I guess the only disappointment I have out of the whole lot is that therewere some people I really trusted who ultimately didn’t follow through. I’mnot talking about the hierarchy, I’m talking about people on the cricketcommittee that I did trust who sort of said one thing and ultimately didanother. So that was the disappointing aspect of it.

Despite the differences, Arthur added that he believes Misbah will do wellas Pakistan coach and has a lot of potential.
Those were guys I endorsed and guys I really enjoyed. As I say, they had ajob to do and they decided it was in the best interests of Pakistan cricketto go with a fresh set of eyes. And it just happened to be that Misbah wason the committee that didn’t renew our contracts and becomes thisheir-apparent. Ultimately Misbah will do a good job, Misbah is a good guyand Pakistan cricket made their decision. I was disappointed because Iloved every second of that job.
