US of PA Versus Siddons, the Latest.

[Zobair]

Thank you.

I will stick to my position. You are of course welcome to stick to yours. I have followed Bangladesh cricket long enough to know that rarely is the "present" at any point in time perceived to be better than any point in the "past" by our fans. The reality is that our expectations just about outpace the actual performance of our boys almost all the time. All the dramatic arguements being made in this forum may seem accurate to many of us hurt and disappointed fans but they really don't to justice to what Siddons is trying to achieve with his boys here.

Just as with the CEO of a "growth" firm, I am inclined to give a fairly long rope to Siddons. After all we invested considerable resources and effort into his recruitment process. I just don't feel we have given him a fair "go".

Having said that I am all for constructive advice being dispensed in his direction, without quite hanging a noose in front of him yet since that kind of "pressure" does no good to anyone really.

On top of that, poor team selection, clueless gameplans, no clue about opposition.

Now let multiply that with 3: you get the same. No need to wait 18 months. By then everyhtung will be gone: Test staus, ODI status, Takku Siddons, maybe even Banglacricket (hope not) and the many of the loyal fans

Only beneficiary is Mr Siddons himself: he gets to make additional $300K for lecturing us how pathetic we the loser fans are, for expecting a win or two here and there!

Have fun!
