Lawson and Pakistan a good fit

In the Age, Peter Roebuck analyses Geoff Lawson's first few games as a national coach and decides that perhaps Lawson was just what Pakistan needed.

He did not have much to lose, a steady but peripheral media career and a tangential involvement in the game. Why not go for broke? From the Pakistan perspective, Lawson was the right choice. Proven candidates had not applied. At least he wanted the job and was prepared to look past current complications. Moreover, he was an outsider and came with a clean plate.
