how can u go to someone else's country and tell them to speak english better...and this was after pakistan had lost a match, so i guess he was answerable to the media. But it was fun to see how he tried to turn the tables around. good on the media for walking out.

[ucantcmehaha]

Yooo guys lawson got punked out by the pakis media troop,,lol,,he is a bloody dumb ass,,the freaking media walkedout and it s a shame for lawson

[KhalidRafiTeeVee]

To Be Honest...Lawson did the right thing

Its about time Pakistani Media learned some manners

[nbajwa65]

Well to be honest, Pakistani Media is far from being Pakistani and also same distance from being Journalists.Proper term to use is CIRCUS. And if a journalist has been assigned to attend a press conference by a English speaking coach, at least he should be speaking English which practically is our National Language.

Being a Pakistani, I feel...our media should be treated the way Lawson did.

[93aree]

goodness gracious, old man Lawson thinks he looks real smart here huh...asking the journalists to speak better or proper English was completely unfair the urdu speaking, punjabi, pashto, balochi equally love cricket here and it's highly likely that there must've journalists from regional newspapers / tv channels covering the press conference.

His actions are utterly ridiculous, he sounds ignorant and stupid and I am so happy that he went back to aussie-land, we don't need coaches like him.sheesh

[rahuldalwale]

Geoff you twat..you were Pakistan's coach where local people speak Urdu, Punjabi and Pashto language. And you come to the press conference and ask the local media to speak better English. This is height of ignorance and disrespect to local people and the country.

Good from Lawson.. 

[ibraheym]

hahaha i love jeff lawson , great man , i wish he becomes coach of Pakistani team again !

[roonronaldo]

I remember this match.

It was after an Asia Cup loss to Sri Lanka at home which meant that Pakistan was virtually out of the tournament.

And the media was likely to eat him up during the presser so he started this drama

Very inept coach.

Sincere guy who wanted good for Pak cricket but ineptness personified

@robelinda2 There was a translator sitting beside Lawson,and how can he dictate a press connference??what's a point to say that questions should make sense???Simple example of rudeness.Take a defeat on your chin not cry like a baby mr lawson,and than playing sucky tricks,a pathetic performance.
