Wonderful article Dr Z.

Naimul_Hd · #4 July 2, 2012, 09:26 PM

Liked his approach !

Quote:

BC: Time after time, our past national coaches have alluded to bad habits needed to be corrected to players already in the national team. How would you balance between development and, as you have indicated earlier, "a system based on excellence"?

RP: I'm more interested on focusing on the opposite ... Its more about developing good habits, good focus, good skills and game plans, we'll be able to evaluate that over the next 12 - 24 months.

I felt some of the questions were too early to ask him at this moment. I want those same questions asked after 1 year

BC: What do you see are the critical problems facing Bangladesh cricket and how would you like to go about resolving them?

RP: After 3 weeks in the job, it is too early to say, after 12 months I should have a perspective to be able to give some feedback. Often a Coach needs two full seasons to assess player depth and how the system develops players.

I'm too lazy to check...but can someone list all our Head Coaches(post ICC Trophy), and the duration of their terms?

Just looking at that quote by RP, he mentions needing 12-24 months to fully assess the situation and have a proper perspective of the situation on the ground...following on, you'd think another 12-24 months from that period on, to see the fruits of the remedial work.

Will we(the board, the players, the fans) remain patient long enough for that to happen?

**Zunaid** · #11 July 3, 2012, 12:19 AM

He was being very guarded and conservative in all his responses.

Definitely, the sort of responses you'd expect from someone if they had a media handler standing next to them the entire time(not saying that was the case here).

Suppose that's him using his experience, don't say things that can come back to bite you in the rear end later on down the line.

Maysun · #13 July 3, 2012, 12:31 AM

Good one, Zunaid bhai.

Ian Pont · #14 July 3, 2012, 01:17 AM

An extremely guarded interview as you would expect.

RP is clearly going to make his own mind up about the cricket system but really will not need 12-24 months before he has an idea of what's happening. It's obvious in a few months.

There is a saying: "To know the road ahead ask those coming back". To help, that could be the best place to start.

Sohel · #15 July 3, 2012, 01:33 AM

Great questions but expectedly cautious answers. These same questions need to be asked after every tour or at least on a quarterly basis to see how the answers change if they do at all. It would indeed be frightening if we have to wait 1 or 2 years before they do

BANFAN · #16 July 3, 2012, 01:40 AM

Good interview... He was expected to be defensive any way ... It's too early for him to talk about our systems.

**Zunaid** · #17 July 3, 2012, 02:32 AM

It was an offline interview. Hopefully, we can do a face to face one next. Ideal time would be just after the World T20.

I have to thank him for actually responding to my email and then agreeing to the interview.

True that.

Very nice questions I especially liked his responses on message to fans and when are we wining the World Cup! Well executed interview Zunaid Bhai, even though offline

Will be looking forward to his face-to-face interview.....
