^^nicely put and exactly my view here. the world class coaches do their homework really well, prepare game plans, make strategy and key decisions ahead of the match based on opposition strength, have discussion session with captain and key players. During the match situation sends instructions and messages based on game situation. But Shane has very little experience in the bigger aspect. He hardly had any accomplishments both as a player and as a coach. He never even led a team. He was a bowling coach for newzealand but got fired for poor performance. His shortcomings in the bigger stage is way too obvious. He does not know subcontinent pitches, he does not know our cricket and infrastructure much, he hardly saw our domestic cricket. But most importantly he does not have any experience at this level and as it stands he won't learn from mistakes and he really don't have anything to offer for this team, other than being a supporter of the captain and key players to keep his job. He knows his shortcomings and that's why he just listens to the captain and BCB president. The captain graciously taking advantage of him and keeps his fav players in the team. We had the best set of coaches during mustafa kamal who understands cricket and if he was still here we would not have the miserable situation we are at right now. Current success whatever maybe has lot to do with Siddons.
