Yousuf has a pretty safe pair of hands too besides Fawad...remember the ICC Trophy match against India????

Or are you too blind to see beyond Yousuf's beard...

Yeah, I will second this fact. MoYo may not be as athletic and sharp as de Villiers but I have not watched him dropping any catches in Tests. He is not a slipper with v.quick reflexes but he catches the odd one which come to him. Like wise normally S Katich does not field in slip but he is really good at short fine-leg(few meters from the bat on leg-side), any one remember that last ashes and his heroics.

No Misbah is the best slip fielder in our team. I want Farhat to stay away from that area, MoYo was stupid enough to keep him there after 2 dropped BIG chances.

there will be a lot more catches coming in the slips when pak go to australia. Anyone remeber 1989 when I think at least 25 catches were dropped in the series of Wasim. I remember only one catch caught in the slip and that was taken by Wasim himself off Aaquib Javed!

Pakistan should play Misbah first, younis second and either malik or akmal third slip for that series.

MoYo is not the best fielder but I can't remember the last time he dropped a catch.

I've noticed that he seems to field better now and looks more alert. He picks the ball up quickly and has an attempt at the stumps. Looks more sharper.

His ground fielding is very good but jury is still out on him as to whether he can hold on to difficult catches.

Aamir?? He may not be like Brett Lee, but he's pretty good.

Aamer is not half as bad as others in that list of yours.

Fawad does have a safe pair of hands (MashALLAH)... If I can remember correctly, he's yet to drop a catch in international cricket. We need more fielders like him.. and we need some decent slip fielders!!!! Our slip cordon comprising of Misbah and YK was so good..their absence is hurting!

You must be watching a different Aamir, cos from what I've seen he's among the more enthusiastic fielders in Pakistan.

He's improved a lot, Masha Allah. He's been taking some stunners here and there.
