Yes. The answer is the team needs to run a marathon every day at 10 MPH and then dive on the ball. They may not win the world cup that way but will be to compete at the Vulcan cup :)
Oh and Kamran Akmal can not be criticized or the entire baradari will be out to defend him.
Re: Fielding Improvements?
Please dont compare Moin and Akmal.... Against Spin Moin was better than Latif... Its just our habbit now to claim the tool that was the best wasnt used. Forget Latif even Gilchrist Droped Catches and it is reasonable to drop a catch but making it a habit is what Kamran has done when it comes to dropping catches and missings stumps.
I personally believe i have seen local Pakistani guys keeping better than Akmal, and m not exaggerating. We had guy who played in Ranji Trophy and his Keeping was stunning i cant believe Akmal is still our first keeper.
I agree that he shouldnt be and thats what i have said many times on KK before. On top of that i have still come over his missed run out in Sydney test. However, it does not mean that i wish my team to loose. But some people in their ethnic bigotry will stop at nothing even if means ridiculing their country.
Re: Fielding Improvements?
I think Pakistan's fielding is like a fob who at best can learn how to speak english with an accent when hes trying. Thats what the fielding drills with Waqar accomplished... surface improvement. But when there is pressure, just as fobs like me revert to desi accent angrezi, Pakistan team's fielding reverts to type.

Re: Fielding Improvements?
That guy was famous for stealing single runs by just touching the ball with the bat and run for the other side. I agree with you, he was fast.
Yes - cheeky singles when needed, 4s/ 6s when needed. I hated him!
Re: Fielding Improvements?
Plus, we cant single handedly blame Kamran Akmal for all the missed catches either. Plenty of other players are doing it too.
Kamran's catch drops have lost many games, this last one game probably was one game where you will see Misbah, Younis or even Umar Akmal drop catches in one single game, these three have been really good catchers (atleast Misbah and Umar).
