Woolmer was shrewd & selfish, says Razzaq

Dubai: Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq has criticised their late coach Bob Woolmer, saying he was only interested in keeping his job and his tenure made no difference to the team.

Razzaq, who missed the World Cup due to a injury, said he knew that it was not right to pass adverse remarks on dead person but he had no regret to state the truth although it may sound unkind, according to a newspaper report. "In my opinion Bob was a very shrewd operator. He was a coach just by nature of his job. Bob knew how to spend his time. For me, he must surely be one of the cleverest Britishers." "Bob knew the art of how to get his way out. His main objective was to earn money and nothing else. His being coach made no difference to the team," he said.

Razzaq was also critical of 2003 national team coach, South African Richard Pybus, under whom Pakistan had performed poorly in the last World Cup.

Thats shocking! Wonder if it is true ot not??

i dont know how true all these words r ... cuz razzaq hardly talks , and i doubt that all such words were from razzaq's mouth, media can exaggerate a bit! ... and he is entitled to his opinion, on how he thought bob was as a coach.. and wid all due respect to woolmer, i must say, that bob was capable of giving a lot more to pak cricket than he really did... he really didnt bring out the hidden talent of the pak team...as a coach, i thoink he cud of done a lot more.

Its not true and i tottaly agree with mini2390 becuase he doesnt talk too much + he is so respectful to every one then why would he do that???? 😕

tfs!!!
Thiss is a bit shocking to me....coz i had noticed tht shoaib akhtar and razaak weren't present at his memorial...i do understand his point of view coz brithishers are clever anyway but i still dont belive that he was just making money by coaching the team... pak team had performed really well under his coaching infact the team started to play consistently until WI tour to pak...

wow!! i really don't know what to say! 😕

yeah i donno..i thought he was so good with our players..but den y would razzaq say dat.. 😕 ????

Hmm..Media may have twisted it

I dont think razzaq said that...coz as u ppl said, he doesnt speak alot....an introvert!And he cant say anything lyk that! I didnt see this anywhere else! 😕😕
If at all Razzaq said this, then I think he's gone nuts!waise I dont believe this!

well if he have said dat..i dont understand y...cze i though under the woolmer pakistan was a very united team..y would he say dat... 😕
