BEST CATH EVER

@AFLmasters absolutely, John Dyson, doing in 1981 what took years for others to emulate, this catch changed what cricketers believed they could do. 'cos he was a goalkeepes and apparently a very good one.

The best ever

[dudethisisstupid]

[woodstar71]

Still too this day, the best catch ever

[virgo362000]

@woodstar71

I totally agree the benchmark for all other catches in any form of cricket

[bigmaxy07]

Definitely best catch ever. I remember it when I was a kid.

[MrDeucelow]

I piss myself laughing everytime I see this because it looks for all money like he's missed it - then he goes up like a salmon and pulls in an absolute classic. Unbelievable catch.

I was a student at Caringbah High in Sydney and John Dyson was a PE Teacher there before the South African Rebel tour. He loved talking about that catch all the time, but when your 13 you didn't mind listening to him.

I was at the SCG sitting the Brewongle Stand and saw this live. Couldn't believe my eyes then or now, almost 30 years later.

[customanalogue]

Yep, this is the one!

[newromantic888]

Actually Martin Sneddens catch is the only one that comes remotely close. However we wont dwell on that.

[newromantic888]

Hello mate. Thanks for picking up in your beige Sigma. Sorry I said u taught maths.

[gunthernorman]

evidence that ian chappell is a acunt

[jgaskell]

Most definitely the best catch ever. All of the clips here labelled "Greatest catch ever" and "Catch of the century" are way behind this one.

@jgaskell

Hey mate, I agree that this is a genuine all time greatest contender. My point is, I have been looking for a catch taken by Jonty (most likely) against NZ in NZ. There Jonty ran backwards considerably, was unsighted for a while, was off balance when he took the catch and almost took it off his wrong hand. Problem is, I have forgotten which specific match it was and other info. I just can't find that video too here. Do you remember anything bout this catch or match? Thnx in adv.

@yaanni

Sorry, I don't know that one.

[saautoparts]

that wasnt that good he had plenty time collingwoods are better because he had way less time too judge it

[ozwunder69]

@saautoparts maybe when you watch the slow-mo, otherwise no

[MrKool72]

Best catch of all time, nothing else comes close. Ahhhh, the good old days........

[Dovelike]

In my opinion it is the best catch ever. From a spectators point of view it definitely is the best catch ever to watch.

[doonks]

saw it live, was a life moment.

Truly amazing!

[matchlessmingler]

Fantastic catch.....probably the best ever!

Thanks for posting!!!

[Dovelike]

Brilliant catch and I was just thinking how much more entertaining cricket was in the 80s.

[mickpara]

I was only a kid at the time,and i clearly remember watching this live..Sendational!Best catch ever in a test match in my opinion..

[IanGorton]

Absolutely brilliant
