Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2007
Yes, Kaneria's fielding has been school-boyish really....
...and talking about fielding , Shoaib Akhtar simply refuses to chase the ball as soon as it goes past him. I know he is not fit and all....but this attitude is rare at this level of the game. I guess his tear-away 4-overs fast bowling spells gives him the license to escape with anything in other aspects of the game. Akhtar should be in the pavillion and not on the field if he is not fit.
I am just so disappointed with this selection and with this team. Shoaib Akhtar has become a major liability. Akhtar, in a fully-fit match condition, rarely stays on the field for half a day. He is just so broken down now, it is bringing down the morale of an entire team. The likes of Kaneria with his God awful fielding and that third-class Sami, what on earth happened all of a sudden?
Disappointed with Dravid's decision today. Just terrible state of affairs, overall.
