BCB hits back @ Siddons

[Nadim]

Bangladesh Cricket Board heavily criticised former national coach Jamie Siddons for his disparaging comments and its president AHM Mustafa Kamal said he will discuss with the International Cricket Council whether he can make such comments after leaving the job.
‘Bangladesh must grow out of a culture of petty politics and indecision if it wishes to truly develop as a cricket nation. Everyone tends to know what needs to be done but it doesn’t seem to be happening, whether the money’s not there or they’re just not doing it, I’m not too sure,’ Siddons had told ESPN-Cricinfo on Thursday.
‘Siddons was with us for nearly four years and not for once did he say anything what he is saying now. I will discuss with the ICC whether he can make such comments after leaving the job,’ Kamal told New Age on Friday.
‘I even asked him to provide me with feedback so that we can take steps to take our cricket to a higher level but he did not respond,’ Kamal said.
‘Had he loved Bangladesh then he would have given us a guideline so that we can take the cricket further rather than speaking behind our back,’ Kamal said.
BCB media chairman Jalal Younus termed Siddons allegations as totally baseless and feels that his recent remarks only show that he has a narrow mind.
‘His allegations against the BCB are baseless,’ Jalal told New Age on Friday. ‘We did not expect it from him, it only showed the narrowness of his mind,’ said Jalal.
‘We are trying to improve our infrastructure and we don’t need his approval to do it,’ said Jalal.
Jalal said Siddons was removed because of his bad performance and not because of his outspokenness as the Australian coach thinks ‘he has lost the job for his mouth’.
Siddons’ contract was not renewed after the World Cup where which the tournament’s co-hosts failed to reach the quarter-finals.
‘He knew long before that his contract will not be renewed because of his performance and not because of his mouth,’ said Jalal.
‘I don’t think the national team had really made much of a progress under him as he claimed. We did not bring him so that we can score over 200 runs,’ he said.
‘We could score 200 runs even when Siddons was not there, so I think he was unable to perform to our expectation,’ said Jalal. 
Jalal said the former Australian batting coach, who took over the Bangladesh team in October 2007 from his compatriot Dav Whatmore, was a selfish man.
‘He did not teach anything to his assistant coach [Khaled Mahmud] who later resigned for not giving him enough scope,’ said Jalal.
‘That shows what mentality he used to carry,’ said Jalal.

Why we can't take any criticism, thats our problem. We do not know that criticism is not always bad thing. Man, we need to change our mindset before doing anything good in our beloved country.

I can't believe BCB chief will complain to ICC -- it shows how stupid Lotus Kamal is. People are laughing. Just ignore Siddons or take comments positively. Don't be defensive. Jalal proved himself he is not a qualified person for the post. This kind of behavior approves what Siddon said about them.

LOL, this is so sad that it's actually funny.

Murad look at it from our side. We will have difficulty finding a right coach.

It shows the mentality of our BCB. These guys are moron! Loitta needs to resign from the post. I am also critical of Khaled Mahmood Sujon for whining as a baby. He needs to be matured. One of the interviews published in CI, he showed his interest to be the national coach once Siddons leaves! That might have been backfired and a cold relationship might have been built between Siddon and Shujon. In one of the interviews in NTV, Shujon bragged about his popularity amongst cricket fans across the globe and challenged whether anyone knows Siddon as he is known in the world!

I brought the attention to Sujon as our Jalal Yunus mentioned that Sujon didn't receive any help from Siddons!

We all know politics rules our cricket and its not a hidden fact.

BTW what would have happened if Siddons said during his tenure at BCB.

which side true it's hard to tell? but doesn't matter, we need a real coach at the moment...not fighting with each other. I think both of guys not only wrong, our players are culprit too. so, drop this drama......find some real solutions.

[Fazal]

I love it.... I love it.

Right or wrong I liked the fact that BCB is fighting back, showing some backbone.

Siddon was right in some sense, so was BCB. On the other hand Siddon cannot wash his hand and blame to all others, so is BCB. To be honest they are both guilty party in some way.

BCB always" had" and will "have" hard time getting a coach. So nothing changes there., But now Siddon will also have hard time getting a job, even like a job like batting coach for AUS national team. It gives an impression that Siddon is bad-mouthing his ex-employer after the fact that he was sacked (in a way). In that interview, one thing was missing, i.e. what he had done wrong or could have done better.

Siddon opened the floodgate and the dirty laundry will start coming out from both end.

Lets the slug fight begin.....

when Siddons left we were #9. Our current gain to #8 courtesy of WI losing happened post Siddons.

So Siddons improved us and then sent us back or in other words in the last days of his coaching we were headed in the wrong direction.

This outsider cannot come and improve us, we have to improve ourselves. Siddons is not wrong with his assessment, and we all know that!

When he came we were at #9, agreed. But our points were around 45-48, so even if WI lost 15 points back then would not have made a difference. But we are now at 67 points, and a minor slip up by WI gives us #8.

You can say under Siddons we did not reach beyond #9, or are still at #8, but unlike earlier we are on the brink fringe of top 8 rather than in the outfield.

Definitely not an achievement of Siddons alone, all the players played a huge part as well.
