Re: 2nd Test Match|Pakistan vs Sri Lanka|At|Gadaffi Stadium|Lahore|March 1-5
So my arguements on Kamran Akaml still stands 
59.4 Danish Kaneria to Samaraweera, 1 run, dropped, Kamran this time, outside off, stretches forward and gets the edge, Kamran puts it down.
Easy, regulation catch missed by Akmal. I was watching the match when he dropped this and I just wanted to pound something extremely hard.
Akmal dropped Samaraweera on 60 something…now he’s at 133…and probably will go onto make a double hundred again…and Pakistan will be in the same position like they were in the last game.
Now I dont give a frikkin damn if the wicket keeper cant score 100’s…but these kind of regulation catches NEED to be taken and these catches go on to become the deciding factor between trying to win a match or trying to save a match. Had that catch been taken…things could have been very different. Akmal has been doing this for more than 2 years now and Kaneria has been hit the hardest by it in tests and Afridi in ODI’s. You just CANNOT keep defending him by bringing up his once in a blue moon batting heroics.
Now he will come in the 2nd innings and score a quickfire 100 and we will all be happy. No thanks…I’d rather have a wicket keeper who will score 50 odd runs or less but Pakistan will still be in a position to win the game…rather than a keeper will score a 100 for Pakistan to draw a game.
