Akmal was not always a bad keeper. He started dropping catches during last 1 or 2 years, I think.

All these stats don't mean a lot because it depends on how many opportunities the bowlers create. They really should have the drop chances included in the stats for keepers. When Bob Taylor had that fantastic match in India in 1980, Boycott told him that it was no big **** because his mum would have caught them with her bread basket and it's about how many you drop as a keeper rather than how many you catch.
