fineleg Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Thread to list and capture all goofups by Team India (Ind-Aus Test series) Test 1: 1. Viru drops Watson on 0 (should have been taken, not too difficult) 2. Ishant (no ball) Ponting caught by Dhoni off no ball (that over had 4-5 no balls) 3. Dhoni dropping Watson on 37? :finger: :banghead: (Surely must have been taken, BIG miss!) 4. Half-chance: 26.2 Ojha to Watson, 1 run, could that have been a run out? Watson pushes a full ball from leg stump towards midwicket and sets off for a quick single. Tendulkar fields and throws at the bowler's end, he misses the stumps and replays show Watson would have been just short 5. 84.5 Khan to Paine, no run, 86.9 mph, what happened there? Again movement away from Paine, he poked tentatively. Was there on edge on it? Dhoni did not collect cleanly as it died on him. A bit of noise as it passed Paine, but he did not seem to have got an edge. Replays suggest a really faint edge. So that is two drops from Dhoni today. 6. Paine on 88 edged Zak..ball goes between Dhoni and Dravid. Clearly keeper's catch. Dhoni should have gone for that.
fineleg Posted October 1, 2010 Author Posted October 1, 2010 I dont know why people say M$D is a safe pair of hands :dontknow: Its not like M$D is careful in catches, stumpings :dontknow:
Andy Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I dont know what should i post. Feel like slapping Dhobi big time.
DomainK Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I dont know what should i post. Feel like slapping Dhobi big time. I thought we could avoid unnecessary name calling of Indian players at least on this site. I understand your frustration on the drop, but calling names is not the best way of expressing it, is it?

fineleg Posted October 1, 2010 Author Posted October 1, 2010 oh, how nice. can u please make the same thread for the aussies please. I am more interested in tracking what the Indian team does. Feel free to make one for Aus if you want to track them.

Feel free to make one for Aus if you want to track them. whats the point of "tracking" a few dropped catches and no bals? are india the only team that do these things? are you going to email the list to the indian cricket team and tell them to stop doing this ?

I am surprised at your continual antagonism against any criticism of the Indian team and/or its players. Constructive criticism is always to be welcomed. Not spurned.
Nova Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Hmm..the first session would have been ours. Some costly misses there so far. Keep on updating bro/sis.
Manny_Pacquiao Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Updated the run-out miss (half-chance) wow. a missed run out chance makes the list? how is that a 'goof up' ? every single fielder in the world misses the stumps from midwicket most of the time, including the good ones like jonty rhodes
fineleg Posted October 1, 2010 Author Posted October 1, 2010 wow. a missed run out chance makes the list? how is that a 'goof up' ? every single fielder in the world misses the stumps from midwicket most of the time, including the good ones like jonty rhodes I agree with you that its not a 'goof up' per se - I listed it as a half-chance. Specifically added that to the listing so it is not viewed as the stupid, crazy goofups that are the other 3 listed. But point noted. Perhaps I wont list all of that. I mainly want to collect the stupid goofups and we have 3 of those in just the FIRST session!
