Sorry liam, i was merely recounting the story, I'm not going to rise, I clngratualted you on your catches. I apologise if I have annoyed you. No offence was meant to be generated, but if any was caused then you have my apology

i am just saying, i'm not really annoyed just trying to open your eyes to a couple things!

You can be yourself on this forum, you don't need to impress anyone.

Sorry if my comments were taken the wrong way and caused offence

Being 14 and just moved to a new school makes you want to impress people so sorry for that. No doubt I'll look back on this ruefully with a smile and see how wrong my former self was.

Every catch I take Is my best catch. I field at slip and gully. So when they stick it's worth it's weight in gold

I hope you do mate, its the only way people will learn. By it being pointed out to them.

Another note, sarcasm isn't always the easiest to spot over the internet. Try and tone it down!

Yes had that issue before

Bd, what club are you on the play cricket website for?

No one, just county, NOT A NAME DROP, JUST AN ANSWER TO A QUESTION

A couple spring to mind.

Caught + bowled Luke List had hit 150 off 30 overs drove ball back straight one handed head height , umpire thanked me as he wouldn't have got out of the way.

2nd slip jumped up at full stretch one handed plucked it out of the air.

Extra cover ball driven still rising jumped up one handed at full stretch

took a one hander in the T20 final this year on the boundary which was always nice...dont think their batsmane was too impressed as was going for a 6, but prob most renound for my fielding more than anything so personally id hope to catch anything i can get an hand/finger tip too....

Nice Tom!

My best catch was when I was playing last season, the opponents had a burly opener who had one of the biggest swings I have seen. He got right underneath one which managed to reach me at mid off.

Not a difficult catch in terms of distance covered, but the height on this one made it one of my better catches! Didn't help when I hear my West Indian overseas player laughing before I caught it. Would love to have known the 'air-time' on that one!

Yeah high catches are difficult...

Halfway back at Mid-on, the batsman clubs it high in closing overs of 40 over match and I chase towards the boundary, going down a slight hill. Stick my left hand straight up, leap a bit with the ball over my shoulder and it stuck. Batsman didn't see me take it so when the umpire gave him out he couldn't believe it.The look on his face was a classic. That's a good few years back now though.

I took one once at home against our "local rivals" when i was about 15, big guy smashed it towards our pavilion (hes on 48)  iv run a 20 yards round the boundary from deep min on and taken it diving full stretch one handed to stop the 6, he  hears people clapping and shouting thinks hes hit the 6 looks really happy with himself and raises the bat, then it slowly dawns on him that the kid theyv stuck on the boundrys caught him ....... priceless my top cricket moment (considering im 19 now its abit sad lol)

 the distance i ran round the boundary does tend to be exaggerated.......by some .......of corse i would never myself

I have seen some awesome catches by team mates this year!

And one by an opposition keeper. My friend flashed at a wide one and thought he got lucky and got it through 1st and 2nd slip. the keeper pulled out a full stretch reaction dive. My mate was gutted.
