Notably, Waugh criticized Virat Kohli and Steve Smith for losing catches in the slips. On Day 1 of the Test, after Kohli had missed two opportunities, former Australia player Mark Waugh made the following observation while providing commentary: “Your legs have to be lot closer to be able to move quickly.” “Kohli was very high-up in his position. Should have stayed down a bit,” Waugh added offered. “He should have done a little bit better. Almost as if he wasn’t expecting it.”
