And the latest news in Pakistani Cricket...

Re: And the latest news in Pakistani Cricket...

It's a knee jerk reaction and one that is not actually addressing the reason why they were poor Australia.

It does seem like they are fully recreating the team altogether though. Those two ex-captains were causing a lot of trouble for the team and neither had performed for a while. Cruel move, but perhaps necessary.

They are really setting a standard that the board is serious and that team members aren't to keep screwing around.

New captain, new coach, new team, perhaps new board next?
 
Re: And the latest news in Pakistani Cricket...

I take your point but what good is removing two of your best players as a reaction to not winning a game? Ok, they may have been in poor form or whatever but the truth is a lot of the dross is still going to be there.

The only message I can see being sent out is that the board is all powerful and above blame whilst the players have one chance to do well or they'll face draconian action.

And to think Yousuf was the number one ranked player, only a couple of years ago (my memory eludes me). Pakistan really need to find some harmony between the playing group and the board, as it seems the board is on a bit of a power trip and looking for all the excused it can conjure up. I don't think there will be too many willing hands go up for the captain's job now.

I thought they were sacked for the infighting they have caused?

The inquiry was set up to investigate why they failed to win a game - infighting was one of the items that came up amongst other things.

Ah I see. So I am 50/50 on that one the.

Must have been made for a good reason though.

Who knows? They are a law unto themselves and as I say, it is not actually addressing the real issue of why they performed badly.

But will this not, in the long run, improve Pakistani cricket? I believe by doing this a fresh slate is created as best as possible and can be worked on.

I do agree with you though.
 
Re: And the latest news in Pakistani Cricket...

Disgraceful act.

ICC need to take action against the Pakistan board because really THEY HAVE NO IDEA.

The reason why they performed so poorly is because they have had hardly any cricket in the last 3 years because no team wants to travel to their country, the PCB is run by absolute idiots with no idea about the way to nuture and create a well balanced team on and off the field and the team was being coached by a grandpa with no realistic ideas on how to improve his team.

I question how it can improve the team when the main issues they lost have not been addressed - banning a player is not going to improve the fielding or find you an opener for example.

The actions taken are personal nothing more, nothing less.

I would like the spineless ICC to investigate and see how much interference has come from the government and take action if neccessary.

You have convinced me. My opinion has been changed.

what a ridiculous suggestion that the ICC has anywhere near that power. It can hardly change rules anymore because of legal

Indeed, hence my use of spineless. There is more chance of the BCCI getting involved than the world governing body of cricket.
 
Re: And the latest news in Pakistani Cricket...

The only reason the BCCI might get involved with the PCB is to work on on getting their icon series back from the dead. I hate to the messenger but I doubt if anyone will get involved in this shambles.
 
Re: And the latest news in Pakistani Cricket...

Hmm just saw this. Please post country-specific thread in their own forums, thanks. I think there's a parallel discussion over there.

Thread moved to ROTW.
