That's fuccccking craaaazzzyy!

PB linked it on chat earlier, flowering insane. Almost got a hat-trick in that match as well I believe.

[elephants]

Hahaha, some are saying the best ever!! :o

[Jay]

Doesnt come close to Mcgrath's catch in the outfield ;D

[Nige]

Don't think there are too many better than Boult's effort, if any.  :o

This has always been the catch I've considered the greatest, but I think Boult's wins, only because it's his opposite hand.

Was a ripper that one!

Boults was probably the best but some of these are pretty sick.

played my first game for club today  (local grade)  with a couple of mates

I came in at 2/40, batting at four, and then our opener got out so it was me and my mate both on naught with the score 3/40. He and I put on 89, and he made 66 of them   ::)   But I managed to chip away with him and then the No. 6 (who made 29 before getting out the ball after me) while I made a pretty slow 27 - creamed a pull shot straight to mid-wicket who took it on the dive. When I got out it was 5/171

Didn't win but it was nice to get some good runs on the board! Haven't really had many opportunities at school level so this was my first innings batting above 9 this summer haha

Fielding 112 overs in 1 weekend is too much :-X

[NoButYeah]

Halfway through our season so far, my first year captaining and we're currently just out of the top 4 by half a game. I'm also the only batsmen in the team to have made more than 100 runs this season  :-\ Hopefully we can get our shower together in the run to finals

Dad's work had a cricket match on today against some other peeps, and I got to play to make up the numbers. First time playing in a few years. It was 25 overs a side, and I had to open the batting as no-one else wanted to. Top scored with 36, with a few boundaries in there. Opened the bowling as well, took 1 wicket off the first over with my good old outswingers to get the edge. Took 2 running catches as well, and a runout. Almost took an absolute sccreamer in the last ball of their innings, fielding at mid wicket and the ball went just over my head, jumped up and back and just got my fingertips to it.

Now my legs are absolutely flowered, but was good to play again :)
Wouldn't mind starting up again this year.
