Cricket News-in-Brief - September 8, 2011 – Part 3
The next coach for Pakistan might be a local according to the chairman of the special committee formed by the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Intikhab-Alam-c64380. However, nothing has been finalised yet, as none of the committee members have decided
on the method of short listing the candidates.
Alam did not rule out the possibility of a foreign coach as well, but stated that the rumours circulating in the media regarding some likely candidates were absolutely baseless.
The committee was formed by PCB after the head coach of the national team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Waqar-Younis-Maitla-c96193 resigned from the job. He is currently with the team on the Zimbabwean tour, which will be his last assignment.
Former Pakistan skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Javed-Miandad-c66580 slammed the (PCB) for poor decision making on regular basis.
The legendary player blamed the board of making 90 percent of their decisions wrong.
According to Miandad he can bring improvement in Pakistan cricket only if he will be allowed to work with freedom. However, the board does not consider his opinion in any matter.
The 54-year-old stated that he had discussed the ongoing problems in the board with the PCB’s patron President Asif Ali Zardari and will hold a meeting with him once again in order to correct things.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in the second Test of the three-match series at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Thursday, September 8, 2011.
The hosts had lost the first match of the series by a huge margin of 125 runs and were looking to bounce back in the series. However, the batting failed once again, as only four players managed to reach double figures.
The highest scorer for Sri Lanka was all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AD-Mathews-c913. He collected 58 runs before being dismissed. This is a must win situation for the Lankan team, as they will lose the series if Australia win this match.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SL-Malinga-c2540 will be required to write an application to the board if he is willing to return to Test cricket.
However, the pacer has denied reports that he was given such instructions by the selection committee.
