Define drop however you like (personally I define drop as when they either have the ball coming at their body or when they get the palm of their hand to it).
What's the worst drop you've ever seen?
Mine would have to be when, I THINK (it's a long time ago and I still can't find any documentation of the event online) it was NZ vs. either Aussie or South Africa in a day nighter and a NZ'er skied it bloody high and, to the astonishment of everyone on the field, managed to fumble it, once, twice, three, four, possibly even five times - all well within his grasp - just to see the ball roll away from him dead in the middle of the stadium. The bowler was on the ground by the end of it all. I wasn't even that bothered too much with thinking "Yay, we got let off!" but was more thinking "How the hell did you drop that one?"
If anyone knows where to find the commentary on that then let me know, I'd love it. I'm pretty sure it was when I was trying to remember when it was that I first posted in these forums, actually...
Yours?
