Breaking News: Whatmore quits as BD coach - Page 3

Yes we need tough coaches like the tough army govt. we have now. Any lack of effort out in the field and stupid mistakes by players should be severely dealt with.

Thanks DW for everything he has done for Bangladesh cricket. It is very kind of him to extend for another month so to see our team through the India series.

It will be difficult for any other coach to maintain the progress curve.

We need a caring but professional coach not a hard face.

We had one in Eddie Barlow and then Whatmore. Who's next?

Do you need a shoulder to cry on? But all is not lost, if BCB offers more money, your best friend may choose to become your best friend again ... :p

BD team did need a patient and fatherly coach before ... and hiring whatmore filled that void perfectly. But now it's time to toughen up a bit and straighten the young ones. McInnes did it before, he should be the one to do it again.

Also, I have no idea why you say - "It will be difficult for any other coach to maintain the progress curve." What do you base your assesment on?

We have very short memory as a fan.

Look at Bangladesh's progress under different coaches from 2000-2003 (after gaining test status).

Hope you'll find the answer. if you can't, I am afraid, you'll never find it.

ialbd · #56 April 20, 2007, 02:15 PM

hmm unfortunate but as anticipated..... anyways Thankyou Whatmore for everything... your name will be in BD cricket forever...

BANTigress · #57 April 20, 2007, 02:20 PM

Thnks to Whatmore he done a wonderfull job..

oporajeyo_bangla · #58 April 20, 2007, 02:49 PM

Thank you Dav Whatmore! Bangladesh cricket is indebted to you for its current status. The next coach will have pretty large shoes to fill!!!

I wish you well in your future endeavors.

Steve Waugh a fighter. A man barely have a job (He is available). He can rebuild us. He has the knowledge.

Anyone watched six million dollar man?

I soooooooooo want STEVE WAUGH!!!

ammark · #60 April 20, 2007, 03:42 PM

Thank you very much Dav Whatmore... you have taken us miles forward, you have given us so much belief and self-confidence. We shall forever be indebted to you. We'll always relive the wins and the improvements that our team has gone through under you.

habfreak · #62 April 20, 2007, 05:21 PM

Bring back Gordon Greenidge (Or whatever the spelling of his last name is). Steve Waugh should be good too...and yeah..NOT SANJAY MANJEREKAR!
We should definitely name an end or stand after Dav Whatmore..wish he stayed for one more WC...Bringing us where he brought the Lankans!

tiger_2007 · #63 April 20, 2007, 06:50 PM

No coaches from Subcontinet, please ! I would strongly prefer someone from AUS /SA/NZ.

Mudassar Najar/Amarnath/Javed Miandad/Mohsin Kamal/ Ali Zia ----- those days are gone to coach BD team.

tiger_2007 · #64 April 20, 2007, 07:05 PM

I don't want to see Gordon Greenidge.

May this good bye acts as a blessing in disguise.

I would like to thank Dave for his hard work and commitment. But it seemed that he is no longer concentrating on his job. I am saying so because he has already showed interest in other places which indicates that if he continues to work with us then he might not be 100% commited and sincere to us. It is my personal opinion.

I think we need to move on. We need to get a good coach who can work on some important factor like mental aspects of the game, small technical things. Who can help our youngsters to improve as a person.

We need to get at least couple of more people who will work on the batting and bowling department. I don't know why Shahadat is not doing well even having a good pace. People with a same pace are doing very well in other teams. Our bowlers need to know how to bowl yorkers, slower balls etc. I havn't seen any of our fast bowlers bowling slower ball or yorker during this WC. Indicates we need special help and to be taken care of.

Naseer Hussein made some very good comments on us after the WI match. He said to the Sky sports presenter 'Charles, these boys are immensely talented.Aftab and Ashraful are simply brilliant. They have got so much talent. They need to be nurtured. Dave Whatmore must be thinking what he is gonna do with these talent. I think when they will play in the next WC in their own soil they gonna compete for a semi final spot.'

We need a coach who will find the mistakes and act accordingly. Dave was good but some of his strategies are not 100% correct. We need to have a different approach to the game.

GuruTM · #67 April 20, 2007, 10:17 PM

John wright would be the bestest choice. But i don't think we would be able to sign him up. Other teams will be eagerly awaiting to name him as their coach. Other than that i think Allistair d winter would be good. Does anyone remember him at all?
McInnes is also a very good choice. I am not sure if steve waugh would be the right choice for Bangladesh. If the time is right or if the money is right, Bangladesh by all means, should try to get john wright.

I didn't like John Wright's attitude towards Bangladesh when he was commentating. He was always talking about India's failure not giving credit to us.

He was taken to the commentary panel for India matches keeping in mind that he was in charge of India.And I believe he is biased. He can't be our coach.

Russell2k7 · #69 April 20, 2007, 10:32 PM

Pak is looking for John Wright.

What if Dav Whatmore was commentating a year from now in a Bangladesh vs. Ireland match that Bangladesh was losing, how would you expect him to react?

It is not about how I expect him to react it is about giving us the full credit.

He should know we are improving and we are not the same team. Still he was hardly praising us. Simply I didn't like it.

BD Tigers · #72 April 20, 2007, 11:06 PM

thank you for job well done.

Protic · #73 April 21, 2007, 04:39 AM

Steve Waugh would be a heck of a choice!!

fwullah · #74 April 21, 2007, 05:55 AM

Only 3 names - McInnes, Steve Waugh and Greg Chappell?

I thought I read in the papers that a coach will be decided shortlisting from 6 coaches. Who can be those 6 coaches?

Personally, I would like to have someone like Dave Houghton or Andy Flower as our national coach - are they available or interested at all?

Stumped · #75 April 21, 2007, 06:56 AM

thanks everyone for ur wishes etc... my mum has been on this site last couple of days and we will both be passing on the messages.
