umpire Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Dravid needs 10 catches to topple Mark Waugh and become highest catches holder. It does not get his due as brilliant slipper. P.S. Self loathers will argue that most his catches he got must be easy as fielding in slips in India against spinners is far easier than to the fast bowling and hence this record should be taken as pinch of salt. :D Link to comment
mhr123 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 No easy to stand in the slips while kumble is bowling. Link to comment
Dooks Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Well he would have got the record already if he had not dropped so many in the last three series or so. Link to comment
Sachinism Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Well he would have got the record already if he had not dropped so many in the last three series or so. lol but im sure mark waugh dropped a few in his day too Dravid has been a great fielder for many years and yes its not easy catching in slips with Kumble bowling Link to comment
Kartikey Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Fantastic Player. What would be good would be Kumble bowling when Dravid takes the record breaking catch and Punter batting. Link to comment

Don't worry it will happen this year when the convicts will be thrashedin India. Oh! I really hate the bluddy australians. Link to comment
Ram Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 This guy is good at whatever he does... If he had been a bowler, I am sure he would have taken 600 wickets. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Dravid has been a brilliant slip fielder and his catches/matches ratio is also superb, so his record is not only a result of playing a lot cricket. His catches/matches ratio is as good as Mark Waugh. Having said that, there has been a perceptible decline in his ability in the slips over the past year. Maybe, it's a loss of reflexes or just his poor batting form spilling over to fielding. Link to comment
