:miandad

[usmiunique]

Nyc move hope it does wonders for our barsmen!!

[90MPH]

eh oh.........

[Eagle_Eye]

Oh dear....

Faisal Iqbal will be back everyone!!

[ahsan88]

Hmmm good move

[sanakazmi]

whattay u-turn.

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

so means he has been alloted foreign tours as well good well done PCB ... instead of director post ... he should have been placed in NCA in 1st place .... he is not administrator .. he is cricketer .... lets hope he don't try to become a head coach .... stick with his only role ... ... I hope this won't warrant another go for Faisal Iqbal

[Eht]

oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Now he will try that every batsman plays the way he used to play. He will try to change their natural style.

He should just work on the defensive techniques of the batsman...

[Seen Sheen]

Take it easy guys, he has been given the role of batting consultant not the job of chief selector.
can't see Faithal grabbing a place in the side..

[SOSami]

His calming influence in the dressing room is just what we need.

[Amjid Javed]

Good choice if its soley based on trying to improve our players batting skills.

[Faisalabadimunda]

Finally the pcb have some common sense.

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

its highly unlike if they put him with team on tour .... he won't stick in his nose in other issues .... he have character that needs his own space too .... so might clash with .... waqar too ... in the end becoming head coach .. & waqar walk away ... he should be made to work in them now ... when they are back home in NCA

Calm? He'll be furious at untimely dismissals or a poor show of brains in the middle.

And thaat ith ethaactly what thit team needs.

[AZ]

good move! totally agree with it.

[akamaka]

Personally wouldve liked Saeed Anwar, but Miandad is better then nothing i guess. Hopefully he will talk to Umar Akmal about mental side of batting.

What happened to "no other international team has batting coaches on tour so why should we have one?"

[SOSami]

Was kidding!

Although I agree - good move for a guy like UAkmal especially.

[*sallu*]

We should have a u-turn emoticon

If this helps or not, only after that series we will know!

But a postive move by the management.

[161]

Ermmm .. now that our batting is Ok we hire a batting coach ?

[AZ]

we had 2 collapses in our previous series.

it's not OK.

Mindad Saab Pleaase Umar Ko theek Kardo! Consider it your No.1 Priority!

[161]

The merry go round continues with the same old faces being fired and rehired/

Whats next -

Wasim Bari as wicket-keeping coach ?

Yawar Saeed to take Miandad's old role ?

[Sledger]

It is a good move overall because this team does need a batting mentor. I think the younger players Azhar, Shafique, Akmal can learn a lot from him.

My slight worry is that Miandad usually stuffs his nephew into his suitcase and sneaks him through customs.

[pak-fan]

oh no :"(
i want AAMIR SOHAIL as batting consultant

Exactly! This doesn't look like it'll end well. Throw in , with the possibility of joining them and that's too many egos even by our standards.

[Strike!]

Get instead.

if anyone knows how to construct an innings in Pakistan cricket, it's Inzy bhai.

I know what fairytale you will dream up against Inzy, please don't repeat it.

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

I love Inzi believe that he was the best at it ... ODI u can't have any better .... regardless what everyone else think about it ... I agree with you AZ bhai

The guy coulnd't even handle Prasad, woh kya kare ga ab?

[Liverpool_Faizan]

i have my doubts over a batting coach. but ok. lets hope this works.

[saeed-sohail]

Originally Posted by Ahmed Zulfiqar kyun ke ek zamaney pehle uski YK se larai hui thi

Why does YK have to come into everything I say on cricket?Inzi was captain for best part of four years and apart from Ys who were estabished batsmen before his time which batsman did he give us.He backed failures like Malik-Butt-Faisal-Farhat etc.Plus there was justice Qayyum fine on Inzi.Keep him away from the team.

[AZ]

it's not his job to 'give' us anything, it is up to the players themselves to use that opportunity and show something.

Justice Qayyum hearing? lol

and YK was not established, it was only under Inzy's term that he started to flourish...wasn't even in the team regularly before that.

[saeed-sohail]

Originally Posted by IAJ The guy coulnd't even handle Prasad, woh kya kare ga ab?

His record in games played against Prasad.

filtered 1994-1998 16 16 2 600 97* 42.85 848 70.75 0 5

[Gollum]

good decision....'consultant' means it is an open-ended deal...so i don't see too much ego clashing

[JibranAnsari]

I dont think inzamam would have helped much .inzamam was anatural talent ,he didnot have to work hard on his technique. Whereas miandad's batting's mainstay was his proper defense and ability to rotate srike. Miandad is a better choice.

[saeed-sohail]

It was not Imrans job to give us Ws but he guided them and developed them into greats.Even Aaqib was good under him.Now if his name come up for bowling coach he has a proven track record of developing young bowlers.Inzi has proven track record of backing failures.

Justice Qayyum hearing? lol

Yes he too should not be in the set up.

As for YK he had 6 100s before Inzi average of 40.Hit a hundred in first game under Inzi.He was reaching his peak nothing to do with Inzi.

[AZ]

the generation of the 90s and the current one aren't nearly the same in terms of talent, and even then, the players that have come through have done fairly well.

the likes of Malik, Butt and Kami were/are key members of the side, have produced many fine innings, especially in the ODI format...Test cricket has been more difficult as the system itself is not producing polished cricketers...and their time is yet to come, they are only just entering their peak.

YK and Yousuf both played their best cricket under Inzamam, but you're not willing to give him any credit for that, even though they are.

[Cover Drive]

Maindad is one of the few who is always helping batsman whenever he can. I remember when I was at Qadaffi Stadium Maindad for no reason (in my mind) was there and he was continuously gving tips to youngster.

Good move by PCB!

[MR__KHAN__JI]

BRILLIANT MOVE!

AS A MENTOR - I CANT THINK OF ANYONE BETTER...

HE NEEDS TO BE PATIENT THoUGH......

Not everyone has as much talent as HIM!

HE eked out every last bit of his talent by working hard.... such a brilliant cricket brain....

LEGEND

[MR__KHAN__JI]

INZI would also be a great mentor but a totally different style....

He would be like a father figure....

I loved his partnership with Bob....

Bob did the tactical thinknig.... Inzi was the link between Bob and the team making sure that Bob was going at a pace that Pak players could keep up with....

And miandad didnt know how to construct an innings?

[arsalan660]

Good if True

[cricfan967]

Welcome back Faisal Iqbal!

DOnt worry, chacha inti won't let Faithal come back into the side

[AZ]

did I say that?

am just saying Inzi would be a great choice as well.

[Zain93]

We have much better young talent available domestically. Iqbal is having trouble finding a place in the A team. No way in hell is he making another comeback.

[161]

Let me pose an interesting question.

If Miandad had some other active role in the PCB, would we have a batting coach right now ?

You guys giving old Butt too much credit.

[ringmaster]

Single double, single double , single double kal ke khelo yaaal !!!

[cricfan4ever]

it's about time!!! finally some sensibility!

hoping the youngsters benefit a lot from this and our batsmen can regain that ability to score big once settled...

the step to the next level is what our batsmen need and miandad should be ideal for it!

[aamerfan]

some where Faisal Iqbal is dancing wildly

this cant hurt us only help so i have no problem with this

[Afridi_Fan]

Good move.

[ballack13]

hope he knocks some sense into Afridi Akmla's and Razzaq and they fulfill their potentials
