There is a saying in cricket that 'Take a catch, win the match and drop a catch, lose the match.' We have seen many such matches in which teams batted and bowled well but lost the match due to dropping catches and this is the reason why most of the teams have taken their ground fielding to the highest level but the fielding of Pakistan cricket team is not good. At present only God knows when there will be improvement because his poor fielding continues even on the Australia tour.
In the second Test of the series in Melbourne, Pakistan could have got its first wicket against Australia in the third over itself, but Abdullah Shafiq, standing in the slips, took a simple catch, due to which Australian opener David Warner got a lease of life. Shaheen Shah Afridi's ball hit the edge of David Warner's bat and Shafiq, standing at first slip, did not even have to move and the ball went straight into his hands but he could not complete the catch, due to which his teammates were disappointed.
At that time Warner was batting on only 2 runs and when Shafiq dropped this catch, Shaheen's reaction was enough to tell the whole story. You can watch the video of this drop catch below. Due to this drop catch, Pakistan's fielding has once again come under question and fans are having a lot of fun on social media.
