Although am surprised to see England close to the bottom!

expected it to be a lot worse tbh, 1% seperates us and india , mid table.

These numbers are flawed.

It also about how many chances you create for the slip. England creates more chances than any other team, thus they would obviously have more catches and more drops aswell

India barely creates any chance for slips they play cricket on dustbowls.

I think a better stat would be number slip catchs that came

paks slip catching isnt that bad, imran butt is really good, and till he got dropped asad shafiq was up there too. the problem is that too many time non-specialists are in there. if the stats could be further broken down im sure the guys who are consistently in the slips have a much higher ratio than part time slippers, for pak at least.

but thats an issue of lack of first class and test cricket. u cant learn slip fielding in t20s and odis.

its a ratio, not nominal figures

Could be worse.

Well Imran Butt fixing that statistic very fast!

Need to find a legal way to play Imran Butt play as a slip fielder throughout the match without playing as an opener.

Are they really lagging? NZ, Aus and SA seem to be the top outliers. Around 80-82% seems pretty good otherwise.

England are the anomaly.

They have a lot of disruption in the position but so do many teams these days.

The 3 top are all countries who rely on bowling 4th stump on bouncy pitches (or nibbling seamers for NZ) to get their wickets. It's their bread & butter.

I'd expect a few more drops by nations taking a majority of wickets with spin- chances up close vs full blooded drives & cuts are very difficult, with keeper sometimes obscuring chances until last second as well- you at least get a decent sight at it usually when the seamers are operating.

England's slip fielding revolving door is hilarious. Root is the only stable guy around.

Bairstow would seem an obvious choice as regular slip but he is in and out of that cordon although he is a trained keeper. The ECB think tank look clueless in test cricket.

It would be interesting to see individual figures. Imran Butt seems to be brilliant in the slips and almost worth batting him at 6/7 just for his slip fielding as catches win matches.

Move him down the order to no.5 or 6
