Fire the fielding coach!!!

Enough is enough!!! Fire the damn fielding coach. This guy is good for nothing. Beg Fountain to come back. Get an actual keeper in the team. Arrggghhh

Gowza · #2 December 19, 2011, 11:55 PM

yes horrible fielding, clearly the training they're doing in that department isn't working, they were much better before. and i agree get a proper keeper into the team, dhiman has been performing for the last few years not just with the gloves but also with the bat.

MarufH · #3 December 19, 2011, 11:57 PM

There are three options selectors should consider.

1. Dhiman
2. Jahurul
3. Amanul

Any one of them will do better job than Mushy. He should concentrate on batting and captaincy.

We are currently worse than pre-Fountain "era."

RazabQ · #5 December 20, 2011, 12:00 AM

Signed. Get rid of this coach. Either that or we have picked up a bunch of donkeys in Nazim & Robiul.

I am all for witch hunts, but the catches being dropped can't be blamed on the coach. These are absolute sitters, they are getting in the right positions and the technique looks right, but then dropping it(positioning and technique if faulty the coach can be blamed for).

This just looks like we have players who are afraid of catching the ball - maybe someone needs to tell them it's a laddoo or something, and then the fat bastards will will gobble it up, instead of dropping it.

MarufH · #8 December 20, 2011, 12:05 AM

^ either that or our captain is failing to inspire the team. Wait... he could only inspire if he didn't drop 5 catches every much. SMFH!

roman · #9 December 20, 2011, 12:17 AM

He is Law's friend and thats what made him our fielding coach. You might have to fire Law if you want to replace current fielding coach..

MarufH · #10 December 20, 2011, 12:19 AM

Not like he is Gary or something. Don't care.. Law hasn't done anything extraordinary.

Thiki bolsen.

reyme · #14 December 20, 2011, 12:33 AM

True. You dont even need a fielding coach, you can probably do better without a coach for what is going on now. Even our own Salahuddin was much better. When you dont have much control over the team things fall a part easily. The team looked very spirited under Julien, so yes, right coaching indeed makes a difference.

FagunerAgun · #15 December 20, 2011, 12:38 AM

Fielding has become a mockery. Shame on BCB and the Fielding Coach - this coach is a liability.

Because we are married to Australia for our coaching personnel.

F6_Turbo · #17 December 20, 2011, 12:54 AM

our fielding woes this test

Mushfiq: easy stumping chance -Taufeeq Umar
Nazimuddin: absolute sitter - Taufeeq Umar
Nasir: didn't quite get under the ball - Younis Khan
Nafees: potential chance, but since he didn't touch the ball, it doesn't count as a dropped catch - Taufeeq Umar AGAIN
Robiul: simple catch - Misbah
Mahmudullah: not THAT easy - Asad Shafiq

6 chances in one innings - you can't compete in test cricket with this sort of fielding effort.

Its basically the presence of mind.
You gotta be right there in the field, both physically and mentally.
Seems like our fielders are waiting for things to happen rather than trying to make things happen.

The urgency has to come from within. You gotta be switched on from the very first ball, as it was evident in Nazim's case post lunch yesterday.

Coaches can teach you technique and tell you all these, but still, its upto the individuals to be self motivated enough to be out there and be alert and ready for action.

Unfortunately, that hasn't happen yet.

don't blame the coach its no use if the players are fielding properly

WarWolf · #20 December 20, 2011, 02:02 AM

There are two reasons for dropping the quality of fielding.

1. Fielding coach is clueless. He clearly doesn't have any idea what to do.
2. The same reason our top order is failing. Unfortunately the close in fielders are top order batsmen. It takes the same quality to be a good top order batsman and a good close in fielder. That simple quality is called "patience". Lack of longer version matches failed to develop patience in top order batsmen and the close in fielders. Result is crappy performance in both roles.

LBW103 · #21 December 20, 2011, 02:34 AM

I think it is unfair to start blaming King Stuart for all the woes in BD cricket. He has only been in the role 6 months and barely knows the players. As for Jason Swift, yes he might be Australian but look at the tremendous success we have had with Australian coaches.

Swift is learning as he goes and give the guy a chance. He is not a high profile coach or has any serious quality coaching behind him of note so we should give him two years or so to get the players catching correctly. He has not had to actually teach people before who cannot field correctly.

I am starting to get fed up with impatient fans who don't realise that the Australian coaches need time to get adjusted to BD. Give them a break guys please. Australian super trio of King Stuart, Swift and Jurgensen know exactly what they are doing.

you are being more annoying now. if ordinary members had the power to ban someone collectively, you would be banned for long time.

Yes but you cannot blame the coach for that. It's not his job to teach them the basics.

My suggestion is we play against the associates so we can learn to catch them first, but if we drop catches against them, it isn't so important. I fully back the coaching staff on this and feel people are being unfairly harsh on the coaches who are finding it hard away from home and in a foreign country. They don't see home for weeks on end.

It's unfair to scrutinise what coaches are doing because they are simply observing. Let's give them the full 2 years before we comment.
