Adam Zampa's fielding

[Tom Flint]

Kuldeep Yadav is the only international cricketer I've seen whose captain has had to yell at them to actually pay attention to the game, multiple times in the game.

Mathew Sinclair filling in as backup keeper was interesting in that way. A couple of times the batsman and the bowler were ready but the umpire had to wait for the keeper because he wasn't paying attention yet.

He was a gun slip fielder though so I wonder how that worked.

It's a very good question. It can only be either laziness or terrible coordination/athleticism. Both of which seem to afflict spin bowlers at a disproportionately high rate

This is a chicken/egg situation tbh. Is lack of coordination, athleticism and fitness something which afflicts spinners? Or, as I strongly suspect, are the afflicted drawn to bowling spin?

Pretty clearly the latter, I don't think that's any secret

Miandad, obviously.

Or it could be Inzy.

Marlon Samuels

Though with Marlon, he may have had something to gain from all that and therefore, did it on purpose, unlike Kuldeep.

Slowest mover = Ashwin
Worst catcher = ?
Worst arm = Chahal

Chahal for catcher too

How do you know that's not the case with Kuldeep?

Zampa is the worst catcher IMO.

Ricky Ponting, head of strategy for the Hobart Hurricanes — who needed the Stars to win for the Hurricanes to make finals — was more scathing of Zampa, arguing it never looked like he was going to take the catch.

“Do you know what? I was going to call that,” Ponting said on Channel 7.

“As soon as it went up in the air I was going to call that. It is unbelievable how many catches Adam Zampa puts down. It doesn’t get any easier than that. That is an absolute sitter.

That’s the fourth catch that Adam Zampa has put down in this tournament. I remember quite a few as well in the green and gold. In the T20 World Cup there were a few went down there."

Fawad Ahmed has been especially bad lately. Even back when he was playing club cricket in Melbourne everyone knew to target him

 

[ataraxia]

Zampa can't even Mankad ffs

Unless they barbecue Brian Lara, then you will.

The only reason anyone would do that here would be to get at me anyways, so by then it wud be well deserved.

I once saw Chris Martin miss a catch in a domestic one-dayer because he was eating a banana at fine leg.

I was there when he bbq’ed himself on 277 at the scg in 92/93.
