vvvslaxman Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I know we have had passengers right through our history. But atleast they had excuse of one dayers still being in evolution stage. Now that one dayers are fully evolved we are sending a side that will struggle to compete with a high school team when it comes to fielding. Saw the under-19 world cup. Then I see this. This is an absolutely crappy fielding unit. Can't field, Can't chase, Can't catch, Can't dive, Can't throw. Don't have the presence of mind. Not sure you could entirely blame coaching. Good fielders are good fielders when they start their career with few exceptions. It also forces the captain to hid these players. There is a cascading effect when you have a bunch of low energy fielders. They don't give confidence to bowlers or captain. It brings the morale down. On the contrary, it makes the opposition take more risks without worries. Bumrah Kuldeep Jadhav Shami Chahal Rayudu (assuming he plays) 6 genuinely mediocre fielders Rohit Dhawan Two lazy average fielders Shankar Pandya Kohli decent fielders Our entire bowling unit is as one-dimensional as it gets. Can't bat, Can't field. putrevus and Wall2018 1 1 Link to comment
retired_hurt Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 2011 team was easily worse fielding unit than this one. Link to comment
putrevus Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 That is the problem with this team. Bowlers cannot bat and batsmen cannot bowl.Indian team in past used to out bat other teams but this team cannot do that, it is totally dependent on bowlers winning the matches for them. Link to comment
Zero_Unit Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 You forgot to add Dhoni - Gun Filder Jokes aside, expect alot of drop catches. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Looking at how Pakistan fielded, our unit is capable of pretty much doing the same thing. This guy is the worst. Have to hide him somewhere. Here he is dropping Litton Das at 50. He went on to make 100 plus. Forever Indian 1 Link to comment
diehardpacer Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 The 2007 fielding side was atrocious. Kumble,Ganguly,Munaf,Agarkar,Zaheer in the same XI meant half of the team were the worst fielders. Dravid & Sachin were decent catchers but old legs have their limits. Link to comment

Nikola Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Shami & Kuldeep aren't mediocre. How come Kohli who has dropped most catches in this ipl or drops easy catches for India as well is considered decent? Shankar is overrated and only Pandya, Jaddu are good fielders. Link to comment

Norman Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 2015 was our best fielding side with a lot of young players. We had VK , Jaddu, Rahane, Raina, Umesh, Rohit (he was quite good back then). Only real weak link was Ashwin. Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 U cant have all atleast for now............untill in future the bowler n batsman who are coming up develop their 2nd or 3rd skill . Ask urself do u want jadeja, rahane, raina, manish pandey, mohit, umesh in team coz they field well........ Jo hai ussi men chalana padega .....every team has some weekness so do we. Link to comment

No, that was a good fielding unit. In the final match alone, they saved a lot of runs during the first 15 overs. Edited May 21, 2019 by Turning_track Link to comment
