Indian slip catching hall of shame

[adi B]

Kohli is a pathetic catcher in general,his catching technique (be placed anywhere in the ground) is horrible 

[adi B]

Our slip cordon is what kamran akmal was to pak bowlers 

[gakgupta]

Ravi Shastri won't risk his job by talking about fielding after what happened to Kumble. 
 
These guys are motivated, work hard in gym and are extremely fit and naturally better fielders than all their predecessors. Oldies shouldn't tell them about fielding.

Then why is he with the team.....what are his responsibilities

Cheerleading.

 

You gotta need a powerful cheerleader with a booming voice.

Kohli's drops at slips is 47% overall and 50% for quicks. So he drops every other catch. I am sure even club cricketers will have a less pathetic record!

 

Virat Kohli - Catches And Drops

	at slip for quicks	at slip for spin	at gully for spin	backward short leg for spin	outfield
Catches as captain - 27	6	3	3	4	11
Drops as captain - 12*	6	2	2	1	1

Just let Rahane, Vijay catch. Rahul is also good but won't be selected

How difficult is it to realise that? It's ok to not be the best at everything.

Unnecessary overconfidence by Kaptaan Agressive. He need to let go and move out of slip cordon.

Ravi Shastri and the support staff are for only massaging the inflated egos of our millionaire superstars & singing their praises on camera.

I don't expect any improvement with our team's catching in general.

So then we have to worry about slip catching as well. GREAT. Hahane+slip catching woes = 3-0 confirmed.

 

Then again maybe hahane won't even be part of the squad let alone playing 11. Good times.

 

I want Kock to F69k the BCCI team real good. They should be bruised badly.

Oh come on..it's easier for cameraman to catch a full face shot of virat every ball when virat is standing at slip.  That opportunity is bigger.

Well..

Mr Ravi Shastri ...instead of making mumbai cricket team an Indian team, concentrate on these extremely important aspects....no way India can win a single match overseas...

Last time around India lost most of the overseas matches not because of batting or bowling but because of slip catching....

Its been 3 years and nothing has changed

Shame on the coaching and support staff not to work on this aspect..

For me, this should be the slip cordon

Pujara

Rahane

Rahul

Ashwin

Vijay

 

Really can't understand why Vijay is not in slip cordon

Is Dhawan from Mumbai?   Was our best slip-catcher, Rahane the Mumbai boy, fielding in the slips?  Is the fielding coach, R Sridhar, from Mumbai?  Is the actual coach, not the "motivational man manager", Sanjay Bangar, from Mumbai?

 

Banjo tired of the Bombay hate, and that too baseless at times, that is rampant on this forum these days.

That's Brillant virginbot v3.. What would a sachin bhakt know about field placements. He is the worst captain ever ever had got white washed by RSA at home LOL 

[chewy]

Ind v SL 3rd Test 2017, Another drop in slips, this time by world’s most overrated batsman, Rohit Sharma 

What’s the point of bowling fast when these overpaid Barbies can’t catch for their life 

[Laaloo]

And Sharma drops Matthews on 99.

Ishant to Mathews, 1 run, dropped! It is that jinxed second slip position. Dhawan dropped it there. Kohli dropped it there and now Rohit joins the list. A sitter. Ishant is not a happy man. Back of a length and outside off, hint of away movement, Mathews is rooted to the crease as he flays away from the body, the outside edge flies to the right of Rohit and he parries it away. Kohli has replaced Pujara at first slip and Rohit has taken Kohli's position. Lots of chopping and changing, no consistency is costing India

Kohli is the worst slip catcher that you will ever get to see. And what's worse - he picks all the wrong people to stand in the slips, including himself.

[Texan]

Instead of bloody yo-yo test, have a catching test and drop everybody who doesn't pass that test.

If that happens none barring rahane will qualify.

Even Rahane has dropped lot of catches. He is the third highest dropper after Kohli and Dhawan.
