Now Afridi Sahib wants a batting coach. That's OK. I think he should now demand coaches for fielding-for on side, off side, slips (one for each slip), leg side and all other fielding points and above all for wicket keeping. Also for batting, there should be coaches to coach on how to stop a spin ball, fast ball and again which balls to be attended and which to be left, how to bat towards on side or off side etc.
In short, more coaches than the players. He is proud to tell us that he made the team 'united'. He has made no ihsan. What else a captain is required to do? But he laments the untimely retirement of Shoaib Akhtar, the lame duck and also needs Kamran Akmal, happen what may. If these are his feelings, the cricket ka Allah hi hafiz hai.
We also need coaches to coach our batsmen how to face left and right-hand bowlers and also how to face bowlers bowling round the wicket.
Actually, he specially needs a coach to tell him when to hit on full toss balls or when to hit for sixes and fours and when to take singles. Had he taken singles in the semi-final and provided chance to Misbah, who had already set in on the wicket, we would have won the match. If he would have done so, all the mistakes of dropping catches and mis-fielding would have been washed away.
