Lack of defensive batting and bad slip catching - Sanjay Majrekar's explanation

[MenInG]

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Defensive batting & slip catching are two skills that are hardly needed in T20 & 50 overs cricket. Those are the two skills that have really deteriorated today. We are all products of our environment as they say.</p>— Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) <a href="https://twitter.com/sanjaymanjrekar/status/1027974806384402432?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 10, 2018</a></blockquote>

Both were required to some extent till 10-12 years back .... since then, cricket has come to "Modern" era and ODI has gone to 10th cloud. Hope, SM does share his thoughts about spin play as well in this dynamic era .....

Think he is also taking a swipe at T20 Leagues etc

He is way too soft. I would have murdered the batsmen out of words if I were a pundit and was tweeting after this shameful performance.
I don’t blame Manjeraker though, he is on BCCI’s payroll after all.

The criticism will get more intense if thing stay bad.... this is just the first playing day of the second test... it’s a five match series
