Exhibition of catching

[Pluto]

Can you remember matches where one team took 3 or more brilliant catches which helped them win? I came across these 5 catches in one match

That India in Sri Lanka test where there were at least 10 ridiculous close in grabs.

Mark Taylor took four catches in an ODI v the Windies in 92-93 where Australia got rolled for 100 and won. Two were species and IIRC he got MOTM for his catching, which is probably the only time I've heard of that happening.

Pretty sure wicket keepers have on occasion got motm for taking big bags of catches and possibly stumpings without big scores off their bat before, especially in tests.

But it is rarer for a non-keeper I agree.

Here's a nice little list of some more non-keeper examples in odi, Taylor is #4.

Pushing the boat out even further, apparently Jonty Rhodes may have got motm for his catching in a schoolboy game when not even in the playing XI. But this could just be an old wise tail.

Didn't Jonty Rhodes win a MOTM award for his fielding?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yep, he took 5 catches in an ODI against WI, 3 of them incredible grabs.
