Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere, but that's some serious footwork and agility there!
-
Nah!!!!! Piece of cake! I'd have got that.
-
as a keeper of the highest quality... that is crazy!
-
Mental!
Would like to see the head cam shot from the batsman

Good shout on that. I love the disbelieving look back by Pereira as he's leaving the field as well, just reinforces what a great catch it was.
-
I still think that the Sarah Taylor one in the ashes is better.
-
Because it's Sarah Taylor? ;)
-
awesome take.
-
I was there!! Superb catch!
-
Sounds like the place erupted when he held it. 99% of the stadium must've thought it had passed him.
-
Good take though it is, it's not that spectacular. He was always travelling towards the ball, it's not as if he was going one way then had to dive the other. It's just a very good piece of anticipation, just like Sarah Taylor's catch.
For me, the best catches to see a keeper take are the ones where he's going down leg but has to dive well over to off, A La Matt Prior getting Haddin in the 5th Test
-
absolutely no way you should take any credit away from this piece of work - it's outstanding. watching in slow motion he's a good 4 feet off the ground and takes it when it's already past him. great work.
-
Agreed. I don't think there's that much anticipation involved tbh, just really great footwork. As a comparison, anyone who saw yesterday's ODI would have seen Matthew Wade miss one at full stretch because he didn't move his feet at all before diving for the ball. Just one step would have seen the ball straight into his left hand.
-
top catch! but pollard celebrating his own bowling like he had done something special.
-
Yeah I noticed how Pollard focused on himself, not the gun catch.
I suppose its payback for Pollard given some of the ridiculous catches he takes that the bowl celebrates!
-
The atmosphere at these games is unreal, so I think you can excuse players really getting into it and celebrating well.
-
Great take but remember that the ball is only going at around 105 kph... Very slow delivery!
-
Yeah the atmosphere was good when I went in 2010. Hauritz was taking stick from the Adelaide crowd when playing for NSW and started abusing an individual member of the crowd calling him a "fat b*st**d!". Suffice to say the big lad sat down and was quiet after he'd been shown up.
-
I bet its not as bad as some of the filth thats come out of one Doug Bollinger's mouth, crazy abuse!

Ludeman still had to get to it though. 105kph or not, that's still a difficult chance.

Not taking anything away from him! Brilliant footwork and decent technique!
