The fielding display in the first test were not as par the Australian standards. There were a number of mis-fields and dropped chances that eased things off for England to a considerable extent in the first test. As an instance, Joe Root was dropped on 0 in the first innings by Brad Haddin. He went onto score the game changing knock of 134 runs. Also, the Australian seemed to lack the Aussie spirit on the field. They failed to capitalize upon the pressure created by the bowlers on a number of runs. The fielding, as a unit needs to come good and with intent in the second test to fetch some hope for the team.
