acrobatics and the out that wasn't...

al Furqaan · #1 July 23, 2007, 07:13 PM

mushfiqur rahim has come under a bit of scutiny for supposedly lacking pilot's know how in the wicket-keeping business. whilst, rahim certainly makes rookie mistakes, his keeping talent is obvious for all to see.

in fact, i just saw the replay highlights of rahim standing up to jayawardene (i think it was him) rasel induced the faintest of outside edges, and rahim bobbled the catch not once, but twice. then he dove to his left and fell to the ground, and then held onto the ball before it hit the ground. it was a stunning bit of juggling and acrobatics.

i have no doubt that within a year or 2, rahim's keeping will be better than pilot's ever was. this single catch is the proof.

i am not sure abt jayas out, but sanga was clearly not out...i dont know what they appealed for and why it was given by rudy.

i think sanga was out...i thought i heard a pretty loud nick...anyways benefit of doubt should have gone to batsmen...no one knows better than we do.

Care to comment on Dhoni's act to get KP out ( deemed not out correctly ) ? I don't know why he didn't say right away that it was on the ground before it reached his glove ..

Mushfiq is doing a great job at keeping and batting. In fact he is younger (face looks young too) than Pilot and his performance is batter than Pilot.

The wicket he juggled to get was actually a real wicket for your information. Mushfiq gives his heart into every match and that's why I like him as a player. Hope he keeps the good work up.

Great reflex by mushy for that catch... too bad there was not an edge.

I think his take is very rigid... the ball bounce from his hand a lot. I think he is a little slow off his feet. I agree with al Furqaan that Mushy will be a great keeper within a year or two. I think he has the best work ethic and attitude among the new comers in the squad. I think he will be somebody great like Sangakara!!!

There was an edge but not given.
