    Good lord. I always wondered if it was possible for a fielder to do that, and now I’ve seen it … it seems even more unlikely! Amazing.

    that’s awesome. Funnily enough I was just reading this very scenario in an example test for becoming a cricket umpire in Northern California…. :)

    My dad took a high catch on the boundary 2 seasons ago, held it perfectly, but just as he was getting his balance to make sure he didn’t fall over the boundary, his hat fell off and landed over the rope…
    The umpires called it a 6!! He wasn’t very happy about it, but i guess it kinda makes sense, he a batsmans gear or clothing takes the bails of he is out, its kinda the same…

    Elliott, that has to be about as cruel as it gets in umpiring, surely!

    I remember seeing something like this being given not out as the rule stipulates that the player must be in the field of play while the catch is being taken. Think it was Yuvraj Singh who held the catch….

    Rasif, you used to be right. Until 2000 the law said that the fielder had to remain in the field of play ‘throughout the act of making the catch’ (i.e from first handling until complete control over the further disposal of the ball). In 1999 this incident would have been ‘Not Out’…
