View Full Version : Ashish Nehra
He is easily the worlds worst fielder. :o
Now when an Indian misfields [a regular occurence],the commentators nearly always say "I'll bet it's Nehra".8/10 times they're right.
Graduate of the Phil Tufnell school of dumbarse fielding!

Why do they keep playing Nehra, dropping him would at least save you the 30 runs he misfields every innings.

I said it before and I'll say it again...
"He is easily the worlds worst fielder"
he is easily the worlds worst fielder :D
Apart from being easily the worlds worst fielder, I'd say he's slipped in the Indians bowling ranks over the course of this tour. He started out as clearly their number 1 or 2. Not too sure about that now.

Even a 3 year old can field better, at least the 3 year old can cover more ground
he is close for the uglyest man in the world as well

despite some pretty good performances from the Indians, he's the one guy who'd wanna forget this tour.
he's bowling has been tripe, he's clearly slipped down the pecking order a rung or two, and hes fielding has cost them 20-25-30 runs every single match.

Body language on the field ain't great as well, should drop him and tell him to go back to first class cricket and learn how to actually stop a ball properly before they even consider him again.

Nice couple of fours and a six of Dizzy though. He's probably buggered in the field becuase he sprints in so fast when he bowls - I get a good laugh at his bowling style and the lack of a jump at the delivery stride. He's certainly no WASI ACRIM! :D

It is an odd bowling style,but it's nothing compared to Andre Nel's run up style.

Its great though when someone misfields off his bowling, he has the hyde to shake his head in disapproval.

Ganguly does the same when someone misfields off his bowling.Ganguly isn't far behind Nehra in fielding ability.

How does Nehra go running between wickets? Does he run the other bloke out as often as Ganguly does?

Then Nehra has an excuse for all those misfields, "I do what my captain does!"
Two of the biggest tools in world cricket, Ganguly and Nehra

:p
The captain is suppose to set the example.
Ganguly can't bowl........neither can Nehra
Ganguly can't field ......... neither can Nehra
Ganguly's batting has gone backwards during the tour........Nehra can't go any further backwards [ #11]
Hell,these two could be twins.

I believe the test and county cricket board has asked him to come and get naturalised in England and thus be able to play in 3 years time...
it is hoped that his current fielding, but practicing with the Brits will be dragged down to the level expected of an Englishman.

Gee, imagine Nehra chasing like he is currently doing, and then catches like Matthew Hoggard! Comedy at its best!

His bowling action is bizarro!!! He runs like he's got a pole up him.

That could explain the problem he has in bending down to field a ball.

close, but Badahni takes that honour by a country mile.
While we are bagging out the Indians, what is the go with these arm protectors???? Fair enough in India where you will see bone by diving on their lush brown dirt, but here? It would be a joy to roll around on some of these grounds
inida are by far the worlds worst fielding side!!
even tendulkar would not make into a world XI fielding team!!
