I guess he was asking about luke Ronchi's credentials if I am not wrong.No comment, Rana knows better, idk much savak as a poster since both of us haven't interacted much.
Oh then same response, idk anything about luke ronchi's credentials either.I guess he was asking about luke Ronchi's credentials if I am not wrong.
Brilliant idea.If this is the model Pakistan's going to follow for it's coach i.e. a low profile, upcoming but hungry and competent (hopefully...I have genuinely no idea) international, I think they would do well to provide him air cover from all the politics by also hiring an internal "name" over him. Someone who can sort of manage the egos, politics, personalities but doesn't have interest in the day to aspects of coaching - let's say a Wasim Akram type?
I would say Shastri for India, under whom we had a fair bit of success, was such a guy. The common feeling is that he was a players' coach who left the operational running of the team was run to others - the likes of Bharat Arun, Sridhar, Rathour.
I must say, the team I am consistently most impressed with is New Zealand. Yes they haven’t won a WC, but they’re a small nation who have their best athletes go into Rugby.
The fact that they are consistently competitors in World Cup’s, even making 2 finals in a row, and also won the first WTC shows that they have a great setup.
Pakistan needs professionalism and consistency and a systematic approach. Luke Ronchi is the current New Zealand batting coach so he must have a good understanding of this system.
Mike Hesson would of course be ideal since he’s been a head coach before and also coached a PSL franchise to a victory, but Luke Ronchi seems a decent choice as well.
Listen to Lala.Shahid Afridi also wants local coaches for the Pakistan team.
-------------------
Shahid Afridi speaking during the interview:
“Pakistan has its own coaches; here too, people have kept their own coaches in front. Yes, it’s okay, a foreign coach may come, people like Andy Flower may come, who have a lot of service for England, for different leagues. So in my opinion, if a foreign coach comes, he sits on top of them, but the work should be taken from the Pakistani coach below, it is better.”
Now do you understand why I keep mentioning the NZ and Aus formula for Pakistan cricket?I must say, the team I am consistently most impressed with is New Zealand. Yes they haven’t won a WC, but they’re a small nation who have their best athletes go into Rugby.

Agree with Afridi here but we need to make sure that it is someone competent i.e Rashid Latif or Basit Ali and not another Saqlain, Waqar or MisbahShahid Afridi also wants local coaches for the Pakistan team.

This guy afridi is useless for pakistan cricket he did great to make his son in law pakitan team captain ahead of rizwanShahid Afridi also wants local coaches for the Pakistan team.

So they were willing to pay $2m to untested WatsonAs per some reports:
PCB contacts Gary Kirsten for Head Coach role and Jason Gillespie for Bowling Coach Role
I believe RizwanGary Kirsten might be good option. Who will be his Dhoni?
From what I’ve heard the PCB has alot of money in their coffers.. they just refuse to spend where it matters most. If this is true it’s surprising because you would expect theSo they were willing to pay $2m to untested Watson
Now they have two established guys who can easily charge that premium if not more individually from the PCB.
Where have they found all of this money from?!
Cutting down on the 900 employees too, saves a lot of moneyFrom what I’ve heard the PCB has alot of money in their coffers.. they just refuse to spend where it matters most. If this is true it’s surprising because you would expect the
money to be gone.
Jason Gillespie as bowling coach??
The guy is head coach material.
PCB was and is always flush with money. There is a reason why the chairman is such a politically influenced position.So they were willing to pay $2m to untested Watson

Misbah should be the Director of Domestic cricket. Look after the domestic cricket, the pitches and the grounds.The idea is Misbah as Head Coach and Gillespie as his assistant.
@Major @Hawkeye @daytrader please give us thoughts on this proposal.
PCB is pretty inconsistent in this field. Actually, PCB is pretty bad in every field when it comes to running the cricket matters in Pakistan. Who would like to be a part of such a system that can kick you out in no-time based on political instability and sometimes fans.How come Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or even Afghanistan can hire top class coaches but we fail? Pathetic board filled with useless players.
I would like Dizzy as head-coach if he takes the job. He seems like a really smart and chill guy and he has a ton of experience coaching Yorkshire, Sussex and South Australia. It would make more sense for him to take this job aswell from a career development point of view, as compared to some of the other rumored candidates.Dizzy has resigned as head coach for his Sheffield Shield side. It means he is likely to be appointed as a coach for Pakistan
His side finished 4th, which is last position 4 times in a row. The guy has been persisted with by his management, couldn’t get them the desired results. Seems like Sheffield comp is extremely competitive even with just 4 sides.
A battle hardened failure in a gruesome competition. I recon he will find the Pakistan job a lot less challenging
Actually it will be more harder cause apart from Amir or may be Nasim our bowlers have no intellectual to get rid of quality batsmenDizzy has resigned as head coach for his Sheffield Shield side. It means he is likely to be appointed as a coach for Pakistan

More likely career staining job. Current bunch of players apart from Babar/Nasim/Rizwan are just rubbish.I would like Dizzy as head-coach if he takes the job.

Dizzy is definitely coming, i just saw the news of him resigning from strikers as well. Hoping Gary Kristen also comes in now. I would love the combo of Gary and Gillepse. The two Gs.
PCB has the funds, funds is not the issue, as they budget such things.I don't understand why there is so much obsession with hiring foreign coaches and wasting a lot of money on their salaries while the country is under an economic crisis.
In a foreign set up, Azam Khan slips in on merit. He is liked by foreign coaches.PCB has the funds, funds is not the issue, as they budget such things.
I think foreign set up is preferred, because that means the likes of Azam Khan dont slip in.
No he is not lol.In a foreign set up, Azam Khan slips in on merit. He is liked by foreign coaches.
I’m pretty sure there is an interview of Mike Hesson speaking of his value. You seem to know better than HessonNo he is not lol.
He slips in due to Franchise cricket. In franchise cricket, you have 150 spots open, in international cricket only 15 spots exists in which only the most fit play.
There is a reason why someone like Cosgrove after performing for so many years in the Shield was never a regular in the Australian side. He was also fat
Im pretty sure Mike Hesson being a FRANCHISE COACH was talking from a Franchise POV and not from a National Team POV.I’m pretty sure there is an interview of Mike Hesson speaking of his value. You seem to know better than Hesson
So if he is valuable in FRANCHISE then what’s stopping him being a valuable commodity in INTERNATIONAL? For his country? Why is Rizwan not being sold at hundred based on his INTERNATIONAL reputation? Why did he play BPL and not ILT20?Im pretty sure Mike Hesson being a FRANCHISE COACH was talking from a Franchise POV and not from a National Team POV.
You seem to not know better
Franchise is picking him over other candidates, that ought to count towards his skill set and what he can bring in.No he is not lol.

Kirsten and Langer are currently IPL franchise coaches
Hesson is not in IPL now.. but there are also other coaches who are not in IPL now , may be they should strike a deal with them
Mahela, Gillespie, Cameron white, Simon Katich , Stuart Law, Hayden , philander, Ntini, Steyn , Alland Donald, Klusener, Graeme Hick, Gibbs, Eoin Morgan, Aaron Finch , Nathan Astle, Carl Hooper, Brian Lara, Walsh, etc
They can call each of them and see who is willing to give it a shot.
2 foreigners and 2 local coaches
I personally hope Umar Gul retains his job. Decent guy, hard worker.
That's a ridiculous thing to wish for.The coaches more or less have been confirmed. After all the ridicule from some posters here, PCB has come out very strong. Gary and Gillepse are way superior than Watson or Hesson.
I personally would have wished they give full authority to Gary on selection and tactics so that captain's powers are culled. Not sure where we are at with that.
Yousuf announced G Kirsten as head coach basically but the PCB hasn’t

Why not? Do you want to rely on someone like Babar who has zero leadership skills, or non existing captaincy IQ? How will change be brought if the dosti yaari champion is back at the helm? The mentality of being losers will continue.That's a ridiculous thing to wish for.
I would rather wish that some of these coaches 'coached' Babar to captain differently. That would be far better than literally hoping for the captain to be blocked out of decision-making.Why not?

The captain is the key decision-maker in any cricket team. Oftentimes his decision-making can be crucial to the outcome of the match. Just because you don't like Babar doesn't mean you wish for his downfall and the downfall of this team.
Well said. Babar has been monotonous as a captain in all formats, I haven't noticed even 5% improvement in his captaincy style since he took over as captain. No matter who will join as a coach, Babar's approach will remain sameBabar has now worked under the tutelage and coaching of Misbah ul Haq, Waqar Younis, Wasim Akram, Mohd Yousaf, Saqlain Mushtaq, Mathew Hayden, Philander, Shaun Tait, Morne Morkel, Grant Bradburn, Mickey Arthur, Mohd Akram, Darren Sammy etc.
None of these people could teach him much or atleast he didn't pick much from them no matter how much they tried to baby sit him. These guys can't polish him beyond a certain point, captaincy ultimately is about your instinct and cricket acumen which he lacks.
In the one series Shan Masood captained in Australia, one of the toughest places to lead and tour never mind your first assignment as captain, he showed plenty of innovative out of the box bowling tactics and field placings than Babar ever did in his entire captaincy tenure from 2019 to 2023.
Bro have you heard the phrase "You can't teach someone if they don't wish to learn."I would rather wish that some of these coaches 'coached' Babar to captain differently. That would be far better than literally hoping for the captain to be blocked out of decision-making.

Well said.The story on any thread for last 6-7 months
Misbah/Babar/Rizwan: "breathes"
PP: Another Conspiracy, dosti yaari, Haye mera Sarfraz, Saya Corps, Poor Amir, Make Imad captain, #JusticeforAzamKhan, I love India.
@Tags (bro please like my comment, i'll like yours)
It's gotten super annoying and nauseating.
Hilarious stuff but tbf those creating all the noise are doing it for a reason. The way Babar has been handed back the captaincy after being a constant failure needs that level of noise in the hope that it will wake some knobheads who are happy with the statpadders and their useless match losing records.The story on any thread for last 6-7 months

I hope one of them is King Ravi shashtri - the king of good times.According to a sports reporter, the PCB decided that they are now going to go by the book for coaching appointments where even if they have sent feelers and reached out to candidates and reached informal agreements with them, they are still posting official job postings and encouraging people to apply. Initially the PCB had zeroed in on Kirsten, Gillespie and they are still the main favourites to be appointed but since the PCB has put in an official job advertisement, they have received 1-2 surprising high profile applications which is now making them ponder and consider additional candidates as well.
Pakistan can't handle Ravi.I hope one of them is King Ravi shashtri - the king of good times.![]()
Under Moshin we lost 5-0 to England in ODi. Had he been our coach for 5 years we would’ve lost ODi status. No team of including associates don’t score 200 runs nowadays. I would rather have Misbah/ Waqar/Saqlain over this big mouth guy.As none of these guys will make the slightest difference, go back to a respected elder like Mohsin Khan and getting a proper fielding coach to coach the national team and also coach the coaches at the domestic level. The batting and bowling coaches are a total waste of time and have no impact on the players once they reach the higher levels. Mentors should be available if required by players. For example if player is struggling against spin, he should be allowed to ask for specific mentor to work with him on that skill
