I'm not sure they were utterly irrelevant, in all honesty. Set the wrong tone for the chase (nominal as it was) to come.Richard said:I really wish people would get real on this.
2 UTTERLY IRRELEVANT DROPPED CATCHES?!?!?!?!
Especially when, as Jack has mentioned here (and as countless people have mentioned before) they are the first catches he's put down in the entire year.
As for not being in form with the bat... if Jones (a very poor one-day player) can make 71 in a ODI, that's enough for me... he's in decent nick, and you could tell that by the way he batted in the first-innings.
Yes, he got out brainlessly in the second, but I think most of us are used to that by now.
for the Glovework..deffo...for the batting...prolly not.Craig said:And is Chris Read a better replacement?
Or we could just blame it on those growing up in the Beenleigh/Logan area (between Brisbane and the Gold caost if you don't know; Brisbane and the Coast is an hour's drive/train ride).

He merely confirmed the fact that he is below par as a test keeper and barely serviceable as a batsman.Richard said:I really wish people would get real on this.

It doesnt matter if they are irrelevant (and actualy they wernt because they drained confidence even further) the fact is that he dropped 2 easyish catches for a test keeper and next time they might be a lot more costly. The fact is that it underlined once again that jones keeping is not up too test standardRichard said:I really wish people would get real on this.

His shot in the second-innings was terrible, without doubt - but like I say, we're used to that - I've lost count of the times he's got out to a shot which reflects his lack of a cricketing brain more than his poor shot-selection.BoyBrumby said:I'm not sure they were utterly irrelevant, in all honesty.

I'm not advocating dropping Jones, but the shot in the second that lead to his dismissal was poor. He is in ok form with the bat (it took a belter from Lee to get him first up), but in the context of the match that shot was brainless.

But the chase was doomed long, long before Jones dropped those catches - it'd not have been any better if he'd caught them.
Any pretence that they did any harm to anyone is purely theoretical.
