He is not. For sure. He is at best a mid on/off fieldsman. He has to step up his fielding game pronto. Sammy's new look cannot include players who cannot catch and there are already better batsmen than him in the wings.

Mitchell Starc to John Campbell, FOUR, just over third slip! A back of a length ball on off, shoots off the deck. John Campbell is caught in an awkward position. He is late to take his bat out of the way and it runs of the face behind. The fielder leaps but it evades his outstretched hand and runs away to the fence

A thing that makes braffit vulnerable is that he hangs back and allows the ball to move laterally

Mitchell Starc to Brathwaite, out Caught by Webster!! There's the breakthrough! Good piece of bowling from Mitchell Starc! He bowls in the corridor of uncertainty and gets it to seam away slightly. Brathwaite is caught on the crease and has a poke at it only to get a thick outside edge towards second slip. It's dying on Webster but he does well to crouch and takes it with both hands in front of him.

Mitchell Starc to Keacy Carty, FOUR, fractionally overpitched well outside off, Keacy Carty leans towards it, opens his bat-face and carves it nicely through backward point to get off the mark with a boundary

He stabs at the ball late. Very poor technique to really quick bowlers who move the ball laterally. When he was younger he could get away with it but as you get older, those micro seconds to get the bat in place matters.
