Younis Khan is Pakistan's first and only fielder with 100+ catches

[Wattoo]

At the moment Younas Khan is at 2nd no in Pakistani players' list of most catches in test matches. He has taken 91 catches in 82 test matches and still playing for pakistan in tests. So hopefully he will be First pakistani player to take 100 catches in tests.

Looking at list, I can conclude that his record will be there at least in in next 15-20 years.

hopefully he will break record of Miandad during series vs Zimbabwe.
And he will surpass magical 100 figure in SA tour.

@Wattoo:-I think you excluded the keepers? I can't see any if my eyes serve me well.

 

[Haroon786]

was Matthias while by any chance? Not being racist, just want to know.

Yes, except keepers.

I dont know what are you talking about?

This thread is about countdown to Yk's 100 test catches.

btw matthias was a wonderful fielder.

 

[waqas.farooq]

He has also the best ratio of catches to matches

 

[asif9138]

wonder where is saeed anwer?
imran farhat is in that list too! wow

 

[Saeed]

Can't believe that hafeez took only 21 catches.

 

[Wattoo]

wonder where is saeed anwer?
imran farhat is in that list too! wow

Saeed anwar took just 18 catches in 55 tests.

 

[hadi123]

it would be 100 if our fielders didn't drop so many catches

 

[Wattoo]

Will he break Miandad's record in this test?

Will he become first pakistani player to grab 100 catches during this test series?

 

[The Dark Corner]

was Matthias while by any chance? Not being racist, just want to know.

He wasn't white. He was, however, the first non- Muslim to play for Pakistan. He was a brilliant fielder, especially in the slips, and a useful bat.

 

[hadi123]

Younis Khan will get there this year hopefully

Thanks for the reply.

 

[Justcrazy]

Miandad had some catches as WK also , I think.

 

[LooneyReturns]

How did Farhat's father in law get him on that list ?

I was surprised to see that Farhat has one of the best catching rate on that list. Whenever I have seen him play he has often dropped dollies.

 

[Wattoo]

No, he did not had catches as WK.

 

[Wattoo]

TL Chatara c Younis Khan b Saeed Ajmal

Catch no.92

 

[liaqat]

MYK the best catcher in pak team full stop

[Wattoo]

Catch no 93 by YK in SA's 1st innings. Equalled the record of most catches by a Pakistani player in tests.

 

[shakil]

I thought Inzi should be topping the list to due to his brilliant slip catching. Surprising list

 

[Wattoo]

Not a good time to update, but

YK has taken catch No.95 today, Now holds the record of most catches by a pakistani player in tests.

[Haroon786]

Will inshallah reach 100 catches during the Lanka series.

 

[Munna]

I thought Inzi should be topping the list to due to his brilliant slip catching. Surprising list

During Inzi's days, our fast bowlers used to concentrate more on plucking the root of stumps and relied less on fielders

 

[Wattoo]

3 test , 6 innings ahead reasonable timd to achieve this milestone.

 

[fastyy]

Yes legend!!! I'm pretty sure Inzi dropped more than he took.

 

[Haroon786]

I have an epic typo in this thread.

 

[Square Drive]

Taufeeq the next current Pakistani cricketer with 44 catches! Doesn't look like anyone will break YK's number of catches for a while now...

 

[farazaidi]

During Inzi's days, our fast bowlers used to concentrate more on plucking the root of stumps and relied less on fielders

Inzi wasnt a very good slipper at the start, he improved later on. Also, he had a better time fielding in ODIs then Tests.

 

[Wattoo]

Catch no.96 for YK. Just 4 to go.

 

[Energetic]

Only world class fielder Pakistan has ever had.

 

[Wattoo]

YK has taken catch no.97 today. 3 to go.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Hope the smiling legend get's the remaining 3 catches in this test.

 

[Justcrazy]

It will be good for if he gets those 3 in this match itself.

 

[Wattoo]

Catch no.98

Just 2 for century. But have to wait till Oct for next series

 

[Mr Consistent]

just 2 catches needed

 

[Mr Consistent]

now 99

 

[Mr Consistent]

need 1 more

 

[Wattoo]

Hopefully he will achieve this milestone during this test.[emoji7]

 

[farazaidi]

someone update the title, he is on 99 now

 

[Energetic]

Unarguably the greatest fielder Pakistan has ever produced. If it weren't for him then Pakistan would've lost that 12 Asia Cup final.

Fielder and catcher, two different things. There were many great individual fielders for Pakistan but Pakistan as a whole has never been good.

[junaid.ahmed]

[Fastandfurious]

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283548.html

 

[Wattoo]

Congrats YK on completing 100 Catches. A great fielder. Looking on list it looks like his record will stay there since a very long time.
.

 

[iafzal]

All the slip players with good number of catches.
Majid, YK, Inzi all first slip and Miandad I think usually on second slip.

Surprising to see Yousuf and Farhat on the list. Not good fielders by I guess they stood on slips as well.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

Well done Younis
atleast one pakistani entered this hall of fame

 

[junaid.ahmed]

we have had wasim on the slips too & we all know how much better he was at fielding

 

[Major]

No.in cricket there are two types of fielders, one who are standing as catchers and others who are standing there to stop singles

 

[ExplicitAI]

Fantastic fielder produced by Pak.

 

[Sam18696]

Amazing fielder. Well done!

 

[Muhammad10]

 

[Citizen4]

wow Younis bhai

Legend

 

[Bilal7]

Not only one of the top five batters from Asia but a top five catcher as well. What a legend this man is.

 

[ExpressPacer]

High averages everywhere for Younis!

 

[Hasan123]

Brilliant fielder . He has held on to some pressure catches .

One of Pakistans best slip fielders and one of the best in Asia ever.

 

[Square Drive]

Guess what? He has more catches than Sachin as well! [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION]

 

[shaz619]

The single greatest batsman and fielder of all times! Sachin was too short to be good at fielding, the ball kept going over him so I can give him a pass for his fielding lapse

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Brilliant fielder . He has held on to some pressure catches .

One of Pakistans best slip fielders and one of the best in Asia ever.

Not just Asia, he's one of the best ever.

 

[Justcrazy]

He will hold this record for a long time I think.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

He will hold this record for a long time I think.

Now somebody will come along and claim on how Shadab and Babar will break these records in future

The fitness levels of Younis and Misbah are exceptional. They are so fit that they make some of the younger players look like the ones who are 40 or so.
