Lets bring some professionalism and some accountability. It is easy, Dawn and Jang group should ask for the yearly financial audits of PCB and make the records public, where the money going? who is spending the money?

Someone came up with the idea that Miandad should come to the US and check out how professional sports is managed here in the US. There are divas here too like Shoaib Akhtar but they are handled, sometimes the divas get away with the nakhras, sometime they are taken to task.

A very interesting example is the GreenBay Packers Football Club. Due to the size of the market, it was very difficult for a small club like the Packers to compete with the big clubs so they floated shares and “sold” the club to share holders, all GBay fans have shares in the company.

In the name of the people of Pakistan there are a lot of people who want a slice of the pie. I am sure even the Sports Minister is now drooling over the revenues that Cricket can generate.

Wake up, ask for accountability, it does not need to be very difficult.

Miandad was a great batsman for Pakistan. But great batsmen need not be great administrators too. If one goes by his personality traits , it is difficult to see him running operations of the board in such difficult times with any degree of professionalism. He is not cut for the job. He will be better as a talent spotter.

Before working for China, one MUST work for his own team. A (sincere) legend like Miandaad should replace Ijaz Butt on immediate basis…

I think Miandad really deserve that position because he is only one who cares about pakistans’ cricket. Miandad, “lagay rahien poori qaum app ka saath hai”

Miandad’s main problem is that he is too honest for the chair he is in.

I don’t expect miracles from Mianded but what I am confident that if he remains in that position long enough he will lead a new team which has morals, and honesty to be called a true pakistani team.

It’s not what Miandad should do, it’s what he shouldn’t do. Learn from your predecessors. don’t do what they did. It didn’t work what they did or how they did. Miandad needs to do something different. Learn from SA and Australia, why are they so succesful? Pakistan has better talent then any of those country, someone needs to bring it up. I suggest Miandad should come to U S for a month and personally see how teams are run here and implement that.

from my point of view javed miandad is excellent cricketer. he knows well about the strategies of that game. but the thing is that what i understand from his past record he cant able to cope with pressures. that is a big responsibility as a director general operations. i dont think he has any management skills. only one think hopes me that he is a person ultimately sincere to pakistan just that he has the quality. i hope he raise the standard of cricket of pakistan.

Obviously, We have tried so many “so called” legends why not Javed Miandad? And for the record he was one of the successful captains. I do agree that his style is different from the others but one thing which we all can agree is that he is sincere to Pakistan Cricket. A bit emotional but sincere! Atleast he knows cricket… but hey people do have their opinions and can say whatever..As long we have players who are selfish and ego..No one can make pakistan cricket better even Miandad…I hope and will pray that he will succeed but it’s long shot!!

It seems we have high hopes in J. Miandad as a capable D.G operation of PCB. A person with his portfolio can manage his team effectively provided he runs the show without any internal and external interferance. Since our country is going through a tremendous changes in all phases of life this change will help gives PCB a direction of prosperity and help elevate the our national team to achieve international challenges.

I believe Miandad has been a most unfortunate individual as he never received the respect and honour that he deserved.

I never believed that Miandad ever failed in coaching, the team prospered and gave some scintillating performances under his coaching, it is some of the players and the PCB who may have had issues with him.

He should be given a free hand and a clear atmosphere so that he can do something for the country.

Also, comments about his personal life are out of line.

Good wishes to Pakistan and Miandad.
