Lurker Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Dravid now has 159 catches in 116 Tests! Mark Waugh leads with 181 catches. While that maybe a tall order he surely can get to 2nd all time position. Lara currently occupies it with 164 catches in 132 tests. Dravid may never get merit as one of the best fielders India produced but he has been a very safe fielder for us over the years. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Yeah, I've been keeping a quite watch on that number. I don't think 181 is out of range. India are playing 20+ tests in the next 15 months and if he can keep his spot he is in with a good chance to overtake Waugh. Link to comment

Anakin Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 He's been a good slip fielder, but he's dropped more dollies than any great catcher would do. Quite average fielder elsewhere. Link to comment
