Said it a lot, saying it again. Coaching staff is not the issue.
The underlying issue is lack of skills and ability.
You can bring in the world's best coach and this team will get hammered exactly the same way as it is getting right now. No coach will transform Naseem into a world beater.
People here reminisce Mickey Arthur but what has he done? He got hammered 3-0 in SA with Pakistan and is getting hammered again with SL. He can't transform a minnow team like Pakistan or SL into beating top class teams consistently.
But if people want to satisfy their own desire that a coaching staff change will change the fortunes of this team, then try it out. In 2 years time, they'll be back to square 1.
Until Pakistan produces batsmen and bowlers who are at par with elite teams, fans should lower their expectations and try to be the best amongst SL, Bang, WI. Then slowly work their way up.
Bangladesh had better coaches but had terrible results. They only started competing when they found the likes of Shakib, Mushfiqur, Tamim. Pakistan needs similar quality players to compete.
This is an interesting point of view and has some merit to it.
Lack of talent is surely an issue.
Somewhat agree with it but Msiabh being on a the scene for SO DAMN LONG should've had groomed AT LEAST ONE good batsman on his own. But he never did.
The part where I agree is that we don't need to spend this astronomical amount of money on coaching staff, especially the head coach who is not even a qualified coach. What an irony is this.
For batting, what we need is a School level or Ranjhi Trophy level batting coach from India. This coach won't be costly if his govt allows him to work in Pakistan. And I am 100% sure he will have a positive effect on our batting culture if he is sincere with his job and if we are ready to learn.
We need to be honest with ourselves.
This is not the era of Black Thunder and Kaali Aandhi, Dennis Lilliees and Richard Hadlees and the two W's. That phase of cricket is long gone.
Unfortunately, in this day and age where batsmen, who have become monsters, rule the cricket world.
And for bowling, we need a part time consultant like Tim MacCaskill of Australia where our team of bowlers could visit Australia or meet him in Dubai every six odd months to attend a reconditioning camp.
We can have a full time "manager/guide" on local basis who makes sure that the players practice the drills and techniques they learn from the reconditioning camps, and this person should also look after the bowlers for the fitness routine and strength building process.
If your bowlers are not smart enough, don't know how to swing and do not have deceptive variety in their bowling, they simply can't survive. A super great bowling speed hardly matters these days.
