Smith's dropped a fair few easy chances at slip in recent memory and I can't really recall him taking any pearler's ALA the catch from the 1st test vs NZ in 2019, just faulty memory or are his reflexes/hand eye genuinly a bit off now?
By this I mean the real midget Warner or alternatively a non/lesser midget Khawaja, who actually wouldn't be that bad imo.
Warner was absolutely phenomenal at first slip during the 3rd test of the last ashes in england tbf, not a bad idea at all.
Well I think if you bag a glove at 135 clicks the batsman ought to know it happened. Terrible from Azhar.
Remember how some argued that Smith should be picked in ATG XIs for his slip catching?
I mean I don't think he's ever been like an ATG slipper or anything but he was always very reliable and very capable of the spectacular before the last six months.Remember how some argued that Smith should be picked in ATG XIs for his slip catching?
Look, we both know that was a stupid argument. Its not like Lara was not excellent at slip or Sachin ever put down anything in the slips.
Yup, disagree with Spark here. He's never been "reliable" in the way the best slippers are. Never a shock when he puts a simple one down.
Cummins looked pretty ****ing surprised tbf
It is a shock when he starts dropping more than he catches for multiple series though.
Clarke was bizarre because he was so completely dominant to anything to his left; would swallow absolutely anything vaguely near him on that side, no matter how difficult. Then he'd drop sitters if they were on his right.
