I was watching the India Srilanka Cricket series over the last few weeks and more so tthe last 2 games in T20. We have always known that the Indian team is a reluctant buyer of the aggressive fielding techniques. But, what was seen in terms of the number of catches that were dropped in just 40 overs (12 to say the least) is indicative of a generic problem that has not been addressed at all. Over the last few years, it might have been patched up with some good days, but to drop straight forward catches in the deep is reverting the good old days of the Indian Cricketers wanting to save laundry money..
It looked as if the Butter Manufacturers needed only to hire the Indian fielders to provide them with the source and cows can have a day off!!
Ishant can provide butter for 3 days a week in a regular basis and Nehra a couple of days.. But to see Yuvraj and Dinesh drop is worrying. Later they were joined by the new comers and youngsters of the team... May be there is a pandemic in the Indian Cricket team or there is a concerted effort to make the job of the new fielding coach more challenging! He will need to burn the fat fast.. real fast failing which he will become greased up!!
