which idiot thought appointing Mohsin Khan was a good idea honestly. The only guy who could have been worse is Basit Ali.

"He has not won us a game in two years. I expect players that have been around for a long time to be winning us games and setting standards. Otherwise we will invest in younger players who have long futures."

This is harsh, but it's nowhere as stupid and ridiculous as calling someone a 'bewaqoof gadha'.

Some perspective please.

Care to share your inside infornation, or the fact that crook like Sethi having his figures published hurts you too much
 
Mohsin Khan the tea sipper is back and that too as a head of the cricket committee. God save Pakistan cricket. He should be kept miles away from Pak cricket. He's been taking Ill of coaches consistently since his ouster as a coach. Just when you think things would get better PCB comes up with this.
 
Contrary to almost every poster, I am quite enjoying this chaos in PCB. All that calm in the previous regime for 5 years and we are No 6 and 7 in the formats that matter.

There should be some needle, some anger. Someone trying to prove someone wrong. Conflict brings clarity. People are in their comfort zones. Lose Asia Cup, and no heads fall. Now is the time to stir the pot.

My prediction: In 2 years' time, Pakistan will be up to no 3 or 4 in both test and ODIs. You read it here first.
 
Ehsan Mani
Mohsin Khan
Zakir Khan


What else do you expect from people like these? There's more humiliating stuff on the table.

It's just the start.

Start of a Naya PCB!

Mohsin must be kicked out. Not mentally stable, just like Abdul Qadir, Basit, et al.

Need to move away from these retired unstable folks.
 
This mani has rocked the boat before the world cup. Always knew he was useless.

Sethi was intelligent and could read between the lines. Its shame Pakistan works on political lines.

Criticising and personal commentd are too separate things. Mohsin khan seems to have crossed the line on many ocxasions which has seem to been the norm with many ex-cricketers. Wasnt this the same mohsin khan who said he wouldn't want to work with any cricketer who has been implicated or had any involvement in match fixing. Want he the kne who criticised wasim and not wanting to work with him. This is the same guy who pursued a career in bollywood and now talks of patriotism. I am not a fan of mickey and he has many issues but honestly to work with someone who has humilated you publicly is something i wouldn't be comfortable too. You can be thickskinned to bear the criticism if it was purely cricket based but our fellows love to personally humilate under the guise of cricketing criticism.
 
Basit ali.. abdul qadir...moyo..sarf nawaz .. mohsin khn are the type of excricketers who should be kept at an arm's length from such positions. The only thing they are capable to do is to criticise. Younis khan should be given a position as a role model for under 19s and A team
 
Appointing Mohsin Khan was a very bad move that Mani should have thought more about. Not only is this guy a nut who cannot be trusted to do anything productive for Pakistan cricket but he's also a trouble-maker and has been ever since he was playing for Pakistan himself.
 
His comments on TV a few days ago reflect his senile attitude which directly comes in conflict with the people he will be working with. If he had any respect for his own opinions then he would have never taken this job.
 
Mickey is a ICC tournament winning test no1 leading international coach.

Mohsin Khan is an ex player nobody. He has no method, no logic and probably lacks reasonable intelligence.

I wonder who's the donkey.
 
So Mani's new PCB committee is worse than Sethi. How on earth he can select a mentally unfit person for advisor committee.
Time for Micky to ask Mani to choose between him or Bollywood C grade movie star for cricket affair.
 
I respect Mani as he is a man with integrity. But he seems incompetent and too old for the job. Imran did a great injustice with Pakistan Cricket by removing Sethi- who was doing a wonderful job.

I’d be pleasantly surprised if Mani even manages to convince one team to tour Pakistan. I personally think Pakistan cricket will regress under Mani.

Exactly!!!!! This guy doesn't have vision and most of the time he is silent for not to be exposed. How on earth he was the president of ICC is beyond my understanding

Back to ex player stupid decisions and losing.
 
In this “Brawl”, if Arthur leaves his role, PCB might have to hire a Dinesh Ramdhin equivalent for “foreign coach”’s role.

I wasn’t aware of this “donkey calling” staff - if it was just prior to the appointment, then I have to say quite naive by Mani; or may be he is not willing to continue with Arthur. Either ways, not a good case for PCT.

Mickey is not leaving the role as issue is just with the committee. Secondly its not Bangladesh cricket team who cant hire a decent foreign coach, there were other decent options as well when Mickey was hired.

Imran's ego would have taken a hiding if he hadn't removed Sethi. Politics are always dirty.

Mohsin Khan is just as loathsome as the likes of Basit Ali, Abdul Qadir and other ex players with no brain.

Mani's first few months paint a dire picture for future.

Why you brought Bangladesh here I don’t understand. At least no BD senior cricketer or BCB executive calls national coach donkey in live TV - that does reflect some class indeed.

Pathetic stuff by Mohsin Khan and Mickey is right.
Also dissapointed with the PCB for appointing a 80 year old!
 
Mohsin is an emotional guy, and sometimes his emotion take over the words coming out of his mouth. He was wrong in saying such words, could have chosen other words to criticize Arthur. There is nothing wrong in apologizing when you are wrong, so he shouldnt hesitate.

Your assumption is baffling!!! Could you care to explain how you came up with such a high level conclusion.
 
Mohsin Khan was nothing more than a tea sipping cheerleader during his brief stint as coach in 2011/12. He tried to emotionally blackmail the PCB into keeping him on full-time despite being told from the start he was an INTERIM coach.

His planet sized ego meant he couldn't accept being replaced by a vastly more qualified and experienced international coach in Dav Whatmore and kept badmouthing him throughout his tenure.

Meanwhile Mickey Arthur was instrumental in reviving South Africa after a low point under Ray Jennings in the mid-2000s and oversaw the development of two of the finest cricketers of the 21st Century in AB De Villiers and Dale Steyn. Despite difficulties with Australia - he gave Test debuts to David Warner and Mitchell Starc.

He has taken us to #1 ranking in Tests and T20s, and has lifted our ODI ranking from #9 to #5. Pakistan won their first global 50 over tournament since 1992 under his watch. He has blooded a generation of youngsters and has revolutionised the team in fielding and fitness.

There is no comparison between a world class coach and a failed B movie Bollywood actor whose incessant whining and disgusting insults thrown at someone doing their level best for Pakistan cricket represent a loss of any shred of dignity he once had.

POTW. I hope Mohsin is removed. He has no place in the set up.
 
I could be wrong, but perhaps the biggest roundo's have been put on the commitee first, so you wont have media trials and ******** and whinning later on to why wasnt so and so given a chance. So, here you go, run the show, and if they can in a good manner, great, if not, out you go and replaced with others. I dont think this commitee will be allowed any shenanigans of any sort.

Reading too much into the post. The point was to highlight the ridiculousness of the situation.

Hiring Mohsin Khan in the first place was a massive mistake considering his track record. If somehow this situation isn't resolved and leads to Arthur quitting (very unlikely) then it would look REALLY bad for the PCB, and rightfully so. However, common sense should (hopefully) prevail in this matter.

I am curious to understand why ehsan Mani should be respected? I mean he should certainly not be disrespected, but what has he done to earn this respect from any Pakistan cricket fan?
As for integrity - my sons Quran tutor also has integrity, shall we make him PCB chief?

Some of the PAK retiered players spout so much rubbish against foreign coaches that I thought this was usual MHK rant from the time Arthur was appointed (instead of him) - later came to realize that it's from about a week back and he is appointed as the head of that group, after this!!!

Calling a head coach such, being appointed by 3 major cricket nations, who took SAF & PAK No. 1, five out of possible six should suggest what he is going to do in this role.

Agreed and definitely Mohsin should apologize as he was wrong with his words selection, no denying that.

Mickey has just demanded an apology he didn't say I wont work with him ever which is pretty fair on Mickey's part.
 
[MENTION=142432]Titan24[/MENTION] hitting the nail on the head.
 
How on earth can Mohsin Khan be given such an important role knowing very well how he has behaved since he was sacked as coach?

I'm with Mickey on this, He deserves an apology.

There’s nothing he has said which is different than the platitudes by other folks when not running the pcb. The least he can do is to keep these ‘roti, kapra, aur makaan’ slogans to a minimum and actually do the work he is hired for. So far off to s shambolic by appointing a person who basically said all this stuff a week BEFORE they put him on the committee.
Have said it before and will say it again: Ehsan Mani is a sham. A refined version of Ejaz Butt who is yet to understand that PCB’s place in world cricket is not what it was thirty years ago.
But sure let’s hear more stories about how he his good friends with the late Dalmiya.

What a pathetic comment and dig at a good quality poster. Why are you so salty? Cut down this jingoism.

BD has nothing to do with this thread and [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] is spot on. Do not take cheap digs at other people's nationalities or race!!
 
Mani is a political appointment because IK wanted Sethi gone at any cost. Sethi too was, like any other PCB chairman, but at merit being a great administrator.

Remember - when cricket was brought back to Pakistan by Sethi, there was only ONE person in Pakistan who was mourning and salty.

EVERYONE was happy except.. yes you got it. Imran Khan.

And then his team had to make up explanations to sugar coat his naivety and stupidity.

He was salty and mourning just because it was Sethi who managed to do it. Personal animosity.


We all know Mani is a clueless dud. He is in cricket administration for DECADES and has nothing to his name. He is not a doer, not an out of the box thinker, not someone with as many contacts or persuasion power as Sethi.

Cricket in Pakistan, PSL, these are all brain childs of Sethi.

Let's see where Mani takes us .

Leave it. I expected better from Mani (read Khan’s hand picked guy).

First that financial statement (which Sethi ‘ll make him swallow, trust me - I have seen few figures, and Sethi is a crook, but a capable crook & quite smart - won’t have sent legal notice unless his a$$ was covered), then this. Before that Zakir Khan & a popular statement of finishing department cricket.

In Bengali, there is an old say - Bahattur er Bura”. (Buddha of 72) ..... Mani has crossed the age of 72 already.
 
Agree fully with Mickey.

Mohsin should apologize otherwise he should be sacked. Why was he appointed in the first place?

He started it with the Ramdin taunt.

Who are you? His side kick?
 
Some Sethi-lovers on this board will say any number of things to discredit Mani. Guess what? Sethi isn't coming back and neither are his incompetent cronies who were holding onto jobs they clearly didn't deserve. This was by no means a good decision but saying Mani is a sham and a failure only highlights your bias.

Running the PCB is not rocket-science. If a half-decent journalist who has no connection to cricket can run it then so can a man who actually has a background in cricket administration. Atleast he has the integrity to not go begging to India for a series after every few months.

There is an even better one in Pashto: “che da shpayto she no da wishto shay”. When you turn 60, it is time to throw you out.

60 is also the official age of retirement in government service, but when it comes to PCB, that is when your career takes off.

They have advertised for a GM, bellow 55 (and since it doesn’t require any qualifier of FC cricket experience, even MMHS qualifies for application 😝), so I expect things to improve in future. I respect Mani, a very nice, honest but very soft spoken guy - but, this was my first comment on his appointment; too old & too soft to run such shows.

That GM ad I think is open to all nationals - may be PCB is trying to rope some foreigner and the qualifiers filter out every Buzurg of PAK cricket - so I am hopeful. They should convert it to CEO PCB & keep Mani as the ornamental head (like President of a parliamentary Govt) - he will be nice face to represent PCB in ICC & in perlamentary commeete for sports.

It seems like you aren't aware of what Mani has been doing, what incompetent old salty mouthpieces he has brought back.

And, he's also scrapping Dept cricket - the backbone of producing quality FC players.
