If I am not mistaken, the current coaching staff took over in June 2018 and results have not been up to scratch. Of course there are other factors but judging from execution in the games, sometimes it seems the team plays without a clear plan or approach. For example, as recent as yesterday, the bowlers just seemed to be throwing it and hoping for the best.
All three main coaches honestly were not great during their playing days and I do not think they are good enough in terms of strategy and game plan. At best they are just trainers to me were Stuey can just throw a 100 balls to batsmen in the nets, but when it comes to how they strategize on how to approach a game, a match situation I do not see this being translated onto the field of play and the same can be said about the bowling department.
Are there any standards to which they have to live up to as coaches and who do they report to? It always seems as though it is business as usual, no pre or post match conferences where they face tough questions. This is not good for the development of the team. As it stands, the coaching staff has not been good enough and their CVs are not inspiring.
It is a big 2 to 3 years for us and we need the right people in charge. There has to be good coaches to nurture these youngsters and remove this culture of just showing up losing and no visible improvements. Cricket coaches need to have a very strong cricket brain and we are lacking very much there. They have lost enough and they must go. If Raza can go out in 3 consecutive TEST innings trying to hit a six, it shows a lack of accountability which further indicates how useless the coaches are to the players also.

Raza was still the better bowler in the Nambia series but he choose to exclude that.

If anything the board, admin and coaches should be on performance based contracts. 😂
They're actually on one but don't realise it. We're in deep s**t after 2027, but that's too far in the distance for them to compute. The threat has to be today for it to register.
I'm of the view that when international players take to the field they're giving of their best 99% of the time. If they don't have the tools to deliver then they lack the ability and/or the necessary work has not been done beforehand and in our case its both for most of the players.
The hard yards can't be achieved a week before a series either, that's one of the main problems. These guys can go weeks of being left to their own devices and being responsible for their own fitness and training. Which other board would tolerate some of our players long absences from training and domestic and club games?
They know they're either being protected or there's no- one else to replace them.
These ad hoc local games just prove that we are in disarray as well. They've dreamt up North vs South, then swapped players around during it. They're saying our domestic standard is shite so let's have some impromptu games supposedly pitting strength against strength, but then leave out better players, sometimes including them later. It's a cluster f**k. That North South thing are essentially trials games with Southerners and Northerners being subjected to major identity crises. Then they have Vigne Cup, but decide we now need NPL where they invent a couple of new teams and have to poach good players from existing teams 😂. That really stinks all by itself. Then they throw some extra T20's and T10's into the mix as well. Theyll stop any one of these competions at a moment's notice as well. Clearly it's hugely better than nothing, but the reality is that is shambolic organization. We need structured annual competitions that develop history and we cant have guys chopping and changing because it almost makes them meaningless games, basically it makes them all individual trials games for national selection.
It ticks a box of more cricket being played, big box, and I'm not knocking that, but it can be done way way better.
In our environment any national player that doesn't want to play club cricket should f**k right off as well. If you're playing club cricket begrudgingly then don't play at all.

Mukuhlani with a very public criticism of Sikandar Raza and 'other senior players'. Also if you read down some of the replies he engages in conversation with someone and says he wants players to sign performance based contracts.
Protect the coach at all costs and publicly criticise the non black players - of course!!!! 😂
I made some nasty comments about him twitter, and he blocked me immediately 😂

Asians here will decide who started it and who is the real awful human being is. In Asia that word is considerd as worst and very much in racist line. If Africans cross the lines, we asians will definately hit back and hit that spot ...Respect comes with respect and fire will be always played with fire, no matter wheather he is American, Eurpoean or an African. If someone starts...he should be ready to get payback

Nahh I won’t let it be when some random guy comes onto an African forum and starts telling people they are ‘black apes’ that need to ‘go and live in a forest’ ffs.
That’s not on, doesn’t matter that we are actually white.
Completely unacceptable, f**k off.

What the f**k are you even talking about? if you could actually read English properly, you'd see that he didn't even call you anything. It was a metaphor. he didn't say you are a pig ffs. This is the problem with people who can't speak English properly.
He didn't call you anything. Replying with 'you f***ing black ape, go and live in a forest' is absolutely despicable and just about sums you up. Disgusting. I had absolutely no respect for you whatsoever previously but somehow you've managed to actually look like even more of a c**t than ever before.

Highly educated English PHD Scholar keep that metaphor in your f***ed ass. He uttered that racial word against an asian and should get pay back. I never had respect for you. Dickhead dont try to give make up. Racist line have been crossed and now will be hit on evey instances. What a terrible way of dealing one's views.If you can't counter them, hit them with racial lines. Too many attacks happened this was the worst which i got and never expected african forum crossing racial lines and hitting asian with that word.
