You do manage to find some corkers. Best catch I’ve ever seen I saw live, but saw when Sky repeated it the next day. It was last summer, not long after Collingwood had taken that corker where he leapt backwards to take it one-handed. Jim Troughton’s catch for Warwickshire (I forget against who) was almost identical in style. He was fielding at backward point, to my memory, and had walked in a little too far, so ended up leaping a couple of feet backwards in the air to take it behind his head and well above it.
Of course, then there was that one I thought had been dropped at Leicestershire in the Twenty20 semi final this year, the amazing piece of fielding by Ryan ten Doeschate for Essex this year without realising it was a no ball (though at least preventing the boundary), and that slip catch by Andrew Strauss last summer.
Quite a lot of catches there, aren’t there. Odd how you always remember the amazing bits of fielding. Don’t remember the amazing shots quite so much.
