He does irritate in the commentary box but has a lot of guts to ask the right questions.

And just like his predecessor, he can shut him out of commentary box too.

just another consequence of all the games we've played at home recently, dropped catches didn't cost because another chance was never far away.

Thank you captain obvious.

 

Nobody cares about your views bhogle, one of the most pathetic brown nosing pak loving commentator, just behind majrekar on the worst commies list

Centurion catching must have been the worst in entire history of Indian cricket. I was celebrating like someone had scored a 100 every time we took a catch.

his not so subtle nods and shakes of his head wind me right up

Harsh Bhogle is stupid as they come. I understand catches have been a problem. But India was winning despite dropping those. The problem lies squarely on batting this time and in particular the opening stand. How does Harsh gets air time is beyond me.

Somebody should  tel this loudspeaker Harsha its not all about speaking and clamoring in commentary box every second or two, he should shut his mouth and let other speak too, dhoni actually did good job by kicking this clown out of the box, hope kohli does the same.

[Silva]

Easy temporary fix is to not pick Dhawan and Parthiv patel. Even if lokesh is injured then Rohit should be picked ahead of Dhawan 

 

TBH if Pant is as good as people say he is behind the stumps I see no reason why Patel is in the squad ahead of him. Heck I am sure their are plenty of Wicket keepers that are better behind the stumps than Patel. It just seems like a lazy selection.

In Aus/SA/NZ/Eng whenever we have won matches we have held on to our catches, in fact taken blinders (recall Dravid's 2 game changing catches off SRT's bowling in Adelaide). In India our spinners create many chances so the cracks are papered over, still we have converted a few sureshot wins to draws because of our drops, IIRC we dropped 10 catches in Rajkot against Eng and that was the only draw in that 5 test series. Dropping 1/2 catches per test is pardonable, but dropping 9? Openers click bhi ho gaye to we get 75-100 additional runs but with these many drops, their big guns are bound to hurt us and they did in Centurion. Can you point out any example where a team has dropped 9 catches and then won an overseas test? We didn't lose to SA because of batting, we lost solely because of the gulf in class in fielding, while we were dropping dollies left and right the Saffers were taking blinders.

Becoz we were competing with team which were not at par with us, atleast not in our conditions

It those dropped catches that costed us Pune game and has impacted us huge in this SA series as well

 

When two good teams compete even slightest of mistakes can be costly.

yes if two teams are about the same. Currently Indian batting does not look like #1 team at all.

Well said Harsha, can we hire Bob Simpson again?
