Pakistan's slip cordon in the series against England

[Major]

There you go.

Had the slip cordon came up,that catch of root could had been missed.

They were at the right placeand took the catch at chest level

Root would been long gone if they were up. Even commentators been saying it all innings.
And I think they are up as ball is carrying to Keeper well. Before he was taking every very low

Warne and Key before play this morning discussing Pakistan's slip fielding positions, observing that they were too far back to the point where second slip was behind the wicketkeeper, when in fact he should be in line with him.

Looks like they still havent learnt. That shouldve carried knee length to Shan, good healthy edge.

 

[Firebat]

Good low catch from Shan, but are they too far back?

[MENTION=138771]Firebat[/MENTION], Im positive they are, specially at Shaheens end against the breeze. You're not going to get a healthier edge than that, should've carried knee length.

England better bowlers - slip fielders closer

Pakistan bowlers - slips fielders further back

No planning - no analysis.

Is there a term for doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?

Getting rid of the best fielding coach Pakistan ever had, getting a tried and failed bowling coach and a head coach with zero credentials.

As I always say, Pakistan is not a top tier team but there is no reason at all to punch below their weight by doing the basics wrong over and over again - as we saw today against NZ.

They never seem to learn from their mistakes

Always a couple of metres too deep Youd have thought they learn But same mistakes being repeated again again n catches dropping short again n again

I also think the biggest loss to Pakistan in the last 2 years is Younis Khan's slip fielding. It was the difference between winning and losing matches. He marshaled the slip cordon with command and took all his catches reliably.
