Bowler to throttle keeper ?

Damn, I feel sorry for Aktar, bowls a beauty and the Keeper and first slip both leave it.
Then the poor sod bowls another good ball, Taylor nicks it and the keeper drops the catch.

131 runs later Taylor is out, some people wonder why bowlers get angry, no surprise they do at times.

Kamran Akmal has made an unfortunate habit of dropping catches. Certainly doesn't help with the match fixing allegations, and in fact was what led to them in the Sydney game last year.

The first one wasn't entirely Akmal's fault, whoever was at slip probably should've gone for it as well instead of neither. The second one you expect to be taken by any keeper at any level.

I don't know, the first was pretty clearly a keeper's catch. Younis Khan (I think it is) should've gone for it too, but that doesn't really make Akmal's decision any less of a mistake.

It was mostly his fault, but not entirely.
