India's tour of Australia 2011/12 - Dropped catches

[Sidhoni]

India

49.5 Ashwin to Hussey, no run, dropped by Rahul Dravid at slip, Ashwin had done so well to draw Hussey out of his crease and have him driving at a flighted one, it turned away to take the outside edge, and went at a nice height to Dravid at slip, who, not for the first time recently, has dropped a sitter

Australia

4.6 Pattinson to Sehwag, 1 run, in the air, past Hussey at gully. It wasn't an edge. Sehwag intentionally plays the steer in the air, and Hussey flies away to his right to intercept the rocket. He can't hold it though. That's a chance! He is standing much behind the usual gully position. Got both hands to it as it died on him.

19.5 Lyon to Sehwag, 1 run, did that land short? Sehwag skips out to the flight and whiplashes from wide of off stump airily towards mid-on, where his protege, Warner, is lurking. One of the best fielders in the world, mind you. He dived forward and seemed to get his hands under it, but couldn't quite scoop it. Looked like Sehwag wanted to go closer to midwicket than mid-on. That's a life.

20.5 Pattinson to Sehwag, no run, Vikram Seth will write a book on this innings. He's call it "Two Lives - Redux". Horrible from Haddin, who drops Sehwag again. Regulation nick that. Pattinson got him driving hard and loose to a length away seamer and the edge carried nicely. Haddin dived to the right, but the ball didn't even hit his palm. It hit his wrist and went down. What a clanger.

34.1 Khan to Warner, no run, oh dear, oh dear, can things get any worse for India, dropped by Kohli at first slip, it was a touch low and to his right but that was a regulation chance, Kohli perhaps thought Dhoni would go for it, he reacts late and that goes down, Warner gets a life and India;s best fielder on the park has put one down, Zaheer bowled pretty well today, but there's no reward

This was Dhoni's catch - any self respecting keeper would have gone for it and taken it.

[Cricket Tragic]

Yeah but it was a catch that a first slip should take rather easily.
