2.5 Hours Fielding Practice

[Maula Jutt]

It is revealed on Geo Super that the Pakistani players have been practicing fielding for 2.5 hours everyday. Reportedly it has made players exhausted and many have swollen hands now.

Aamer Sohail believes that that is just too much. They have to practice smart. Work on tactics of fieldings, not just 2.5 hours of fielding drills with no quality. They are just exhausting players physically and mentally like this. And now players are scared of the ball.

[Gollum]

It really showed in the field today. Hard work paying off

I dont know whether to laugh or cry. I am so demoralised right now, honestly dont knwo what to do

[Savak]

Again i repeat our players are not mentally tough enough for international cricket. They are scared of the ball while batting and fielding, they just cannot relax in the middle, there are two types of individuals, one who inspite of facing so many setbacks, pressures eventually lifts himself up and rises to the occasion and two, those who keep thinking about their past mistakes, poor performances, put themselves under pressure every single day and hence mess up in their daily activities.

Our players on a vast majority belong to the second category. If we are to ever improve as a cricket team, we need to select players from the first category and ruthlessly get rid of players in the second category.

I want fearless, gutsy players in my team. Not phattus.

Who are running these drills?
Must not be professinal coaches.
First we do not have professional players and now coaches

[*sallu*]

If they stop dropping catches, they won't have to practice 2.5 hours a day and will therefore not be exhausted

[AZ]

not enough, aur karwao

make they practise till they keel over.

It has got nothing to do with fielding practice but mire to do with their mental approach. They seems to loose concentration at times.

[the SHA]

Playing out of fear of making a mistake and being dropped for it. That is what happens when every single match a player is ruthlessly disgarded due to his 'mistakes'. Its simple human nature.

Thank you Ijaz Butt for destroying the past and future generation of Pakistani 'stars'.

Even this wont help....You still need to have your own balls to play any cricket...

[jazba]

^Do not blame the coaching staff; we just have a bunch crappy players who cannot bat or field.

[Dare2Dream]

They need to only do catch practice, the rest can come later!

[srh]

Ijaz Ahmad as a coach is overrated.

[Friend786]

bring in a psychologist !

[cricketcrazy]

We are the only one in the world who gets unfit while practicing

Have you seen any practice session ? Everyone one of them do it differently, just watch the pics someone posted yesterday.

Has anyone of the coach we have any credentials? All of the teams have professional coaches with proper coacing credentials. Being at best what you do is one thing but to teach others is a completly different skill.

Rubbish, they just need a good beating and simply be removed from the team along with their central contracts.

oh wait this is Pakistan so that will never happen
