http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s adverse fielding mishaps – Cricket News Update
Following a delivery of dreadful batting display at the proceeding 3rd Test fixture at Edgbaston, in Birmingham, the Indian tourists went on to disappoint their audience by offering a much outrageous fielding performance on the 2nd
day of the fixture.
The visiting side did every best of what it could, to allow the English hosts to dominate the game, and in fact, the series itself.
During England’s batting session on the second day of the bout, the Indian fielders missed out on several opportunities by dropping off some potent catches, which according to experts, had the fielders made use of the opportunity, India might have had the
chance to turn the game in its favour.
However, what comes as much disappointment is that the drops came from some of the most boasted Indian players, known for having agile abilities on the field.
The team’s misery began with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447 dropping off, highlight batsman, Alastair Cook’s catch. The opportunity came off an edge produced by the batsman, leading the ball towards the leg slip, however, as a mishap for the side Gambhir went on to drop
it.
As for Cook, the opener trotted into making his notable batting come-back, following some sluggish performances on the previous two fixtures. The player marked a solid 182 not out performance.
On the other hand, for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229, what many referred to him for having ‘world’s safest pair of hands at slip’ too disappointed his side by missing out on two potent catches.
His first chance came in the closing moments of the 65th over, owned by Sreesanth. Offering a well constructed delivery, the pacer forced English batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IR-Bell-c1597, into producing a silly nick, edging the ball into the slips and with ease into
the hands of Dravid. However, for skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 and to the team’s disappointment, Dravid dropped the catch.
Dravid’s second falter came in just before the wrap up to the day after India’s star batsman stumbled again, giving http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eoin-Joseph-Gerard-Morgan-c56032 a breather. The opportunity came off Suresh Raina’s delivery, which was the 115th over of the day. The drop came as
a second chance for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Sreesanth-c2398.
Sreesanth too was added to the ‘mis-fielders’ list after dropping off Morgan’s catch, which the batsman produced from a delivery by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566.
