Astounding Catch - Bevan Small 'assists' Michael Mason

That's why the rope is kept inside hoardings at all times..they can't get near the field of play.
Still reckon Adam Dale's is possibly better. That was freakish. Sinclair's against Aussie up there as well, and a few from the Windies in the 70s and 80s I should think. Remember seeing one (think it was Clive Lloyd) fielding at leg slip - the guy flicked it around the corner and he would've have about 0.0001 second to react. But he grabbed it, nonchalantly almost. It was breathtaking.
Also I remember seeing a Martin van Jaarsveld one where he ran from slip down the leg side when seeing a guy sweep, and caught it back behind himself on the run. Freakish, although probably illegal.

I'd rank Astle's against the Windies back in 2006 (?) as well. No spectacular dive, but brilliant balance.
Just from a NZ standpoint I'd go
1. This one
2. Sinclair
3. Astle
(talking about boundary catches, of course)

I remember seeing that catch live. Easily the best catch I've ever seen actually at a cricket ground. You don't really get a full sense of how incredible it was from that video, he had to sprint about 15 yards to his right, dive and catch it about 7 feet off the ground.
Just love Martin Crowe's cry of disbelief from the back of the commentary box.

For some reason I see the words 'small breasts' in the thread title everytime I have a quick glance.
Leaves me sad to see such words.

Insane stuff. It's the first instance I've seen of a player flicking it to a team-mate from a proper full length dive over the ropes.

Nah, nowhere near as good. Small has taken the ball outside the field of play, after sizing it all up and never actually touched the ball with his feet on the ground. Bloody awesome.
Last year tried to do something similar myself at our home ground, except the ball was a bit too high, jumped up to try and grab it and landed on top of the fence, momentum took me backwards and knocked myself out.
