Mohammad Amir has had awful luck since he returned from suspension, having at least 11 catches go down off his bowling in Tests; but he had a sense of humour about his misfortune, and suggested the team suffers more from dropped catches than he does.Amir had four chances missed off his bowling in the ongoing Hamilton Test: two in the slips, one at midwicket, plus a difficult low catch that he himself dropped in his follow through. Catches off his bowling had also gone down through the mid-year Tests in England, and more recently against West Indies as well.Yes, it affects the bowler when you run from 22 yards and your catch is dropped - youre disappointed and frustrated, Amir said. But it affects the team more than the individual. Ive been very unlucky, but I try to be a team man.Its difficult to keep count, but I think at least 12-13 catches have gone down off my bowling in Tests and about six-seven catches have been dropped in the shorter formats as well.Chances were also missed off the bowling of Wahab Riaz on Monday, and the reprieves allowed New Zealand to shore up their dominant position in the match, hitting 313 for 5 declared in the second innings to set Pakistan 369 for victory. If Pakistan fail to win this Test, they will lose their No. 2 ranking - a fact Amir said will motivate them to attempt the target on day five.The ranking is very important and weve achieved it after a lot of hard work, he said. In the last seven series, weve won about five. Its very important for us. We like to be among the top teams in the world. Tomorrow there will be 98 overs to bowl, and the first session will be very important. If we can lay a platform, well try to achieve the target. Well try to break the target up into smaller scores, and go about it that way.New Zealand had taken a 55-run lead into the second innings, but Pakistan may still have put pressure on the hosts if they had taken quick wickets on day four. Many of Mondays overs might have been bowled by legspinner Yasir Shah, had he been in the XI, but despite New Zealands eventual scoreline, Amir was confident the best side had been selected.The decision to play four seamers was the correct one, he said. So far theres been a very limited role for the spinners, so the decision to play four quicks was right. The track has improved for batting. The ball is coming onto the bat and its become easier to play shots. Theres a good possibility that we will bat well.Having won the toss on a green-top, however, Amir said Pakistan should have been more clinical on the first and second days.The score of 271 in the first innings when we bowled was on the higher side. We should have got them out for a lower score. Catches also went down - but thats part of the game.

HOCKENHEIM, Germany -- Frontal cockpit protection will not be introduced for Formula One cars before the 2018 season, to allow for more testing, the governing body of world motor sports said Thursday.The F1 Strategy Group that includes Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone, six leading teams and FIA President Jean Todt agreed on the move after a meeting in Geneva. Drivers, who spoke strongly in favor of the Halo system, were hoping it would come into force next season.The FIA said that because there was relatively little time until the next season, it would be prudent to use the remainder of this year and early next year to further evaluate the full potential of all options before final confirmation.This will include multiple tests of the Halo system in practice sessions this season and the first part of the 2017 season.While the system is currently the preferred option, the Strategy Group thought that another year of development could result in an even more complete solution. The FIA said Halo remains a strong option for introduction in 2018.While drivers generally dont like the look of the system, which puts a see-through capsule around their cockpits, they appreciate the improved safety.ddddddddddddIt would prevent flying objects from hitting their heads and would provide added protection when cars overturn or when they land on each other.Speaking before the outcome of the vote was known, four-time champion Sebastian Vettel said, I think 90-95 percent of the drivers voted for it. We dont like the looks of it, but I dont think theres anything that really justifies death.Weve always learned from what happened, incidents that happened on the track, and weve always tried to improve, the Ferrari driver said. Now, that would be the first time I think in human history that weve learned a lesson and we dont change. Its up to us to make sure it does happen, otherwise I think wed be quite stupid.Vettel is one of the three directors of the Grand Prix Drivers Association. ' ' '
