Another inexperienced coach

What is about Pakistan and India that makes them select coaches with limited experience? First Geoff Lawson (check out his photo if you haven't already) for Pakistan, and now, it seems, Gary Kirsten for India. I don't understand it. It's a vital role, and yet they've gone for someone with only limited experience. Of course, it could be inspired, but it's a gamble and why take gambles when there are good coaches out there to select from?

It seems that the BCCI have only learnt half the lesson from the first round of selection for their national coach - they interviewed Kirsten without it being leaked, but with about a week to go until he was to be announced as coach, an insider - he obviously remains un-named - could keep his professionalism no longer, and had to prove just how in the know he was by telling the press. I hope he was paid well.
