I myself think he is the worst wicketkeeper to wear the gloves for Pakistan. He can't catch (the whole point of keeping!) and can't bat too well either. I myself would prefer a keeper who never dropped one but averaged 15, rather than a 35 average keeper who drops 2/5 catches. I feel sorry for Pakistani bowlers, especially Kaneria who has too many of his dropped.
He has been criticised by former keepers (Moin Khan,Rashid Latif etc) for having totally incorrect footwork and overall keeping skills. However, the selectors think otherwise and persist with him, even after numerous horrendous matches where he has dropped 3-4 catches and scored less than 10. I can't think of any other keeper who drops as many!
I know there is another keeper, Zulquanain Haider but he wasnt too good either.
So do any of you know of any alternatives to akmal?
Do any of you think he has any talent whatsoever?
Do any of you think he is good enough to keep for Pakistan?
