Your favourite catches

Reading the BBC website today, I came across this page - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/5181666.stm and thought it would make a good thread.

What stands out for you as the best catches you've seen?

For me, I would say Matthew Sinclair's catch in Melbourne against Australia where he dived one-handed to his left on the boundary. And Nathan Astle's catch at Christchurch on the boundary in the most recent Chappel-Hadlee series.

The Dale one is quite phenomenal. There's been lots of great catches in test cricket, but that might be better than any of them.

Martin Snedden's great catch to dismiss Greg Chappell in THAT one-dayer in 1981.

Oh, hang on - Chappell wouldn't leave...

My favourite catch is definitely the

Jones....Bowden....Kasprowicz the man to go

one from the nail-biting, sphincter-loosening denouement of the 2nd Ashes test in 2005. Not for any particular merit of the catch, just that I've never celebrated one more. :)
