Best ever run out

[Julian87]

It's the best I have ever seen.

 

[Furball]

Another nomination would be Warner running out Bell.. One stump to aim at and Warner was fielding near the boundary.

Pretty sure the group stage game between Australia and South Africa in the 2007 World Cup turned on a single stump run out from the boundary. IIRC de Villiers was the one run out but I can't remember who the fielder would have been. My memory's telling me it was either Johnson or Lee but I don't think Johnson played at the tournament and Lee was definitely injured.

Shane Watson IIRC.

Skip to 13:27

Very similar to this Bavuma effort but he wasn't completely airborne and so it was only half as cool. Angles for Bavuma were also more tricky.

That was brilliant by Rohit.

It's so incredibly hard to say any moment is the "best ever".

However, thinking about it and even watch some of Jontys best highlights, Bavuma's may seriously be the best ever. At least athletically speaking. His feet were above his head!

What makes it even more special is that it was Australias' most dangerous Batsman.

It would have been better if the Aussies chased 380, rather than 540. Yeah, nitpicking a bit here.

 

[Biryani Pillow]

Derek Randall running out (I think) Rick McCosker in the Leeds Test 1977.

Struck like a hungry cobra.

It wiped all thought of the unimaginable dream occurring just when it was starting to be imaginable. Epic timing.

A lot easier to achieve when you're 4' tall tbf

 

[cnerd123]

I saw this happening live.

Absolutely ridiculous.

None of the greats were particularly tall though. It's only a few inches between them all eg. Rhodes and Warner. Ponting and AB being the 'taller'.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

That is damn hilarious.

 

[sledger]

Probably that time Ponting was run out by Gary Pratt.

Though, on reflection, it's hard to beat an Inzamam run out. They were always highly amusing.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Probably the most IPL gif ever

 

[SeamUp]

As ever another great interview by Ali Bacher in the 'in conversation series' and this was with AB de Villiers. Hopefully put up on here if gets on internet but totally forgot about this genius run-out.

Some quite revealing words from Sachin Tendulkar as well in the programme about AB's genius and how he will go down from the era.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

That's a great runout and accentuates the disappointment when De Villiers started keeping. He's as good in the field as anyone, similar to Mark Eaugh with the freakish stuff he can do.

 

[Compton]

The Bavuma one is special, but it's the ABDV run out of Katich for me. All day long.
