took one in a midweek league game, just behind square on the leg side, the batsmen mooses it off a full toss straight at me i never saw it and somehow managed to take a diving catch haha.

the next a week later, fielding deep midwicket, and its one of them games where you have to score your on team cuz its a midweek league, so the other team asking me the name all of sudden i hear my named shouted and the ball comes flying towards me, thought was at first, i should at least make an effort and not bottle it, came charging in and somehow caught it on my arm and chest like, the inside of my elbow if you get me, like rocking a baby haha :)

ive taken some screamers and dropped some sitters in my time! The one catch that stands out is a full lengh dive at mid wicket to take an absolute bullet during an under 15s game, you get such a buzz from taking the special ones!

Ive taken some nice ones this year, but the best Ive seen was from an opponent... who only had one arm!

The ball was struck solidly to the side of his disability yet he leapt, contorted his body so his back was facing the batsmen and caught the ball like it was the easiest thing he'd ever done. It was the most incredible catch Ive ever seen and proof, if it was needed, that cricket is for all types. His batting wasnt bad either, though I wondered about the rules if we had caught him off of the prosthetic attachment he used as the "top hand".
