Yep. They were described by Michael Vaughan yesterday as the most watchable test team ever.

Interesting thought.

I don't rate watchability if you're team can't win the big games/ championships etc.

This type of comment at the moment falls in the category of Geelong of the late 80's and early 90's, Netherlands soccer of 1970's, Brazil 1982; All great teams that were accorded much adulation for the way they played and what it joy it was to watch them play (apparently) but all 3 left the trophy cabinet maker of their choice in the dole queue.

Pakistan Test head coach Jason Gillespie is considering his options after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decided not to renew his assistant coach Tim Nielsen's contract for Pakistan's upcoming Test tour of South Africa.

Nielsen, who was appointed in August this year, officially designated as the "high-performance red-ball coach", had seen his contract run out; it was up for renewal after Pakistan's tour of Australia, and he had been waiting to hear about a decision on an extension. He told ESPNcricinfo he felt he was "making good progress" with the team and was fully committed to the Test series against South Africa and West Indies, but that the PCB had told him his services were no longer required.

It is understood that PCB did not inform Gillespie ahead of time he would no longer have his assistant coach by his side in South Africa, a decision that has left him extremely unimpressed. That he wasn't consulted beforehand appears to be the most significant catalyst for his irritation, and fits in with a wider pattern of Gillespie's roles and authority being steadily eroded over the last few months.
