Unfair on Ishant that dropped catch of Mccullum was a very tough chance....once again unlucky

Kohli only dropped 3??? surely I remember him dropping a lot more

I looked through once again, it looks like I missed 1 at Nottingham. So Kohli is up to 4 drops @ 91 per drop.

Just based on these last 4 overseas series and our recent England series, Shami has lost 11 wickets to dropped catches.

Looking at just Shami's adjusted strike rate, he would be one of the greatest wicket takers of all time, if he maintains this level of performance throughout his career and we could hold catches.
