Phillips argued that some chances should not be counted as dropped catches at all when he was asked about New Zealand’s fielding errors during India’s successful chase of a massive target. Earlier, India bowlers created an unwanted record against New Zealand in 1st T20I.
Mitchell Santner failed to hold on to a difficult opportunity offered by Axar Patel in the 13th over, while Matt Henry could not complete a tough return catch off the same batter in the 14th over.
Glenn Phillips loses his cool after question on New Zealand’s 4 dropped catches
However, Glenn Phillips, who is known for his electric fielding, refused to accept all four incidents as dropped catches. He argued that Ferguson barely touched the ball and that the other difficult chances should not automatically be included in the count.
Phillips said after the match, as quoted by News18, "I mean, drop catches happen. Four? Which ones? Lockie? You’re counting two that no one got their hands on? Oh, yeah, so you guys are counting those? One from Mitch and one from Finn, so not really the other two; you’ve got to get your hands on the ball to catch it.”
Phillips questioned why such an effort should be treated as a dropped catch. He bluntly said, “Nathan at the boundary line? One that went for six? Wow.”

Phillips signed off by saying, “How many catches did you guys drop? Okay, so you guys want to start talking field, then you’ve got to count the proper catches. Catches happen, and dropped catches happen, but we need to be counting them properly, okay? You’ve got to get your hands on some of them.”
