If you can't field, you can't play for Pakistan - Arthur

Much needed. One jonty rhodes appeared in south africa and then we saw within only half of decade whole team Australia started setting new standards of fielding, following the good thing from South Africa. Years after, we still have not learnt the lesson. Not only quality fielding, Australia’s very good keeper would be one of their best batsman. I think same things should be followed by PCB.

We have kamran Akmal, never drops a catch. :smiley:

Re: If you can’t field, you can’t play for Pakistan - Arthur

The statement was made to give a reason of why Kamran Akmal was dropped. Fair enough.

But are we sure it has nothing to with umar akmal’s allegations on coach?

Re: If you can’t field, you can’t play for Pakistan - Arthur

Technically correct . On the other do we have grounds at lower level where young players don’t hesitate to dive and save boundaries or take diving catches.
Do we have many slip fielders during domestic matches .
Due to these I don’t think we can create many great fielders at a time still level of commitment to field better if available can increase level of fielding much higher

Re: If you can’t field, you can’t play for Pakistan - Arthur

Basically he answered the question if Kamran was eligible to play for Pakistan after his good performance in PSL3 and he is right

I saw give Sitare-e-Imtiaz to Arthur for keeping Kamran outta Pakistan team
