Yadav to Stokes, 1 run, another chance dropped! Wriddhiman Saha, what are you doing? Again it's shortish outside off, again Stokes slashes at it, again he gets a thick edge, and this time Saha doesn't even have to dive as far to his left. He gets both hands to it at a comfortable height and puts it down

Poor stuff from Saha

message from indian slip fielders and w/k to shami and yadav:

 

we will not take slip catches off fast bowling

we will only try against the spinners

we will keep our place even after dropping catches when our captain says in the press conference that indian fast bowlers are not doing their job properly as the scorecard doesnt show dropped catches count... we will take the easy ones of spinners and act very cool with our hyper celebrations

we dont care if you lose your place...

so basically you will pay for our laziness in the field.

What happened between NZ series to this Eng Series?? Our fielders were decent there, but absolutely crappy in this!!!? And Saha too

[tweaker]

Was that a another drop by Jadeja or he was late to attempt it

Saha always had problems collecting the ball cleanly. But it was masked by spinners' success earlier.

Saha is a poor keeper.I have said this a number of times.He isnt test match level.

Can we also consider the runout chances

[beetle]

We will have to get them out three times ..........

[tweaker]

cricinfo:

 

0.3 Mohammed Shami to Cook, no run, dropped! And it's Rahane of all people. Back of a length, angling into a fourth-stump line, and Cook plays an uncharacteristic shot, punching away from his body with no footwork and an open bat face. Flies to the right of gully, where Rahane gets both hands to it on the dive but can't hold on

1.2 Yadav to Cook, 2 runs, edged again. Length ball slanting across, maybe nips away off the seam as well. Cook doesn't move his feet again, jabs at it, and I'm not sure if the edge carries to Kohli falling to his left at second slip. Dies at it reaches him, and the runs away. Not sure it carried ... the TV commentators are convinced it was another drop

5.5 Yadav to Hameed, 1 run, put down again! This time it's Vijay at first slip. This is bizarre, and it's terrible fielding. Simplest of the chances so far. Low, by his feet, no need to dive. It's back of a length in the corridor, and Hameed pokes at it with hard hands and no footwork. Thick edge, going down towards Vijay's right boot, and he got both hands to it while sinking to his knees

112.5 Yadav to Stokes, 1 run, put down! Back of a length outside off and Stokes goes hard at it, slashes away from his body with an angled bat, and it was a few inches above the ground when it hit Saha's glove and popped out as he threw himself horizontally to his left

114.4 Yadav to Stokes, 1 run, another chance dropped! Wriddhiman Saha, what are you doing? Again it's shortish outside off, again Stokes slashes at it, again he gets a thick edge, and this time Saha doesn't even have to dive as far to his left. He gets both hands to it at a comfortable height and puts it down

Being too harsh. he is the best keeper in country. 

Just a bad day. 

I considered him a bad keeper before WI series but he did wonderfully well vs WI and NZ. Needs to work more i guess.

I didn't watch it but was it an easy stumping chance of a MSD level chance? 

He cant be MSD level, there will always be some misses.

People forget that he is also aging and his reflex is also going down. He probably has past his best keeping years.
