What goes through the mind of a fielding coach when a catch is dropped

#2 A spectator would have done a better job at that

With the rise in the viewership of the game of cricket, it has witnessed a tremendous rise in the number of the people turning up to watch the games live in the stadiums. As the batsmen send the ball sailing over the field, the ball goes into the crowd and some spectacular catches have been witnessed by the viewers, in the stand too.

Some grounds offer prizes if someone in the crowd takes a catch, something we had seen in the 2015 ODI World Cup in the games that were played in New Zealand. Seeing a dropped catch, a coach might even think of hiring spectators to field in place of the lesser acrobats in the team. He might also come across the idea of sending in a substitute fielder in place of him during the crucial stages in a match.
