John Dyson's catch

[ian_cricketweb]

Does anyone have any photos or video of John Dyson's catch to dismiss Sylvester Clarke in 1982?

Many (me included) consider it to be far and away the best catch ever. That's a big statement, but it's mainly in response to Channel 9's top six video of the "best ever" which has been doing the rounds. (unfortunately that's a 100mb file, and probably copyrighted so I can't post it anywhere). The catches in their top 6 are very impressive, but to not even include Dyson's catch, not even in their collection of other catches outside the top 6, is downright insulting.

I was trying to convince some of the young guys at work who don't remember it, but I don't have any footage to back it up. Anybody got any links for me?

cheers,
Ian

Clearly that's not my real name. My real name is Ian Baggygreen.

I don't have any footage sorry, but yes it was a great catch.

I showed the catch to my father, and he said 'his was fielding out of position'

What a brilliant start to a CW posting career.

Give that man a skull.

Don't mean to **** on everyones bon fire, but I consider that to be one of the most overrated things in sports history.

why?

why?

Mainly because of people saying things like:

My dad also agrees that it's the best catch he's seen. I, however, do not. Im impressed at his ability to take the catch when it was behind him, but thats about it. I've seen bigger leaps, and catches taken with one hand opposed to two. I just throw it in the 'meh' pile.

That's not too say its not a good catch, don't get me wrong. I just find it overrated.

Adam Dale's in a MMC match springs to mind for me...

 

[33/3from3.3]

Great catch but like Benchy said 'meh'
Also lovin' that seagull flying past as Yardley bowls
