I'd rather he acts like a coach than try his luck in fortune telling coz it didn't work last time. Any one else sick of the following phrases?
1) They are a young team
Then get some oldies then if it works for you. Doh!
2) This team has lot of talent
So why don't they play well?
3) They just need time to be good
And I need lot of patience.
4) Other test playing country doesn't play us
Other countries in the past has played proper tours (NZ, WI, Australia) and given our shocking performances in every tour why should they play us? We have ourselves to blame for bad performances rather than whinge and blame it on the world.
5) We need a decent coach
If a guy like Whatmore who is the Guus Hiddinks of Cricket doesn't work his magic on us then no one else can. Siddons failed before his plane landed in Zia Airport because he is taking on a team thats a goner in the long long run.
