Also vandemataram just because you don't find me funny, I'm not your cup of tea to put it another way (probably as I keep finding problems with India as a team), it doesn't mean other people don't think differently, and calling them a "batallion of servile flatterers" is actually very insulting, now if you do that again I'll report you.
Well I wouldn't call them the best but they aren't bad.Originally posted by Sunil Havascar
would you mind explaining your vote for england cosmiccoyoete?
i reckon they are pretty poor in the field personally.
Hmmm odd, I've never used the long barrier myself, I've just used my hands and get ready to throw straight away...Originally posted by Sunil Havascar
`The english fielding is just too defensive. Collingwood really lifted them last night and that was good to see. But I will never get over Ronnie Irani's long barriers at mid off to a rolling ball straight to him while the aussies are taking a cheeky single.... of course, its not cheeky t all if the fielder is doing long barriers!
Well I stop it by using my hands, diving and using my hands or slide stopping (which I do too much of and it took skin off once), I've dived forwards to flick the ball back before it crosses the boundary a few times, once I ended up rolling head over heals into the side of the pavillionOriginally posted by Sunil Havascar
The long barrier is like, so last century!
no really it is. a good fielder should trust their hands, especially since the ground thos guys are playing on is like a carpet, no excuses eh...
the only time i use a long barrier is on a particularly bad lumpy bumpy field or if the ball has been cracked at me and the batsmen are not running.
Almost all the sides have 4-5 very good fielders . While NZ, AUS and RSA have almost all the fielders who are very good.Originally posted by Bazzaroodoo
Nice idea Sunil.
I think England have some very good fielders. Flintoff is a very good catcher, as is Trescothick. They both have great hands and rarely drop anything. Then there are the groundfielders like Collingwood, Knight and Hussain who is excellent and always has been.
Actually back in the day I seem to remember Atherton being a very athletic fielder before he duffed his back in. I remember one great diving catch in particular.
