Lets see who you would like as Pakistan coach?
All about personal choices and lets hear your reasons also
1 and Only Gary Kirsten
1 and Only Gary Kirsten
One of the main reasons he left India was because he couldn't stay away from his family. He left the south african job for the same reason as well.
Don't think Kirsten is a realistic choice.
Dean Jones. Either he will quit in three months or you will see total revamp of Odi team.
Also I think while a good man manager he is overrated as coach. He got success with Indiana and South African sides brimming with individual superstars and he was able to quickly make them into a strong, well oiled machine. However with Pakistan the problems runs deeper which is something I don't think Kirsten is equipped to do
In a dream world Tom Moody would be a dream choice

I would have liked to see Shane Warne (I know all his antics) - someone experienced, skillful, cunning but above all passionate. He is a sort of character, who somehow gets things done. Warne as HC, Siddons as batting Coach, may be Kabir Khan as bowling coach & Fontain as fielding coach, with a bad a** trainer.
Warne isn't a possibility, and I can't tell much about which other foreigner is available - I myself is more confused with Deano. He was the best ODI batsman for few years & a Test batsman with average of 50 for most part of career with lots of skill, intelligence & determination (His Chennai knock is probably the greatest ever under severe illness & adverse condition), & he has the required qualifications as well, but I am not sure if his personality 'll fit into PCB style. If Deano is appointed, it might happen that, PAK 'll play under Mohsin Khan in winters' AUS tour .....
Jones will be one of the most popular Coach among most players (not all definitely, but there is a reason for that as well) & I can bet on that; but working with PCB means he 'll have to come down to that level, which is the biggest challenge for any professional - Deano is a bit risky proposition than average. Besides, he can earn similar, if not more from media than what PCB 'll offer him, therefore why should he take that load of rubbish for too long? Aussies play cricket with heart, head & mind; they coach as well with same passion (& they are not "polished" like the English) - Dav had the worst temperament for a Head coach in his younger days, but I am sure all those Lankan, BD & Indian players respect him, like him. It's not by chance that some of the potential ATG of IND, SRL & BD were groomed by him & he had 10+ years of successful stint with 2 of the most corrupt & incompetent boards around, but it's difficult to find a match of PCB in entire global sports administration - even Nigerian FA's top 15-16 officials resigned the day they failed to qualify for WC.
Somehow, I have a feeling that PAK 'll play 2019 WC under someone as "high profile" as Aaquib, Basit Ali, Moin or Mohsin Khan - there is a reason why I am not so "sober" with Pakistan's cricket future .............

Actually what Pakistan needs is a good man manager; a quality that was severely lacking in Vicky bhai. Our players need a hand around their shoulders and someone charming and humble enough to motivate them. MHK in this regard is a good example.
I want to see Sehwag as head coach, with Akhtar as the bowling coach.
No man management is least of our problems because our players aren't st the required level and decades behind modern cricket
Which ones?
In different capacity Virat, Rohit, Ash, Rhane, Jaddu, BK & probably Ishant had been his pupil at NCA Bangalore & he was Coach of 2006 & 2008 U19 WC (teams that had Virat, Rohit, Pujara & few others).
And you 'll see one character in his best pupils - gutsy, stubborn, no nonsense; the characteristics that is the core of Aussie cricket.
1) Warne is all talk and no show when it comes to his post cricket retirement life.
2) Jones has always been angling for Pakistani team's coaching. Dont think he cares about the Media $ when he has always implied on how badly he wants to get the Pakistani head coach position. Jones hot headed temperament concerns me as well.
3) I dont know why you took Basit Ali's name alongwith Moin and Mohsin. Both have done excellent job as Chief Selectors and the latter has done a good job as interim coach as well. Is there some berating on play here?
I have heard Rahane, Rohit, Uthappa and Virat give credit to Gundappa Vishvanath for honing their batting skills at the NCA. May be he was there before Whatmore took over.
Could be, but that could be due to the respect to the great man. Dav was there from 2007 to 2011/12 I believe - most of these players were around 17 to 21 in that time & had trained under him.
Rohit was already in team for inaugural T20 world cup, so I doubt he spent much time under Dav.
Lol sheer entertainment. There would be breaking news coming out of the camp everyday.![]()
Realistically - I'd take a gamble on azhar mahmood
Dean is well intentioned but ill equipped
Dont want a coach who has played alongside the current players. It creates too much baggage.
Also I think while a good man manager he is overrated as coach. He got success with Indiana and South African sides brimming with individual superstars and he was able to quickly make them into a strong, well oiled machine. However with Pakistan the problems runs deeper which is something I don't think Kirsten is equipped to do
In a dream world Tom Moody would be a dream choice
Mickey Arthur could be an option, he needs to get back into the limelight
I'm not exactly a fan of his but not like we are bursting with options
How much is the pay?![]()
Na, you are not eligible as you are not expert in MS Office![]()
[MENTION=57355]pakistanigoneaussie[/MENTION] Azhar mehmood? What? On what basis you would come up with this? And how is azhar equipped and dean isnt? Mind blowing stuff.
Becuase azhar has taken coaching courses and has a successful county career, plus will be equipped dealing with the media and PCB .
Dean is well intentioned and basically was one of the first 'modern' players, but I don't think he will survive the politics or the pressure of the job
There are some issues with this. He is a nobody player. Mediocre at best. Wouldnt command player's respect. He has not coached any international team and pcb is the 4th wealthiest board. They dont need to go for such a low hanging option.
Well first you have to make best with what you have, no good coach would want to work with the PCB
Second great player usually doesn't equal great coach
You are correct in saying that great player usually doesnt makes a good coach as we saw with waqar as well. But the thing is that as azhar has no past coaching experience of an international team he has nothing to stand on to back himself. Its normal. He needs something to command player's respect. He doesnt have the impressive coaching portofolio and he isnt a good player too.
Well first you have to make best with what you have, no good coach would want to work with the PCB
Second great player usually doesn't equal great coach
most of the egos from the team are gone and like i said we dont have many options
We do have better options. MHK for starters. Carlo is waiting to get hold of the reigns.
dont need him.
quite literally the last person id pick
Who is MHK?
Mohsin Hasan Khan
dont need him.
quite literally the last person id pick
Why would you say that? Good record both as chief selector and interim coach.
