Read Roger Binny's article and you will laugh--one series win in England in his days and they talk as if they conquered the world--they comment on fielding--he should see some video shots of himself and his peers fielding/irresponsible batting and bowling before giving expert views. They are all ICL stooges who have suddenly discovered love for cricket and country.

The time at which they were fielding is different.They were not having so called "fielding Coach" at that time.The Current Indian team is having all facilities and still don't know to field.

agreed--but forget catching--have you seen a Prasanna or any one else with the same girth running or chasing a ball--the only agile fielder was Eknath Solkar.

You are absolutely wrong dear. Binny was an athlete before he ventured into cricket. He had a superb rhythm as a bowler and he was a capable and reliable fielder. There are occasions when he fell flat on the ground and stopped the ball with his belly or body (obviously bearing stinging pain)to prevent certain fours.
Probably you saw the video clippings of fielding by the likes of Mohinder Amarnath, Anshuman Gaekwad, Yashpal Sharma and have thrown the stone at the wrong tree!
