Not a sitter, but at this level you expect such catches to be taken. When you are the third slip, you should be expecting those. Gollum 1

LOL check the replay. Warner didn't slash, he pushed gently. Karun Nair was slow like a grandma to react and didn't move well. He should have gone with both hands considering how slow it was coming, check his body shape and stuck leg. Disgraceful by him. What was worst about the entire fiasco was the entire team laughing and smiling about it as if they had all won lotteries. beetle and Ultimate_Game 2
CG Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Actually he smirks after every ball ,more of habbit I think don't think he meant to smile.

zen Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I don't know why a player smiling after a drop is seen as a problem. Anyone who has read any decent book on handling pressure would tell you that it is better to move on and not be weighted down by mistakes which will only negatively impact your performance in the game In fact, if i were the captain/coach/whatever, i would encourage the player to get over the mistake, not to worry about it and focus on the next ball. There would be more opportunities Adi_91, sandeep, Lannister and 1 other 4
sandeep Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Renshaw is a glorified Aussie Akash Chopra with barely an offside game. Indians are held to higher standards. On a serious note, Nair is going to be feeling the heat - hasn't done much this series in spite of having opportunities.

I know that. But anyone who has read any decent book on handling pressure would tell that it is better to release the pressure and move on. If a smile helps to release pressure so be it and should be encouraged
Silva Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Imo that wasnt a pressure release smile. People tend to smile when they are nervous. I heard a basketball player in a documentary saying that when they see a player smiling they know that they are tight and feeling pressure. I think thats what that was. The kid is struggling to score while fighting for a place in the squad, do you guys really think he is smiling becuse he sees the funny part of dropping a catch in the series decider?
zen Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Talking about pressure, Ind society has the habit of putting ppl under pressure. Take kids for example. The parents put them under so much pressure - you need to be a doctor, you need to get good marks, if you fail, what will ppl say, etc. I understand it is to improve the life of kids but this only puts pressure on them No one can climb a mountain easily with a 50 kg bag on the back vs without the bag It is true with bosses in companies as well who think keeping ppl under pressure will make them perform better. Studies on pressure would suggest that taking the pressure off will make ppl perform better Adi_91 1
Ultimate_Game Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 Time to drop Nair and replace him with Shreyas Iyer next series. Other than "flash in the pan" 300 he hasn't done anything in any of quite a number of innings he has played.

Texan Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Nair's effective contribution in this match so far is -51. Dropped Warner on 0 and he went on to make 56. And when Nair batted, he got 5. Gollum 1
Lannister Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 The next Test series will be in SL. I think he may get one more chance seeing it's the spinners we will be facing again.
