Important issue raised by the writer here.

Tried to find some areas for poor slip fielding:

1. Slip fielders do not concentrate all time
2. They possition themselves far behind the wicket. Sometimes i question myself do they do it intentionally to keep themsleves safe? so that they can say the ball did not carry?
3. Because of Slow wickets in BD, not much catches travel to slips...to players do not have practice in domestic matches....and thats why BD is not able to produce specialist slip catchers.
4. Slip fielders dont expect catches to come their way...that hampers their concentration
