200 catches, Congratulate THE WALL

@Gunner :finger: there is also need to have safe hands.

What a fantastic achievement and what a catch to reach the landmark. He is going to have the record for sometime. The two guys who can catch up with him are Kallis and Jayawardene (both at 165).

I can't seem to find a definitive answer in any of the post match reports. Is this 200 non-keeper catches for Dravid? Or is this including them? If it is 200 on it's own, then well done sir, in fact either way well done. You know we have a keeper (Akmal) who drops so many that we know the importance of of taking catches. As for his catching ability, he is a very safe slip catcher. I would say easily the safest of the Indian slips fielders and perhaps only behind Jayawardene of Sri Lanka in terms of reliability in the subcontinent.

AFAIK, Dravid only kept wickets in ODIs, these are 200 catches as a non-keeper. PS: Congrats to Dravid on a gr8 effort, however if you play that many matches as slip fielder you are bound to take 200 catches so no big deal. Actually you could have put any donkey in the slips for 149 tests and he would have ended up with 200 catches.

Correct. Dravid never kept wickets in tests, so all catches are non-keeper catches. And good attempt at flaming Gunner, but it's not working.

At last, a sane poster :agree:
