nathan astle taking a very good catch

[nzkiwinzkid]

Remember watching this live & at the time thinking that's the best catch I've ever seen.

[TheReadingStudent]

Together with Collingwood's catch off Hayden, the two perfect pieces of athletic catching in cricket.

The thing I'm really impressed with is this is Astle, you can see him somewhere behind everyone watching the replay, he isn't a tall man, but he reeled that one in. I really was staggered watching that live.

simple really best catch ever!!!!

[wenzealand]

I was directly above him 4 rows back the whole place went off when he took that.

[BrownyTheKnife]

Same! Best catch I have ever seen. Although Sinclair's was right up there.

[fearfulbroom]

I was there!!!!!

[davi331]

Other people could have taken it but to have that awareness of the rope is the difference. NZ still misses him.

[thehurunui]

brilliant. i still think sinclair's against aus in 2004 was better though

[postmanpat09]

This is just insane.

[vaperram]

That catch is brilliant. In my books it is the greatest of the centuary. And you might argue that Paul Collingwood or Jhonty Rhodes catches are better but the fact that he had to lean over the boundary, take the catch, pull his arm back and then still keep his balance-unbeliveable. O and the commentator is Ian Smith.

[Feanaro5503]

Bring back Astle.

[fcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdf]

This without a doubt is the catch of the century so far

[silkroute1988]

[justyomumma]
