DUBAI: Pakistan national team coach and Karachi Kings coach Mickey Arthur lost his cool when he thundered at his team during their match with Quetta Gladiators, on Thursday.

Karachi Kings continued their dismal run at the Pakistan Super League in its second edition, losing to Quetta Gladiators by six wickets. The latest loss meant Karachi Kings are at the lowest on the table, winning only two matches out of the six they have played so far. 

Poor bowling and fielding led to the team's loss on Thursday, as Ahmad Shahzad and Asad Shafiq hit the ball all over the park. Mickey Arthur, coach of Karachi Kings, made the most of a strategic timeout it seemed to vent some anger at the dismal performance of the boys.

In the video, Mickey Arthur can be seen dishing it out at some of the players. Sohail Khan, Keiron Pollard and Mohammad Amir seemed to bear the brunt of Arthur's fury.

Mickey Arthur has been known to exercise authority and take strict action against players. The infamous 'homework gate scandal' in which he refused to include a couple of top notch Australian cricketers, including Shane Watson in the team for refusing to complete a homework assignment, led to his dismissal as coach of the Australian cricket team a couple of years ago.
