Texan Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Every time a catch goes up and an Indian player or more than one player is under it, my bet is that more than half of these are being put down these days. What is going on? Not enough catching practice? Unable to take these under pressure? What else? Hope BCCI is taking note. I would have said TM should take note, but Kohli himself is King of dropped catches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkt.india Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 You should also note that as batsmen playing more shots, they are giving more catches than normal, so, drop rate is also more than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true in T20, but doesn't justify the increase in rate of dropped catches. It seems like even basic stuff like calling for a catch is not happening.

Many of our boys can't manage the easy ones either. The catch off Russel that Bumrah dropped looked very easy*. His eyes were not on the ball. He ran awkwardly. And completely mistimed it. Looked like a regulation catch. (*) Easy based on my grand total of zero hours experience of playing cricket. Texan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asterix Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Please don’t take these catch drops seriously. These are IPL catch drops... Various methods used like using Hard Hands, Slippery Hands, Misjudgement, collision etc. This is part and parcel of keeping the match on “Auto Pilot” for a “tight” finish. Bookies love these catch drops... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeGaw Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Bumrah’s drop yesterday wasn’t an easy catch to make. The ball went so high up it probably brought down rain with it. Combine that with any kind of swirling wind and the lights and you have a difficult catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
