Dropped Catches!
« on: August 23, 2021, 07:53:37 PM »
What are the reasons for dropped catches? Especially by the wicket keepers. It's interesting to know how fielders and keepers go through, going for a catch...

'Not being that good at cricket' usually. Add to that 'not practicing enough'. Does this really need a topic?

Not liking the bowler  ;)

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

At least you couldn't ignore 👍
What I've seen is that some catch easier than others.
I've seen keepers grabbing everything but when a comes they struggle to hold on seemingly easy ones.
Why does this happen often enough to make one think?

Last Saturday's match, our keeper caught every single ball, but dropped easy catch off me and then later a more crucial catch off a medium pacer, near the end of the match! Which can't be called a difficult catch.

Why do you bowl wides, no balls, full tosses, long hops? Unlike the guy dropping the catch (who has to react), you have complete control when you bowl… so why do you do it?

You should have compared catching with batting! That makes more sense!

why do you bowl balls that go for runs and don't bowl, trap LBW or nick off a batsmen every ball? same reason people drop catches, miss the ball, spoon it in the air... WE ARE ALL variations of CRAP.

Pressure and not wanting to let your team mates down. Practice plays a part (of course) but it is a pressure situation when you know everyone is watching you and seeing if you make a mistake.

i love bowlers who are like this - they make fielding/keeping a joy - they get annoyed at bad fielding, moaning that people miss field and drop catches - but heaven forbid a fielder saying something about their (No Swearing Please) bowling when they get hit for six
