I get sick and tired of people blaming Sethi and Shahryar Khan for the troubles of Pakistan Cricket.

To be fair to them, they have given the PCB selectors, the Coaches and the captain free hand to run the team, to pick the players they want. They have not interfered at all in Cricketing matters.

Sethi has done a wonderful job in running the PSL. I cannot understand why is he being blamed for the troubles of Pakistan Cricket today. He is doing his job behind the scenes along with Shahryar Khan, they are at the most responsible for the financial health of the PCB for which compensation from the BCCI is vital. They are trying their best to bring international cricket back to Pakistan.
They are trying to inject funds into domestic cricket and trying to PSLize domestic cricket

They have left the cricketing affairs like selection to Inzi and his selectors along with the coaches and captain. They have given Mickey a free hand in terms of coaching and Sarfaraz is the blue eyed boy. They have supported Misbah and Younis even when they were past their sell date.

If the selectors are not picking players properly, if the coach and captain is not selecting from the squad of 15 properly, if the players are not working hard on fitness and not working hard on the bare minimum skills drills needed for modern odi cricket, then what can the chairman do apart from getting rid of the players which is the job of the selectors?
 
What qualifications do they have to run the PCB? Why are they anywhere near the PCB? Only in corrupt countries do we have such people appointed to such important roles.
 
Yah these guys are not to blame but it is their responsibility to revamp the domestic system in pakistan and psl alone isnt the answer. The quality of cricket played in domestic cricket is atrocious and has been for years but nothing has been or is being done to overhaul the system. Pakistani cricket is fast dying and thats because of poor domestic structure.
 
I agree [MENTION=2501]Savak[/MENTION]

Its just a cop out - this reason

Ofcourse it doesnt mean that they are responsible for a whole lot of other administrative mess

Most Idiot Analysis One would ever imagine of.

This is like saying a CEO of an organization is not responsible for it's loss
and profits, right??

Pakistan ODI Ranking # 8 - Chariman & CEO Not Responsible?
Pakistan Test Ranking # 6 - Chariman & CEO Not Responsible?
Pakistan T20 Ranking # 7 - Chariman & CEO Not Responsible?

What else they are responsible for then?? For their foreign tours?

Who is Responsible for betterment of Domestic Structure??

Who Hire Coaches?

Who Wasted couple of years by making Azhar Captain?

Who chose Selection Committee??

This you think is at the top of the list, in terms of things we should be sick and tired of?
May I politely suggest that being the target of ire is what these people get paid for. So
let them at least do this part of their job.

Corruption begins and ends with a lack of accountability. A bureaucracy doesn't function because
everyone knows who to blame for what when things go wrong; it functions because everyone
knows who's responsible, where the buck stops, and who's turn it therefore is to be booted out
when things really go pear shaped. In an ideal world, those in authority know when it is their turn
to fall on their sword, and let someone else have a go at setting things right. But in the PCB,
positions of authority are treated like feudal entitlements. It's Hotel California with benefits, 'You
can check out any time you want but you can never leave.' Sethi is the embodiment of this system,
and it speaks volumes that goons like Shakeel Sheikh are said to be 'close' to him. They are nothing
short of disgusting this bunch, and if they had any sense of shame they would resign en masse.

My question is that when Australia, England, India, New Zealand, South Africa have a pro longed period of bad form, how many times do you hear the CEO, Chairman, BOD resigning or being fired?

The players have to be held accountable.
 
Why have they not done anything to sort the domestic structure out? why are our cricketers still playing with substandard balls on substandard wickets back home? Sethi's only priority so far has been PSL and they have done zilch to improve the standard of domestic cricket. His 3 main agenda's for when he takes over as chairman have absolutely nothing todo with improving domestic cricket which is a major worry. The whole system is a mess.

The PCB is hard pressed for the funds needed to do all this. The PSL was launched from the funds the PCB got from the sale of the PSL franchises. There is a reason why the PCB is pushing aggressively for compensation from the BCCI or a home series with them.
 
Why is it that CEO's resign when their organization isn't doing well?
 
Umar Akmal was selected due to higher up board member's influence and then you say the selectors and management/captain/coach have a free hand. And this is one of the rare cases that we ever get to hear about. We know how power obsessed and selfish not to mention how corrupt to the bone Sethi is, his buddy instated him the chairman 3 times and 3 times denied by court. Yet now he is the chairman now again.

Shameless

And the founder of PSL couldn't even bring half of the profit of the previous edition don't bring up the fixing because even IPL had fixing problems for years yet they didn't lose any revenue. I thought he was doing a "wonderful job". Their (Sethi and Shehryar) financial acumen shows when the PCB reported a 1.34 billion loss for year 2016/2017. Yet nothing is Shehryar and Sethi's fault and should be immune to criticism.

Najam Sethi is responsible for creating PSL that gave Sharjeel Khan, M Nawaz, Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan and Rumman Raees.
 
both of these are a massive part of the problem.

for a cash strapped board, now we have to send not one but two heads to spend three weeks fully paid vacations in england.

they can't have good quality cricket balls because too expensive but here we are spending thousands of pounds a day because our board head is touring uk with the team.

appalling and disgusting. tired of these cronies eating away tax payer money

If you think Sethi and Shahryar Khan are not responsible of crap in Pakistan's cricket, You are really ......

If you wana change cricket, pcb should be full of young talented people between ages 40 -max 60 not between 80 - 90 years old people.

They are responsible for all bad things but not redponsible for any good thing.
 
They don't deserve any credit for this. Yes, they might have a role with the PSL but that's because it's a cash machine for them. Done absolutely nothing to improve domestic cricket nor is there anything on Sethi's agenda when he takes over as chairman to improve the state of it.

Can't wait till Nawaz is booted out and all the leeches in the PCB go with him.
 
its sarfraz, his team and not PCB which has won the CT17

PCB spared no opportunity to not make sarfraz as captain

a big credit goes to nadeem umer for exposing sarfraz as a potent captain in PSL

karachi patrons have done a lot for the cricket, patrons like rashid latif, moin khan, nadeem umer and muhammad ali shah

PCB management during musharraf was head and shoulder above the present one

pak produced a lot of talent in under 19 who should have been utilized by PCb afterwards like indian cricket

Sethi tries to be posh with his plantly obvious fake enthusiasm, " Oh Ma God ". Interested more in gorging his food which wasn't even at the time to break fast. But than again, if these people were afraid of the Almighty, they wouldn't leech and scam as much as they do. Good riddance.

Sethi deserves credit for pushing the PSL idea hard.

It put a lot of young talent in the spotlight making it impossible for selectors to ignore.
