Running between Wickets & Fielding: Impact of Player Fitness in Total Value to Pakistan Cricket Team

So, I just england players run four runs. Four. runs. by simply running.

Now, i wanted to know, which of the Pakistani players are more likely to do this? Probably Shoaib Malik? What other players can convert 1s into 2s and 2s into 3s? or, are we have players who convert 2s into 1s?

Also, those who are fit, also bring value to their fielding unit. They save runs. And thus make their worth count. Now we have players who are more stand and deliver type, in Pakistan. And they can't stop runs in the field. They drop catches and sometimes don't even attempt if there were a skier. Should we seriously support them over players who are fit? Should fitness not be the criteria?

How is fitness not the most important thing already for Pakistani team?

They can all do it, so run 88 yards from the time bairstow hit it to the time the ball was returned BUT they wouldn't run the first 2 at full tilt which is when you should realise that it's on. That's more of a problem for me

Fitness and being active, on your toes, it does wonders for your team
 
Also depends on the ground On certain ones like trent bridge its impossible because of thr small playing surface

Cardiff is one of the larger ones tbh

Agreed. We have played in larger grounds too. In dubai, for example. Or anywhere recently, have you seen four scored by running only? The point is, our fitness standards have made us so poor that instead of running & converting 1s into 2s, or 2s into 3s, we actually do the opposite.
 
Been on and off for Pakistan in the 1st innings - some indecision but then some good singles also
