Some horrible drops

Wahab Riaz and now Neesham!

We had some balls go through fielders legs.

Is the PSL fielding standard dropped in PSL 8?
 
The two most experienced players in this psl dropping a catch simply not good enough.
 
Fielding standards are poor this season. Especially, local players are hopeless and lacking commitment on the field.
Nowadays, express bowling alone can win you a match or two but not a tournament.
To win the tournament you need all the department's batting, fielding and bowling firing on all cylinders.
 
The fielding is always a worry in this tournament.

The biggest concern is that so many of the younger guys coming through are poor fielders and lack game awareness in the field.

It's almost like fielding is an afterthought to these guys.
 
Ihsanullah one of the worst fielders you will ever see. Lethargic and slow in the field.
 
Absolute blinder by Irfan Khan Niazi to remove Faheem Ashraf

Wahab Riaz lets through a four - pretty pathetic.
 
Sharjeel Khan drops a sitter.

It was like watching cricket in slow motion.

Terrible.
 
Fielding standards in the PSL reflect the standard of fielding and fitness levels in general among Pakistani first class players and the quality of domestic coaching. Extremely poor

The standard of fielding and fitness levels among local Pakistani players has been shockingly bad. You will not find this in the IPL.
 
Poor old Ihsanullah.

If he wants to play international cricket then he has lots of work to do on his fielding. Hopefully he can work on this aspect of his game.

Irfan Niazi looks like a standout fielder.

2 excellent catches already at PSL8.
 
Brilliant from Mohammad Haris

Kamran Ghulam with a pretty easy chance that he has put down.

Lucky that didn't hit him in the face.
 
I'm actually shocked at how bad some of the fielding is, not just the young guys but some who have been around in domestic cricket for so many years. Basic errors.
 
Ihsanullh needs to learn from Shaheen’s example

Shaheen used to be a baqri in the field too in his early days. Now he has become a cheetah fielder

Shaheen was always a good fielder, he was just tall which makes it harder.

You don’t learn good fielding by hard work, with some rare exceptions.

You can get a little better but generally fielding is to do with athleticism which is not easy to change.
 
A special effort from Tayyab Tahir. Game changing moment

Miller with a horrible drop earlier today - learning from some of his Pakistani team-mates :)

This could be the catch of the tournament by Haris

Big pat on the back for a stunner taken by the ball boy :)

That drop from Zafar Gohar was pure comedy.

A professional cricketer should not be dropping such an easy catch.
 
What a catch and what an occasion for it
