Dravid reaches most catches in Test cricket

The earlier fumbling catch off Guptill was Dravid 181st, taking him level with Mark Waugh for the most catches in Test cricket. "Let's hope he gets a pair and then gets dropped," Waugh had said when Dravid was getting close to the record during the home series against Australia in 2008. Maybe Waugh's wish to keep the record a little longer is working. When 182 came Dravid's way, he was a microsecond too late to react at first slip and dropped Vettori, who was on 77 at the time. Vettori went on to score 118.
