At the womens world cup England dropped a handful of catches and were
eliminated. Some of the match reports appear to be blaming the dropped
catches, fair enough, but a player who dropped the catch doesn't
really get much of a mention.
The problem is with the fielding, not the drop. Then the 'learn
something from this, take some things away from this' come out. What
makes them think they will learn from this any more than they learned
the last time it was trotted out?

dunno but the hilights i've seen of the WC suggest the fielding has been
a bit of a joke except for RSA and oz, we dropped 5, pak dropped 8 in
their last game [shame the men didnt follow their example]. some have
suggested that they were literally blinded by the floodlights at this
game, but surely theyve played under such conditions b4?

I think england might have still won if knight hadnt got injured, after
that they just fell apart. But its very odd that game after game Eccles
comes in so low in the order when she is 1 of the biggest hitters we
have. The media have latched on to the fitness angle, and certainly
theres a huge diff between our players and the likes of OZ.

to be fair to the ladies, dropped catches have really cost england in
the current test match, if they hadnt dropped kamran when the score was
178-4, in the first, missed chances today, and so on.
