Who's the 5th?

[Sheikh]

So we're down to 5, but whose the 5th?


1) Tim Boon
2) Steve Rixon
3) Dave Whatmore
4) Jimmy Adams
5) ?



So whose the 5th? Am I missing someone? Is it a local? Or perhaps a mystery outsider? Oh the intrigue!

[PlanetPakistan]

I think Roger Harper

[Bobaran]

I think Roger Harper

Yeah, I think so too.

[Sheikh]

Thats right! I was missing someone! I think its safe to say, however, that the 2 West Indians are the most unlikely to be chosen. It'll most likely come down to Boon, Rixon, or Whatmore.

[Oxy]

So what became of Aaqib Javed - very cold on that front!

If thats the 'list of 5' - then I hope its only between Whatmore & Boon. I would nt want Steve Rixon anywhere near the Pak set up.

Just comes across as a horrible person - not sure he would last 5 mins in the PAk camp before someone tried to beat him up.

[Bobaran]

Yeah I'm praying it will be Whatmore, or Boon. I think both can really do good for us.

[Toony™®]

I heard Harper on Geo.

[kablooee87]

It would be nice to hear from the candidates. Everything seems like such a short in the dark in this process. I guess that's how this sort of thing happens, at least in Pakistan.

[Afridi_Fan]

It has to be between Tim Boon and Dav Whatmore,my vote goes to Dav

[kayanni]

my vote goes to Rixon - tough talking Aussies who may be able to become more ruthless

[Easa]

Rixon? Hell no. From what I've heard, he is a very rude, egotistical type of person. Not what we need at this time. I'd go with Boon.

[TaZ]

id go with Aquib Javed

[ehjaz]

DNA has this thing for "foreigners"

[Vegitto1]

maybe the 5th one is Wasim Akram...and the PCB are trying hard to convince him, but dont want it disclosed yet.

[Big Daddy]

Id have both, whatmore and boon. One for the main 11 and one for the academy.

[hasbeen]

i want boon now. i wanted whatmore but since we werent his first choice, who knows whenever the indians come asking for his services. he might go running.

[NeVerMind]

I say we should have a show like 'The Apprentice' with all the 5 candidates with Dr Ashraf in place of Alan Sugar, setting up tasks each week like getting the Pakstani players to eat healthy instead curries and then firing one candidate at a time until one is left and hired!!!

I'll pay to watch that show!!!

Lawson isnt a bad bowling coach but becoming an international team coach would be a big step up. A couple of years back he was only the main selector for the University of New South Wales trials so he doesnt really have a real experience at anywhere near the right level.

[Sheikh]

Wow. Little did I know...

[SameerM]

i'd pick the most strictest coach, whoever that is
