SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates, (CMC) — Former Pakistan speedster, Waqar Younis, believes the dramatic sacking of West In

dies Head Coach Phil Simmons on the eve of the ongoing tour, has had a negative impact on the Caribbean side’s performance.

West Indies looked a shadow of themselves in the Twenty20 International series and were stunned 3-0 by Pakistan, and also suffered a heavy 111-run defeat in the opening One-Day International of the three-match series here last Friday.

And Waqar, who took 373 wickets in 87 Tests, said the uncharacteristically poor showing, especially in the T20s, was a sign that Simmons’ axing, and that of inspirational Captain Darren Sammy, had left the side in disarray.

Rubbish, coaches get fired from teams time and again!

In reply to XDFIX How long was he on the job??? Wasn't there a suspension OF sorts just.months prior?

It seems you two can't handle the truth.

Where is Jacksprat?

The funny thing is that the Pakistan Cricket board is perhaps 10 times worse than the WICB.

And Waqar look at your own history:

Captains fall and coaches sacked – this is the history of Pakistan: nothing changes

On the eve of the playoffs?

Total hogwash
..Like I said before coaches get fired and it comes with the territory..
You are right but the lackeys here will give you all type of outlandish garbage to justify their position.

I was actually shocked at the WI losing (they're a champion team) and here me sit in me lil corner busting me brains to find out why because there must be be a reason

Guess Waqar nailed it ..... kudos!!
