Give your dream slip cordon

[subshakerz]

Yes they are the the best, even today. Thise catches are run of the mill nor standard. Faf was equally superb and an ATG in the discipline, and for him they would be equally stunning.

By modern SA standards, except for perhaps the leg catch, the rest won't be talked about after the game. They would be called good catches.

I expected him to get at least one vote.

He had huge hands like buckets.

Whats your dream cordon?

 

[subshakerz]

I didn’t expect so many votes for Taylor, he was great but I thought folks would go for Sobers. It’s an all Aussie cordon then,

Then I'm convinced you really don't understand what great catches are, but I determined that a while ago discussing Steve Smith.

Reminder you called Steve Smith elite and then walked back that opinion.

He has elite skills where he gets to balls that others wouldn't.

But he's inconsistent in a way the true elites aren't. It's not straight forward.

ABD will carry more great catches for me at third slip than Richardson.

I was talking about Smith.

And you can have what ever opinion you wish

Who cares about Smith.

ABD is the best third slip.

I was responding to a point you made.

And good of you to settle that for all of us

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I'm saying that the quality of slip fielding has definitely declined across the board.

NZ were the best in the world 5 years ago and now we are terrible.

And it costs games

 

[Prince EWS]

No I think I'll keep it, get your own.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

And it costs games

Agree. Cost us 1 (possibly 2 tests) against England in the last couple of years and perhaps one against SL as well.

You're welcome.

If I recall, England selected Phil Sharpe initially for his slip catching.

So was Simpson and Sobers to only a slighly lesser extent.
