Old guy Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 This is one area where we wont be missing Dravid. His catching in the last couple of years went into this diabolical downward spiral. There's no way he was going to take that edge from Franklin's bat in the 2nd innings. agree dravid has dropped many crucial catches and he was aware of these htings thts why he retired so wont complain much about him sehwag is much more safer
King Tendulkar Posted August 27, 2012 Author Posted August 27, 2012 I am not too convinced about the slip catching. After Tendulkar I can only see Kohli and Sehwag as good slip fielders. Athleticism means little in test matches compared to slip catching and outside the subcontinent you need three good slip fielders. Yeah Dravid and Laxman had declined towards the end but till a couple of years back both were brilliant in the slips. Haven't seen Pujara in the slips' date=' but he has the reflexes to be good there.[/quote'] Dude did you even watch the match This was one of indias greatest ever performances in slips. Kohli and sehwag took some miracle catches. And I mean absolute amazing catches. I love Dravid but frankly in last 2 years his slip catching was awful(before that quality of course). If Dravid was in the slips, the match would have gone in to day 5.
