The costliest drops and misfields of all time

[ImpatientLime]

Something I've never seen done before

I'll get us rolling

Warne dropping Pietersen on 15 at the oval in 2005. A dolly that would probably have turned the game

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Amla was dropped a few times in his triple.

 

[Noble One]

Gibbs 1999.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Kohli dropping McCullum in his triple century innings.
Berhardien dropping Elliott in the World Cup semi.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Healy dripping Lara a few runs from the total in Barbados '99

 

[viriya]

Kulasekara dropped 2 world cups.

Gambhir in the 2011 ODI WC final
Samuels in the 2012 T20I WC final

Both at long-off.

 

[Gnske]

Giles dropping Ponting in 06 was a real killer

 

[viriya]

Kulasekara dropped 2 world cups.

Gambhir in the 2011 ODI WC final
Samuels in the 2012 T20I WC final

Both at long-off.

Gambhir was at 30 and went on to make a match-winning 97. Ind woulda been 68/3 in the 14th over..
Samuels was at 20 and went on to make a match-winning 78. WI woulda been 33/3 in the 11th over of a T20I..

Gambhir drop costing the WC is arguable, Samuels drop is undeniable since he single-handedly won WI the game.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Healy missing that Inzamam stumping.

 

[Dan]

That bloke who dropped Lara on 29 during his 501*

 

[watson]

Warne dropping Pietersen on 15 at the Oval, 2005.

 

[Noble One]

Courtney Browne dropping Steve Waugh at Sabina Park in 1995 was a classic. Such an important drop given Steve Waugh would go on and make 200 in such a tight situation for both the game and series.

 

[smash84]

Healy missing that Inzamam stumping.

This, and of course so many drops from Khatmal in the Sydney test and afterwards.

 

[SteveNZ]

That bloke who dropped Lara on 29 during his 501*

Was always under the impression it was 0? Or is that an old wives tale.

 

[Noble One]

Was always under the impression it was 0? Or is that an old wives tale.

I seem to recall he was also bowled off a no ball early in the innings.

 

[Zinzan]

KW being dropped from a top edged hookshot vs. SL when he and Watling scored that world record 6th wicket stand is worth a mention.. Would have been curtains had KW been dismissed at that point...

 

[OverratedSanity]

McCullum was dropped thrice in his 302 iirc.

 

[Zinzan]

Speaking of McCullum, his dropping of Dravid in the '03 WC game was one of the most *** annoying at the time... India were only chasing around 150 IIRC, but if could have been 22-4 when Dravid was put down with a regulation edge to the keeper.

 

[Shri]

Samuels dropped Guptill on 4 in the last WC's Quarter-Final and he made 237*.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Gilchrist dropping Tendulkar in Sydney on like 30, 200+ runs later.
