Gillespie (tests) and Kirsten (white ball) are new Pak coaches

[Sooda]

As long as their work Is not interfered with, this is a great move and in Gillespie especially the kind of coach India should have got. Good that it is two separate regimes, again something india should be doing

 

Especially with JG being a paceman, could be very good for Pak cricket.

 

Can't help but hope they screw it up.

Wow, PCB did this? 

[AuxiliA]

Gillespie is a great coach for the pacers. Ishant Sharma praised him a lot for his revival in test cricket after his county stint under Gillespie.

[Norman]

Good for them.

 

Meanwhile our chewtiyas have introduced queue system for the Indian Head coach job too that's only reserved for meek losers like Dravid and Laxman with outdated mentalities.

PCB is extremely efficient when it comes to appointments...  A cash stripped organization in a poor economy making best use of its resources

 

Dravid Mhammbru Rathore are costliest coaching staff in the word

Gillespie will struggle.  Kirsten got it at a fortuitous time.  PAK will make semis in this format .

Pak has gone to finals and semis the last two times so going to semis is hardly an achievement 

[Adamant]

Gillespie can work magic with Shaheen, Shaheen is taller than Ishant and as fast as he was post 2015, if Shaheen can get to Ishant Sharma 2016 level that will help Pakistan in away matches

That's why it is fortuitous that he got the gig now.  Good chance of lasting until 2027.

 

Had he got it before the 2023 World Cup, he wouldn't have lasted a year.

There are hardly around 8 main teams in cricket, out of that in any tournament only around 4-5 are in form. So reaching semis is not any achievement in cricket, it's not like football where so many good teams are there.

Hope Pakistani crush Indian team as PCB is doing a great job in ciaches selection as compared to oathetic BCCI

[Rightarmfast]

Gillespie is a damn good coach. I find it sad that Indian management did not have the gumption to get him onboard. He can transform the Pakistani bowlers. 

I dont know what Mcgrath has done for MRF foundation, but I am biased towards Gillespie as being a better coach than Mcgrath.

There are no free lunches. 

No organization can be so amateurish to pay a professional without defined KRA's. Whether online or in person, GIllespie will have to justify his role through numbers.
