Getting fired by PCB is no big deal but keeping his rep intact to get rehired is interesting.

[Night_wolf]

he was coach of the year in 2009,an award given by SA

[Crickbang]

Developed Mark Boucher and AB De Villiars.
Called the PCB Chairman "Bumbling old idiot" (Buyers Beware!! Lotus) back in 2001.

[Roni_uk]

Am I correct reading that he had never played any international matches?

I had a good laugh! Seems like they spend so much time in toilets, and firing-hiring coaches

Does it matter when the guy is developing international cricketers for decades.

[playmaker]

I hope he is more successful than any of the coaches we have had

if he becomes the coach that is

[Antora]

Seems like a good coach

[Sohel]

Unless Loitta-Tutla-Lipu back off and let him do his job the way he wants to, I see him resigning after a couple of tours. Interesting times ahead for our cricket. All aboard the Pybus for now.

[Naimul_Hd]

Take that PCB. If you can take our Ex then our Loitta can take your Ex.

Here is my take

Positives
1. International coaching experience at the highest level

Negatives
1. Some players found him boring and nonsensical for including yoga in the training
2. "bumbling idiot" statement
3. Doesn't seem to stay on one job for too long
4. Nothing of note as a cricketer

[BD Rox]

From where on Earth do BCB gets news of this folks?

পাইবাসের সবুজ সংকেত পেলো বিসিবি

---

সিনিয়র স্পোর্টস করেসপন্ডেন্ট
বাংলানিউজটোয়েন্ট� �ফোর.কম


ঢাকা: বাংলাদেশ জাতীয় ক্রিকেট দলের কোচ হতে সবুজ সংকেত দিয়েছেন ব্রিটিশ ক্রিকেটার রিচার্ড পাইবাস। এখন শুধুই চূড়ান্ত হ্যাঁ বলার অপেক্ষা।

শুক্রবার বাংলাদেশ ক্রিকেট বোর্ড (বিসিবি)’র কর্মকর্তাদের সঙ্গে বৈঠকের পর পাইবাস বাংলানিউজকে বলেন, ‘সবকিছু ইতিবাচক মনে হচ্ছে। মূলত সভাপতি ও বোর্ড কর্মকর্তাদের সঙ্গে কথা বলতেই এসেছি। সরাসরি আলোচনা করলে সবকিছুই পরিস্কার হয়। আর সাক্ষাৎকারই আমার সফরের মূল্ উদ্দেশে নয়; আনুষঙ্গীক বিষয়গুলো পরখ করাও জরুরী। দেশে ফিরে পরিবারের সঙ্গে আলোচনার পর চূড়ান্ত সিদ্ধান্ত নেবো।’

বাংলাদেশের ক্রিকেটারদের প্রশংসা করে পাইবাস বলেন, ‘প্রতিভাবান ক্রিকেটারের অভাব নেই। এসব ক্রিকেটারদের নিয়ে কাজ করা দারুণ ব্যাপার। বর্তমান সময়ে ভালো খেলছে বাংলাদেশ। এছাড়া বিশ্বমানের স্টেডিয়ামের পাশাপাশি অন্যান্য সুযোগ সুবিধাও আছে এখানে।’

প্রথমবার এলেও বাংলাদেশ সম্পর্কে আগেই অনেক কিছু জেনেছেন পাইবাস। বলেন, ‘এডি বারলো আমার বন্ধু ছিলো। ও এখন বেঁচে নেই। এডির মুখে সবসময়ই বাংলাদেশের প্রশংসা শুনেছি। আর সপ্তাহখানেক আগে এডির স্ত্রী কেলির সঙ্গে কথা হয়েছে। তিনিও বাংলাদেশের মানুষ ও পরিবেশ সম্পর্কে ভূয়সী প্রশংসা করেছেন।’

বিসিবি’র সভাপতি মোস্তফা কামাল বাংলানিউজকে জানান, পাইবাস হ্যাঁ বললে তিন বছরের জন্য চুক্তি করা হবে।

পাকিস্তানের সাবেক এই কোচ বিসিবির সংক্ষিপ্ত তালিকায় ছিলেন। বৃহস্পতিবার রাত সাড়ে ৮টায় ঢাকা আসেন সাক্ষাৎকারে অংশ নিতে।

বিসিবির সংক্ষিপ্ত তালিকায় থাকা অন্য দুইজন ছিলেন মিক নিউয়েল এবং নিউজিল্যান্ডের সাবেক ব্যাটসম্যান মার্ক গ্রেটব্যাচ।

কোচের সংক্ষিপ্ত তালিকা করার সময় অত্যন্ত গোপনীয়তা রক্ষা করা হলেও পাইবাসের ঢাকায় আসার খবর প্রকাশ পেয়ে যায় বিসিবির কর্মকর্তাদের মাধ্যমেই।

Kamal prefers Pybus as coach

http://cricket.bdnews24.com/details....id=224357&hb=4

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President AHM Mustafa Kamal prefers Richard Pybus to be the next Bangladesh coach.

"Pybus is a tested coach. Well-wishers had suggested earlier for appointing Pybus as the new coach of our cricket team. He has arrived and we had discussions over the issue," Kamal told journalists at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Friday.

The former Pakistan coach has been shortlisted by the board as a candidate to coach the national team and was to be interviewed on Friday. The board is also set to interview two other candidates later - Nottinghamshire director of cricket Mick Newell and former New Zealand batsman and coach Mark Greatbatch.

"He (Pybus) wants to know about our cricket and its infrastructure. He also wants to have an idea about issues relating to our team management, cricket board and advantages and disadvantages of cricket," Kamal added.

Kamal said Pybus will inform the board about his decision after consulting his family after he reaches home. Pybus' family has already been invited to pay a visit to Bangladesh, Kamal added.

"We don't have any specific target based on time and event. But Pybus has a specific target for the team besides having a specific target fixed for players of the team," said Kamal.

Kamal added the BCB decided to strike a long-term contract with the former Pakistan coach.

The new coach would be responsible for the team until the next Cricket World Cup. Kamal also hinted that the contract may be extended, if necessary.

He also said some senior cricketers may be introduced to Pybus in the evening on Friday.

Pybus, who arrived on Thursday, visited the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Friday. He has been satisfied after inspecting the stadium and the National Cricket Academy.

Born and raised in the north-east of England, Pybus has also expressed his eagerness to take over Bangladesh team and contribute to the development of cricket.

"I want to contribute to the development of the country's cricket. I think cricketers of this country are hungry for victory," said Pybus.

"Earlier, late Eddie Barlow had been a coach of Bangladesh cricket team. I have talked with his wife Kelly last week. She inspired me to take over the new responsibility. Now everything depends on the discussions with BCB," he added.

Pybus, who took up coaching in his mid-twenties, was appointed Pakistan coach for their 1999 World Cup campaign while at Border, before returning to the South African provincial side. He coached Pakistan again until the 2003 World Cup and had stints with Titans and Cape Cobras (South Africa), and Middlesex. He was with Cobras until March 2012 and was also linked to the South Africa job last year.

Just found the above article very interesting. He is very picky it seems. Went to the academy and checked all the cricketing infrasturcture.

What is also eye-cacthing is he said he has fixed goals for the team and also for spwcific players of th team. Eager to know what they are.

What i dont get is if BCB wants Pybus, then why still have they scheduled the interview with Newell and Greatbatch? If the deal is done under table, then why the extra effort?

Regards.

[zinatf]

hmm...let's hope BCB interviews the other two coach well before getting into a conclusion
