All time great catches...

[Rachael]

The BBC Sport Website is using the recent Collingwood catch as an excuse to run through some all-time-great catches: see http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/5181666.stm

Great list, except where is Strauss' catch last year off Gilchrist???

[Quagmire]

Wheres Mark Waughs catch in cover. I cant remember who it was off but it was as good as any of those catches if not better.

[mudney]

I know exactly which one you mean, its on the back cover of his biography that I have. It looks pretty damn impressive

Does anyone remember Mark Taylor's catch at 1st slip when he fell backwards and spilt the ball? Somehow he managed to kick the ball up and catch it at the second attempt.

This is not the catch im thinking of but its just as good. World cup world final catch by Mark Waugh in slip off Glenn McGrath.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE36s...search=mcgrath

This is one of my favourite catches. Matthew Sinclair gets Matthew Hayden with a stunner on the boundary.

Has anyone got the video of Jonty RHodes' double-handed catch against England? I'd love to see that one again.

Best catch of all time, imo, though it aint on YouTube, was my catch for the 4th XI this year. In the wet, fielding at mid off, the blokes hit it hard but it was pretty far over me. I've decided to do the leap of faith, and probably haven't got that high in my whole life. Flung myself back and held on to it!

Seriously though, John Dyson's "Goalkeeper" catch would be hard to go past wouldn't it?

Tendulkar running round the boundary on his first tour of England took a stunning one handed catch in front of him.Also remember Ramprakash taking a stunner against South Africa which may have been at Headingley in 98.
