Dravid played 164 matches , Mahela played only 149 , if he played 164 as well , He must be leading in the list with amazing number of catches , he's an expert ❤️
I think you mean _tactical_ positioning not _tactful_ positioning? Both are obviously right at the top level in terms of slips catching skill but I'm still voting for Mark Waugh, whose catches per match stats are about 1.5 while Jayawardene is more like 1.3. Stats cannot tell you the whole story of course and for players who have only a few matches they can be completely inaccurate but over the longer run they can reveal a very great deal. Waugh also had a unique way of fielding in slips which is alluded to in a masterclass video featuring Shane Warne, Ian Healy and Ricky Ponting. It's another fun video in this masterclass series and well worth a look if you haven't seen it already.
"why did u retire"..that was probably a good question to a player who was in good form when retiring...and also srilanka were struggling without experienced players. But mahela had already replied elsewhere " its not the match performance that is difficult for me...its the off match practise and training which tires me"

Jacques Henry Kallis has to be the greatest player to ever play the sport of cricket, to be 3rd on the list of getting runs and taking catches along with number of scalps he collected as well, forget allrounder, batsman, slipfielder, he is the greatest player PERIOD.
In terms of stats, Kallis is the greatest, in terms of quality, Sobers was the best (didn't seen him play apart from youtube footage but read lots of articles and admiration from the players who saw him or played with him)

that catching during the drill was crazily good
You lose so much ability so quickly when you stop playing as well. Can't imagine how good he must have been.
His brilliance was under spotlight for me and glad they brought it up here. Absolutely brilliant isn't he
He’s still got it Mahela
Oh well it was good to see the footage of the actual game...
Copyright issues
😂
😂😂😂
Hahaha
You know what copyright is right?
He retired from playing 5 yrs ago ... Wow he still got the skill
This was filmed in 2016, not long after he had retired from internationals. Still crazy impressive.
What a legend! Apart from being a terrific cricketer,what a master coach he is.
Mumbai Indians owe a lot to this man too.
So true. Great tactician in cricket!
What a team it was.. Mahela,Murali, Dilshan,Sangakara, Malinga,jaywardhane.. Absolute legends of the game
Also don't forget Chaminda Vaas
Jaysuriya
SL🔥
Mahela Jayawardene probably the most greatest slip catcher ever. He has amazing reflexes even at 43! What a player he was for Sri Lanka.
Mark Waugh was
@@jetpark3743 I'd say Mahela. His tactful positioning was master-class even before catching the ball.

His reaction time at that age is impressive!
Hope you all enjoy this masterclass from the slip catch master himself! 🙌
From rights reasons, a very small portion of this video has been blurred.
You mean all of them?
@Sky Sports Cricket Please upload Warne's indoor leg spin masterclass
How Sky Sports couldn't get the rights for this is mad
Mahela at slip is an emotion we crave to feel once more 😢❤️
Truly jaywardene is a legend
Imagine this guy works as your coach??
Mumbai Indians are really lucky to have him as a coach!
I am really proud of you Mahela as a Sri Lankan !
Superb explanation by mahela..absolute legend❤️
“You don’t want miss anything from murali” brohh😂♥️🔥
Mahela Jayawardene, what a player ❤️

Love that at the bottom of the most prolific bowler/catching duos is Anil Kumble and......Anil Kumble
Hes on another level.
Yeah he was a great slip fielder off his own bowling.
Ran quickly to the slip position after bowling and before batsman edging.. amazing bowler 👌

Amazing Anil Kumble catching off of his bowling stats
I have seen him from school cricket, we learned from him from those days!!!
Such an under-rated cricketer
He’s still sharp as a knife!! 🇱🇰👌👌✊
seems like kumble never misses caughtnbowled
35 is crazy
Word on the street is that Jayawardene could also bat pretty well!
The best slip catch fielder ever produced by any team ❤. No doubt.
wow, the close catches were 😍 He is still killing 🤩
Look at Anil Kumble. Wow!
Many caught and bowled wickets from him
0:45 How the ef did Anil Kumble caught and bowled at the same time?! Amazing!
Those footages were brilliant I didn't miss any. Thank You SkySport 🥴

That Drill Was Speechless 🥶
Amazing!
0:47 yeah anil kumble and anil kumble combination was fantastic... they could read each other’s minds even..😂

Pretty hard to argue with that. Gary sobers maybe, or don bradman
In terms of stats, Kallis is the greatest, in terms of quality, Sobers was the best (didn't seen him play apart from youtube footage but read lots of articles and admiration from the players who saw him or played with him)
Sir Garfield Sobers for me, and then Kallis.
Kallis is the greatest cricketer in my books too. Its just unbelievable what he has achieved in this game.
What a legend 😢❤
Only if test cricketers stopped playing naked on the field, TH-cam didn't have to censure them.
Why did you retire 🥺
Mahela ❤️❤️❤️👍👍 srilanka
That's our boy
Proud Sri Lankan 🤟
As good a player as anybody ❤️
i have also the doubt, "why did you retire"
Legend ♥
Sl legend ❤🇱🇰
Can any one tell me the name of the equipment they used to practice the slip catches i donno wht the name of it reaction pad may be??
Mahela is a super golfer now.
Mahela and Slip = Combination
0:46 Kumble took 35!! catches off his own bowling 😯
Lucky Mumbai Indians ❤️😍
True 🐐
Good analysis

Proud of you 🎉
0:45 Anil Kumble Bowler & Fielder
Were all these Caught n Bowled ?!
Yes. Most caught and bowled 35 tied with Murali. But Murali played a match more than him.
At 0:44 , bowler Anil Kumble fielder Anil Kumble.
@ncfcleeyaa I got that, when batsmen tried to flick.
Anil Kumble-Anil Kumble making the list.
Class!!
Only Sri Lankans reveal their techniques like this
But the catches are blurred?
What are they using to catch
Mark Waugh ❤️❤️
why the screen was blurred!!!!
Still better than the current players
Better than current SRL players
@00:47 anil kumble catching his own catches
Why blur out the catches if you are trying to show something?
Probably because of youtube copyright
@@chiragchahal5037 true true but there is a valuable lesson to learn here if you are an aspiring young cricketer

Whats with the blur?

Past matches must have had copyrights issue hence the blur. For a moment I thought my screen had steam
Did u guys see Anil kumble has got 35 catches off his own bowling 🧐🧐
0:44 anil kumble/anil kumble
Just came here to see Rahul Dravids name on the top
Lol the first viewer 💯💪🏼
My favorite always is Sir Rahul Dravid top on that list
Mahela 149 matches. If he played further easily could have been at the top
2-1 by Anil kumble sir ...
🥰🥰🥰
Maiiaaa😊
Did anyone notice the combination Anil Kumble-Anil Kumble
