Time for A Big Change in BCB and Team Management

[WarWolf]

Bangladesh cricket is going nowhere due to lack of proper management only. The best time for reformating our cricketing management and system is already gone. Yet it's better late than never.

• BCB President: It's time for bring a new man in. Govt appointed an illiterate, dumb and arrogant person as the BCB chairman which is already having its effect on the cricket arena negatively. He is interfering in every thing and making situations complex. He promised to decentralize cricket by the April, 2010. No progress of this is visible yet. He is just typical politician who talks with a lot of promise but does nothing.

• Selectors: Bagh mama needs to be removed from his post immediately. Bagh and co. does messing up the team by unplanned selection process. A long term selection policy must be prepared so that every selection committee remains consistent with their predecessors.

• National Team Coach: Siddons is a good batting coach. However he is not a great strategician nor does he have a good insight for long term which is a must needed thing for a national team head coach. He should be removed from the head coach post and be nominated as the full time batting coach. We must appoint an eligible and qualified person as the head coach within the next 2 months. We must not forget that we have less than 1 year for preparing for the WC 2011.

• Reforming BCB: BCB needs to be reformed. The current system is not efficient at all. There is no accountability in the organization. As the governing body of Cricket in Bangladesh and a money generating organization accountability is a must there. We need to appoint a good eligible person as the CEO as soon as possible.

• National Team Manager: This Hira guy needs to be removed immediately. He doesn't know what he says.We must hire some eligible person for the post.

WW, hope you have your bulletproof vest on. That is blasphemy you just spewed out in this site.

[Bugz]

Not blasphemy, just stupid.

[BD-Shardul]

BCB can remove Siddons, but the problem is, there are not many high profile people around who are willing to coach a team like ours. Are you sure that Richard McInnes would come and coach us as soon as we invite? Or do you think that Chacha would be better than Siddons?

If our players do not fight with heart every moment they spend in cricket, change in management, coach and selectors will make little difference. Look at Zimababwe. Doesn't matter if the whole country is in turmoil. Whenever they take field, they fight every moment, attack with whatever they have and never lose focus. This is the drive that comes from their heart and they do not give up until the last moment.

[hbk619]

what's the point of having siddons? what's the role for siddons? Sounds like he just taught australian players how to bat. or Buchanan liked him , and gave him a job for the aussie national team.

assistant coach: shujon
fielding coach: salahuddin
bowling coach: champaka
computer analyst, team manager, physio...etc

[nsd3]

Ebar kibhabe dekhabe learning curve going up? Unnotir Kheta puri!!! Even if BD batsmen score century in this test, there's no way one can defend today's performance.

[yaseer]

Agree with everything Sadi bhai.

Knowing our culture, nothing will happen to BCB president and "Homra-Chomras". But at least we should remove Jamie Siddons. Enough is enough, JS is costing us big with his "individual achievement" theory. It is now proven that he cannot make any sort strategic decision as a head coach. Make him specialist batting coach and appoint a head coach. Do it now!!! It is already late.

[magic boy]

Imo, Siddons will never agree to be only a batting coach of Bangladesh. or he may ask an amount which BCB wont agree to provide. and it seems unless we finish another world cup miserably no new coach is being appointed. and BD wont be a dominating tiger within this just 12 months. no more enough series/match against gr8 teams to prepare for being a stronger team. so the consequence of playing bad regularly will cause sacking Siddons after 2011's world cup. few changes in line up...again new young cubs under 23 years, sacking Shakib, new captain,a new high profile coach..lots of speeches bla bla...targeting for next World Cup 2015, before that lots of series with Zimbabwe, Shabnur, Fantasy Kingdom ..

সাদী ভাই, বলেছেন ভালই কিন্তু হবার নয় একটাও।

=> বিসিবি সভাপতিঃ লোটা ৫ বছরের ইজারা নিয়ে এসেছে। হাতি দিয়ে টেনেও তাকে এই পোষ্ট থেকে সরানো সম্ভব নয়। বহু বছরের ইনভেস্ট, পলিটিকাল হেনা-ত্যানা এখন এতো সস্তায় ছেড়ে দিবে? আর তাকে সরাবে কে? নিজেদের দিকের ইনাটারেস্টতো ঠিকই রাখছে। বাংলাদেশের ক্রিকেটের বারোটা বাজাচ্ছে? এইটা তো বিবেচ্য নয় তার অভিভাবকদের কাছে।

=> সিলেক্টরঃ এই রকম লুলা লোথা আছে বলেইতো ছড়ি ঘোরাতে মজা। কি দরকার পরিবর্তনের?

=>কোচ সিডন্সঃ হাতে পায়ে ধরে সিডোন্সকে বাংলাদেশের কোচ করা হয়েছে। একজন ভালো মানের আন্তর্জাতিক কোচকে বাংলাদেশের কোচ হিসেবে পাওয়া খুবই কঠিন। শুধু কাজটি কঠিন বলে নয়। শুধু দলের কারনে নয়। কাজের পরিবেশ একদমই অনুকূল নয়। দেখেন না সিইও/চীফ ফিন্যান্স অফিসার হিসেবে যাদের নিয়গ দেয়া হয়েছিলো অতীতে কেই জয়েন করতে চান নাই। বিসিবি অত্যন্ত নিম্নমানসিকতার মানুষদের দ্বারা পরিচালিত হয়। এখানে কর্তাব্যক্তিদের গূটিবাজী করতে করতেই দিন চলে যায়।

[Zeeshan]

I don't think drastic reformation is the answer, but the approach should be more in parallel to fabianism.

[Tiger Manc]

We definitely need to invest in a wicketkeeping and fielding coach.

গোড়া কেটে রেখে আগায় পানি দিয়ে কোনো লাভ নাই। আগে গোড়া ঠিক করা লাগবে।

[Bruno]

Removing officials are NEVER gonna happen, so you must stop saying "we must do this and that..."

Who will? When? How?

Do u even recognize that the people you refer to in your thread don't even acknowledge your existence, much less what you "think" they should do.

Y even bother to incite words of firing and hiring, when there are no decision makers in BC, nor will anyone at BCB ever hear your sorry plea.

They are going to run the show the way they intended, and you are just a spectator.

So remain in the sidelines and weep in private.

Because it does not matter what you think about their performance on the job.

And this website is only for the handful of overseas fans mostly, who simply like to connect with fellow deshis on a fashionable topic: cricket.

Thats what this website does. Its just a social networking site, not a site with any depth or voice for BD cricket. None what so ever.

[Ajfar]

and this management will go and a new management will come and 6 months later we will visit this thread all over again. Its a never ending cycle.

From that perspective, the whole political system in Bangladesh needs to be changed, otherwise incompetent people will always end up in key positions.

For now, I think that can make a world of difference for the national team.

How about a new bowling coach? the bowling is toothless.

[Bashie]

Couldn't stop myself from sharing some of my thoughts.

After watching a disappointed day of test match, there are some important points to notice.

1) Shaqib didn't look haapy to approach this test match, May be a management conflict is just disturing him.

2) Decision to field is not an individual one so the whole team is accountable for that.

3) Personally, I am not happy to see Razzak as a specialist spinner in test matches. Does it really take a rocket scientist to understand that razzak is not a test material? Again, I have serious doubt in the ability of selectors. A drastic change in every department is not the answer, I believe, but again it looks like right people is not in the right place to handle an ever growing organization like BCB.

4) Surely, there is lot happening off the field which is affecting our player's spirit for the game.

[kiriket]

প্লেয়ার রা খেলে ঘোড়ার আন্ডা, আর সব দোষ বিসিবির... এইটা একটা আজব ফোরাম। আফগান, আয়ারল্যান্ড, জিম্বাবুয়ের কি আছে? তারা তো উন্নতি করছে ঠিকই। সমান সুযোগ কেনিয়া পেলে এতদিনে অন্য দল গুলোর বারোটা বাজিয়ে দিত।

Well said.

But I still don't understand why on earth we decided to bat second?!!!

Too scared team would rather wait for something to happen then show some courage and make things happen. With this poor mentality nothing will change

We don't need to think about or selectors or team management, all we need is to fortify our cricket team. I think we need to bring on our senior players like Mashud

LOL.

How about the management team that was during Whatmore Era? Were they any good? Enlighten me, folks i wasn' too involved with Bangladesh Cricket back then.


but it seems Bangladesh got a lot of positives from the 2004-2007 Whatmore era...

was it partially due to good management or many other factors involved such as:

* the coming of Mohammad Rafique
* U-19 players like Aftab, Nafees carrying their good form to international cricket
* Mortaza staying injury free and often getting early blows.
* Emergence of Syed Rasel,Abdur Razzak(ODI), Shahadat Hossain(Test), Ashraful Sparking in patches...
* Core 11 identified and Improved upon(again I would credit Whatmore for this!!!)
* Consistently playing relatively weaker opponents and causing ODI upsets here and there => building confidence => to the next level.

so it has to do with a lot of factors, IMO! what we have seen in the recent past is a combination of poor decision making, lack of purpose, lack of winning mindset, and some players who lacks the execution to properly play Test Cricket. Too much Politics as WarWolf Brother mentioned(outside factors affecting cricket too much!!). Unforunately in cricket, sometimes a little thing such as a wrong umpire decision or not concentrating on one ball can be very costly.

who was our bowling coach during world cup 2007?
