The Whatmore factor
Pakistan have a set of ‘qualified coaches’ but still they show little signs of developing as a winning team on a more long-term basis
By Khalid Hussain

Dav Whatmore was hailed as a big catch by our cricket chiefs when he was roped in as Pakistan coach soon after the national team’s 3-0 Test whitewash against England, then the world’s number one team, last year. That clean sweep turned out to be the swansong for Mohsin Hasan Khan, a former Pakistan Test opener, as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chiefs decided that he wasn’t good enough for the job of national coach.

Instead of rewarding Mohsin over his team’s stunning success against England, PCB voted in favour of Whatmore, sounding fully confident that he would put the national team on the right track. The reason for their optimism was that Whatmore was a ‘qualified’ coach with loads of international experience.

One year on, it seems that the PCB move has backfired. Pakistan are currently in South Africa where the three-Test series appears to be moving towards a clean sweep. But unlike last year, Pakistan are on the receiving end.

Frankly, it would be unfair to compare the Pakistan-England series to the ongoing mismatch in South Africa. Against England, Mohsin’s boys had the luxury of tackling England on ‘home-like’ conditions in the United Arab Emirates.

Whatmore’s Pakistan, in contrast, are far from their favourite surroundings in South Africa where they are up against the world’s best team.

Nobody really expected Pakistan to just conquer the Proteas in their own backyard. But the thing is that everybody expected them to at least do better than what they’ve achieved in South Africa so far. Getting bowled out for their lowest Test total of 49 in the first Test in Johannesburg was downright humiliating. Losing the second Test in Cape Town from a seemingly winning position, too, was a sign that this Pakistani team is short on self-belief. This is where the Whatmore factor comes in. Twelve months, I believe, is ample time for an international coach to make his presence felt. So far, Whatmore has failed to do so. Unlike Mohsin, who managed to get the best out of the Pakistan team, Whatmore has been unable to really inspire his players. That’s Whatmore’s biggest failure in his tenure as Pakistan coach so far. During Mohsin’s stint, it was evident that Pakistan were gelling as a unit. Under Whatmore, things have changed a bit. You keep on hearing murmurs of dissent, conspiracies and disunity, in the Pakistani dressing room. That may all be untrue but such an atmosphere doesn’t augur well for Whatmore’s future as Pakistan coach. Already questions are being asked about his contribution to the team’s cause especially after a series of batting failures have forced Pakistan’s cricket chiefs to look for a full-time batting coach. The team already has full-time fielding and bowling coaches and once a batting consultant is appointed, there is bound to be more criticism directed at Whatmore. And if Pakistan are unable to bounce back in the forthcoming limited-overs series against South Africa, things would only get worse for the former Australian Test player.

The man is still known for masterminding Sri Lanka’s transformation from minnows to World Cup champions back in the nineties. When PCB chiefs preferred him over Mohsin, they believed he could do the same with the Pakistani team. Why has Whatmore, regarded among the most accomplished coaches in the cricket world, so far been unable to really make much of a difference? It’s probably because so far Whatmore has merely been a shadow of his former self. During his stint as Sri Lanka’s coach, Whatmore was a more assertive and motivated character who helped instill self-belief and confidence in his charges. As Pakistan’s coach, Whatmore has failed to do that. Today, it seems that he is just happy to collect his pay check at the end of the month. For Pakistan, that attitude won’t suffice. It’s still quite a young team which needs to develop into a winning unit on a long-term basis. With senior players like Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan already in the twilight years of their international career, Pakistan have to fast forward the process of grooming promising youngsters into world class cricketers. It is the responsibility of the coach to make sure that this transformation happens in the best possible manner. We need to improve in all departments of the game, especially batting. The team needs consistency. It needs a fully committed coach. Whatmore will have to do that job, sooner than later. Otherwise, it would be better if we started looking for someone better.

EPL title race all but over
By Khuldune Shahid

The English Premier League is Manchester United’s to lose. You don’t have to be a football pundit to realise that; the league table should suffice in illustrating that particular picture. United sit as pretty as they’ve ever sat atop the league table with a 12-point lead over their ‘noisy neighbours’ who’ve seemingly run out of hooters and trumpets this year around. In addition to these racket generating tools, Roberto Mancini’s side has also run out of other pivotal paraphernalia needed to win football matches and titles, like scoring goals for instance.

The biggest challenges facing a side looking to defend their title are complacency and a lack of desire. Overcoming these hurdles is primarily the job of the manager, who can instill hunger and desire in his troops if he radiates these characteristics himself. This is precisely why only two managers have been able to defend the English Premier League trophy since the EPL’s inception in 1992 — Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho.

Despite having arguably the finest squad, and certainly the biggest transfer chest in the country Mancini has never seemed like a man confident of a successful campaign. Admitting that your main rivals’ purchase of arguably the player of the season thus far has given them the edge in the title race, as early as December, smacks of lack of self-assurance and uncertainty. Granted Robin Van Persie has proved to be the crucial differential between the two Manchester clubs 26 games into the season, but Mancini still has a squad which edges out Ferguson’s in overall depth and quality.

The fact is that City haven’t turned up this year. Players like David Silva, Sergio Aguero, Yahya Toure, Vincent Kompany and Joe Hart have all had below par seasons, instead of raising their games and digging in for their title defence. Theoretically an early European exit could’ve helped them increase their focus on the EPL title defence, but for a squad that glitters with global stars, bowing down in the group stages in back-to-back Champions League campaigns turned out to be a massive confidence buster. It has now gone down to that stage where City need a miracle to retain the English crown, but the light at the end of the tunnel for the Citizens is that they needed one last year as well — and conjured it.

Holding an eight-point advantage with six games to go, United had virtually sealed the title according to most football pundits. Alex Ferguson’s side is renowned for their grit and determination at the business end of the season, and hence, for them to blow that big an advantage was unthinkable — and yet, the unthinkable happened. United surrendered eight points in a span of four games as defeats away to Wigan and Manchester City sandwiched what is quite possibly the biggest ‘booboo’ of the Ferguson era — the 4-4 draw with Everton at home after being 4-2 up with less than 10 minutes to go. That result meant that United went to the Etihad Stadium three points behind City and knowing that a defeat would see their local rivals supplant them from the summit of the table, which is precisely what happened. Both sides went on to win their remaining two games, with City sealing the title with virtually the last kick of the season, and the rest, as they say ever so often, is history.

United might have gift wrapped the title for their neighbours last year around, but expecting the current league leaders to repeat that unenviable feat would border on being delusional. There is a palpable contrast between last season’s United side and this season’s team, and while neither can be classified as “vintage” United, the current crop is as ruthless when it comes to grinding out results as any squad that Alex Ferguson has assembled in his time at Old Trafford.

When highlighting United’s capitulation last season, what we normally forget is that both sides blew what seemed like unassailable leads in the course of the previous season. United started off all guns blazing last season, then City overtook them with the ‘Six and the City’ mauling at Old Trafford, with United overturning the deficit after the turn of the year and then losing out on the last day of the season. Au contraire, this season United haven’t ever given the impression of slipping up, and barring an early season Chelsea onslaught, they’ve always looked like being the team to beat. Another factor going in United’s favour, as things stand, is the return to form of their veteran defenders Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra, coupled with the return to fitness of captain Nemanja Vidic, Johnny Evans’ impressive form and Phil Jones’ robust displays as a combative midfielder in big games. David De Gea also seems to be growing stronger as the season reaches its culmination, with Michael Carrick commandingly pulling the strings in midfield. Most importantly however, United now have a true talismanic figure in the attacking half — something they’ve been missing since Cristiano Ronaldo left for Madrid — in Robin Van Persie, whose 19 goals have seemingly turned the tide decisively in United’s favour.

Of the 12 remaining games, the ones that can give United a rough ride are Man City (H), Stoke (A), Chelsea (H), Arsenal (A) and West Brom (A). If United progress in the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup, then they could be distracted by a congested fixtures’ programme as well. However, if City are to pull off the unthinkable this year around again, and summon one of the greatest comebacks in the history of English league football, they’d pretty much have to win all of their remaining games. It seems too big a task for a side that has mustered a grand total of two points in their last three games.

Heading towards international ban?
By Alam Zeb Safi

The war between Pakistan Olympic Association (POA) and the government has entered an interesting stage. The decision of the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC) to skip the meeting of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on February 15 in the Swiss city of Lausanne shows that the government is determined to topple the POA chief Lt Gen (retd) Syed Arif Hasan, who in the eyes of the IPC and the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has lost his status following the May 8, 2012, Supreme Court’s decision. POA, on the other hand, has once again opted to try to hold a dialogue with the IPC in order to avoid IOC sanctions.

The IPC has not disclosed its stance what it would do if it was approached by the POA for the dialogue or so advised by the IOC? But sources say that there is no chance of any dialogue between the IPC and the POA.

Arif Hasan, although, has been seen stating repeatedly that the IOC would suspend Pakistan, but in reality he does not want the world body to take such an extreme step against the country.

Both the parties are playing their cards meticulously and are trying to give legal cover to all their actions they are taking and have taken so far.

The IOC’s press release it issued soon after its top officials’ meeting with Arif Hasan and IOC member in Pakistan Syed Shahid Ali at the world sports body’s headquarters reflects a soft stance on its (IOC) part. Its go-ahead to the IOC to hold a dialogue shows that it still wants to see the issue resolved through consensus among the key actors in Pakistan’s sports.

Although when the issue of implementation of the national sports policy took a huge turn following the apex court’s verdict last year, the IOC had shown reservations over a couple of clauses that could have undermined the fundamental rights of the national sports federations, on the tenure-restriction clause it had advised both the parties to sit together and resolve the issue amicably.

As the government does not accept Arif Hasan as the POA chief any longer, any reconciliation on the issue between the two parties looks extremely difficult.

The Lahore High Court in its judgment on October 23, 2012, advised the POA to hold their elections again for all the posts except that of the president. This gave strength to the government’s stance and they took the extreme step of holding the POA elections.

The IPC, taking into consideration all the legal intricacies, got a seven-member interim committee formed through sports federations.

The committee then constituted a three-member Election Commission comprising retired judges to hold the elections of the POA.

There are chances that the commission will hold the elections next month as efforts are being made to dispose of the matter as soon as possible keeping in view the likely dissolution of the assemblies on March 16.

Interestingly, the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) went farther when it issued letters to the national sports federations on February 15, stating that the annual and special grants will be given to those federations only who follow the national sports policy 2005.

Arif Hasan’s stance also needs to be elaborated. He is of the view that because the POA is not an affiliated body of the PSB, the apex court’s decision does not apply to it.

Moreover, the POA also accepts the LHC’s decision regarding the repeat of its elections for all its office-bearers except that of the president, but it says that it has the option to make an appeal in the Supreme Court against the LHC judgment.

When a parallel POA comes into existence, it will force the IOC to impose sanctions on Pakistan and no association in that case will be able to send its athletes abroad.

And only after the IOC sanctions could the war come to an end and the matter could be resolved as in that case even the federal government, which now does not have time to intervene, will be compelled to step in and resolve the issue.

The suspension could end Arif Hasan’s career as the POA chief because the government will not accept him in any post-suspension arrangement as he is ruling for the third time.

Sources say that IOC member in Pakistan Syed Shahid Ali, who was also present in the Lausanne meeting along with Arif Hasan, has briefed the world sports’ governing body in detail.

Sources claim that Shahid Ali has been trying to play a neutral role in the whole episode which has been damaging the careers of the athletes of the country.

Although both groups have their limitations and no side looks completely fair in its approach, they should remember that the international world has been branding us as the most uncivilised nation which wastes its precious time in useless exercises.

It would be better for both the parties to sit together and resolve the issue amicably through a constructive dialogue.

Even the sports policy that has caused so much bitterness needs a lot of improvement. It is the responsibility of the sports authorities to form such a policy and rules as could benefit the sportsmen, not those who run sports.

There is something rotten in the state of PCB!

By the time this piece, hopefully, sees the light of day the third and final Test match between Pakistan and South Africa at Centurion in Pretoria, will be well on its way, if not, as they say, “done and dusted”. But by the last part of the previous sentence I am being facetiously pessimistic which is totally unfair to both the outfits especially the Pakistanis. We must not forget that they bounced back in the second innings at the Wanderers and had the better of the Newlands Test except for a few hiccups in the beginning of both their innings, the second half of the fourth day and, of course, the finish. The result could have gone either way. That it went against the visitors is partly their misfortune and partly their fault. Fingers are being pointed, eyebrows raised and foreheads creased by frowns. Some may be justified but others are the outcome of emotional grief and outbursts which is understandable.

Before handing down outright condemnation “more in sorrow than in anger” we must pause for thought and consider the positives. Let us not follow Mark Anthony’s famous words “the evil that men do lives after them; the good is often interred with their bones...” Younis Khan and Asad Shafiq put on 219 which is the highest for a visiting team against South Africa in seven years — a remarkable achievement not to be summarily dismissed. It will take some doing and time to surpass this. Saeed Ajmal got a ten-wicket haul in the Test to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that he is the best spinner in the game today. And whether you agree or not Pakistan provided the first real challenge to the Numero Uno Test team this summer. Mohammad Irfan may not have claimed plenty of wickets but he showed in the side games and the Newlands Test that there is more to him than his imposing 85.5 inches height which makes him the tallest man in cricket’s entire history; he literally stands head and shoulders above the likes of Bruce Reid, Joel Garner, Curtly Ambrose, Chris Tremlett and Stephen Finn who stop at 80 inches, Tony Greig was 79 inches tall while Jacob Oram and Stuart Broad are a mere 78 inches from the ground!! All right come on be sporting, and give the ‘devils’ their due. It will be only fair to state that Pakistan improved in performance as the two Test matches progressed. That they ended up on the losing side was unfortunate.

The least said about the tour support staff, the coaches and others the better. The manager and analyst do a decent job. However, I am not so sure about the coaches — chief, bowling, fielding — and the medis, the physios, trainers. They seem to follow the standards set by Alfred Doolittle in Shaw’s Pygmalion “With a little bit of luck some one else’ll do the blinkin’ work...”.

Having said that, the bottom line remains, “there is something rotten in the state of Denmark” to quote Marcellus. It seems that there is a difference of opinion among the supremos of our cricket. It is widely acknowledged that some of the selections are made on recommendations, likes and dislikes.

Where did it all go wrong? To understand the entire scenario we should begin at the beginning. The itinerary was faulty from the very start. When touring uncharted territory there should be enough time and practice to get familiar with alien conditions. We, however, threw our inexperienced and young players too early at the deep end. The first Test began on January 25. Pakistan could have and should have arrived latest by January 10 and played a couple of four-day “side matches” before the first big one. Sandwiching the Cape Cobras tie between the 1st and 2nd Tests was a bad idea.

A Test squad of 12 or 13 should have been carved out of the touring party of 16, 17, 18 depending on the comings and goings of the players at the whims and fancies of the selectors and/or other powers that be. At the last count a total of 19 players had been sent to South Africa. The injured Taufiq Umar and Haris Sohail (if the youngster was carrying an injury from the Indian trip, as reported, why was he selected?) had to return owing to injury with the always ready and padded up Imran Farhat joining the party along with Rahat Ali and Tanvir Ahmad. If replacements were to be sent one, two or three of the Akmal brothers, the left-arm pace bowler Wahab Riaz, or Mohammad  Talha,  Asad Ali, the left-handed Ali Waqas, Umar Amin, Sharjeel Khan and Fawad Alam could have been considered. Currently the Pakistan squad has 17 players if my count is correct. A motley crew. We should have stuck to those 12 or even 13 for the three Tests barring forced changes for injuries to the players. Frequent chopping and changing in sides is not conducive to good performances and many a talent has been wasted in the past as a result of not being given confidence and as such enough chances. A cursory glance at the list of 210 or so cricketers who have donned the green golden starred cap for Pakistan in Tests will show that at least 25 percent of these are one or two Test ‘wonders’. Give the players a decent lease in the arena and let them sink or swim. The squad and its original composition need some thoughtful input from the experts. From the very outset it seemed that there was no unanimity among the selection gurus who are “all honourable men”, the tour management and the final authority — the Chairman.

An ideal touring part should be 7 batsmen 1 wicketkeeper 1 genuine all-rounder 4 pace bowlers and 2 spinners. We started with 16, withdrew 2, and sent in 3 more making a total of 17. The squad remained unbalanced with 6 pace bowlers — 3 untried, one over the hill, one off colour, one prone to injury. What easy meat for the hungry Proteas. The spinners included the best in the world (our saving grace) and one from the top drawer (but neglected). We took some but not enough lessons from the Wanderers’ defeat. We played Rahat in Wanderers when Irfan should have been the debutant; and in Newlands for some unknown reason (although a number of theories have been offered by the wags) we played Tanvir instead of Abdul Rehman and in the end paid dearly for the mistakes. If Peterson an ordinary run of the mill left arm spinner could spin from the rough Abdul Rehman would have caused havoc. Our batting remains brittle, with flashes of brilliance (Younis, Asad, Azhar and Misbah) but the opening stand remains woefully unreliable. Hafeez  the so called “Professor”, one felt was sparingly used at the bowling crease by the so called “Lion Hearted” (Sher Dil) captain Misbah, while Gul the “Gulldozer” (whatever that means) was off colour and only the “Magician” Ajmal waved his wand to baffle, bamboozle and bowl the ‘lliterate against spin’ South Africans. We lost the match when we surrendered 6 wickets for 22 runs within the space of a few overs. Coaches sitting at home tore their hair out!

We did not cash in on the mistakes Graeme Smith made in his 100th match as captain of South Africa (that is what is called persistent faith and confidence of the authorities in their choice of a young captain and he delivering diligently) particularly fielding after winning the toss. A gamble which paid off because of our debacle. But Amla, De Villiers, Peterson, Philander and a couple of others batted well. The bowlers were lethal and made to look even more menacing as our top and lower middle order batting collapsed into a heap. The change of the ball in the 60th over of the second innings worked for South Africa as the hard and well seamed ball did some of the work for them. By the way, give a thought to the fact that the South Africans may be more adept at choosing the ball — perhaps they look for a slightly more raised seam and our tour management may have picked balls with slightly flattened seams. Nothing wrong here; all kosher. Not a complaint. Merely an observation.

This piece cannot end without an afterword for the UDRS. Good that it was in use. Bad because hot spot was not spot on. Also the ICC must eliminate ‘umpire’s call’ as it is unfair and confusing. What is this 50% or less and more than 50%. It is either disturbing the stumps or missing them. Come on ICC and for a change boldly give a verdict rather than humming and hawing.

Leading Test prospects
By Mushfiq Ahmad

Adnan Akmal has pressed his claim to be back in the national Test squad by scoring 646 runs at an average of 80 in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. Adnan, who led Lahore Ravi in the domestic tournament, hit two centuries and five fifties.

He was the fourth highest scorer in the tournament at the end of the Super Eight stage. His batting statistics become very important at a time when Sarfaraz Ahmad’s batting performance in the first two Test matches against South Africa is kept in mind.

Sarfaraz was included in the Test squad at the expense of Adnan, although the latter’s performance in wicket-keeping as well as batting had been satisfactory in the longest format of the game. Before being dropped, Adnan had played 16 Test matches for Pakistan, and scored 440 runs at a decent average of 27.

There is no doubt that Sarfaraz is talented. He deserves chances to represent Pakistan. But he failed to justify his place in the team in the first two Tests against South Africa. His batting was far from impressive.

Sarfaraz is much younger and much less experienced than Adnan. The selectors should have let him gain more experience before inducting him in the Test side. He has done well in One-day Internationals; he should be given chances in that format of the game.

Another one who has made a case for a comeback in the Test side is Umar Amin who represented Rawalpindi in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy and Port Qasim Authority in the President’s Trophy.

He scored 554 runs in Quaid Trophy at an average of 46, scoring one century and four fifties. He had earlier amassed 767 runs in the President’s Trophy at an average of 45, with four fifties and one hundred, which was actually a very big double hundred.

He played four Tests for Pakistan in the summer of 2010 in England — two against Australia, which was Pakistan’s home series, and two against the hosts later. He failed to impress there, managing only 99 runs in eight innings with the highest score of 33. Azhar Ali, who made his debut along with Umar, has gone on to play much more international cricket and establish himself in the middle order of Pakistan.

But now if Umar gets a chance to represent Pakistan at the highest level, he can be expected to put up a better show since he has played much more first class cricket in these years and must have learnt a lot to be able to survive at the top level.

Now that Nasir Jamshed has failed to prove himself a good Test batsman — he managed just 51 runs in four innings against South Africa — his position can be given to Umar, also a left-hander.

Similar is the case of Zulfiqar Babar, the left-arm spinner who went to India recently with the national team but came back without playing a match. He has been excellent in this domestic season. He topped the bowling chart in the President’s Trophy in which he played for WAPDA. He took 62 wickets in just nine matches. He is also going well in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, although he is representing a lowly Multan side.

This left-arm spinner deserves to play for Pakistan despite the fact that he is now 34 years old. He has been included in the squad for T20, but there are only two T20 matches in the tour to South Africa. It would be sheer injustice if he was not given more chances. Someone who has beaten every other bowler in Pakistan in a particular season should be given more opportunities, particularly in ODI and Test cricket.

ICC: International or ‘Indian’ Cricket Council?
By Muhammad Asif Khan

To run a business adequately the existence of a competent governing body is a must, but only competence would be of no use if the system was not followed in true spirit. This universal rule also applies to the bodies responsible for running the affairs of sports.

International Cricket Council (ICC) is the supreme authority which, with the help of its member cricket boards, works for the betterment of the game worldwide. By definition, a system is a set of components working in coordination to perform a certain job. In the case of cricket the ICC is the body running the system and the member cricket boards are its components.

Over the years, with the harmonious work of the components the ICC has been able to introduce a lot of innovations to the sport and transform it into a crowd-pulling spectacle.

But in recent times this system seems to have been jolted. Not so far ago the ICC introduced the Umpires Decision Review System (UDRS) to minimise the element of error, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been unwilling to adopt the UDRS. The BCCI does not consider the UDRS as an immaculate methodology.

What can the ICC do in this situation? It cannot put its foot down the way FIFA did on the implementation of the goal-line technology in football.

Before moving further, the role of FIFA, rather the difference between the mechanisms of ICC and FIFA, needs to be understood.

We can’t compare the two governing bodies because FIFA is a federation which has the power to impose its decision on its affiliated units, but the ICC being a council could not go all the way against a member.

It is fine if India does not like the UDRS, but what is the ICC doing with the members who are willing to implement the review system? As per the existing regulations, if two boards are playing a bilateral series then the expense for the UDRS system would be their responsibility, but in an ICC sponsored event, this will be the responsibility of the ICC. Here a question arises: wasn’t the 2011 ODI World Cup an ICC event? Then why was the equipment necessary for the UDRS not installed there? The answer is: BCCI refused to have it.

Okay, if the BCCI has a right  to object then why can’t other cricket boards enjoy the same liberty in other matters? When the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) says that they could not entirely implement the ICC directives regarding a democratically elected Cricket Board then why is the PCB given a cold shoulder by the ICC?

This is not the only case. In the recently-concluded women World Cup in India, the ICC acted as a spectator only. India said matches of Pakistan would be held in Mumbai or Cuttack or elsewhere, the ICC said okay. India accommodated Pakistan’s team at a stadium, which was indeed against ICC’s regulations but again the ICC kept mum. After the completion of the mega event the ICC in fact released an official statement to pay tribute to BCCI and the cricket authorities of the Indian state of Orissa, which includes Cuttack, for holding the matches smoothly.

This partial behaviour of the ICC puzzles the followers, who wonder who is actually calling the shots in the world of cricket.

If the BCCI is strong, then it also means that the ICC is weak.

Since the BCCI has set a precedent of accommodating a national cricket team at a stadium during the ICC World Cup then why can’t Pakistan be given the same liberty to host any of the teams with the same condition? Can the ICC or the BCCI allow PCB to do this?
