• 20 Best Catches in Cri...

[@Mirrorgirl492]

That one that you weren't impressed with, was about the incredible anticipation and reading of where the ball was going from the First Slipsman. He ran before the delivery to a position to catch a nick from the Batsman. That one was one of the most incredible pieces of Cricket...that's why it is included. You have the very best Sports Reaction Channel, love your work.

[@supmeyisi8490]

It's very difficult to anticipate going to the opposite side of where you were and still make a catch while on the move. Normally at slip you stand still and wait to catch the ball so that is way harder than he made it look.

[@wayback479]

I agree that catch was very impressive 😮

[@warwickofnorwich]

You beat me to it. I was going to say the exact same thing. Normally that ball would have gone down to fine leg. You don’t see many slips fielders take a catch on the other side of the wicket.

[@Sal19732]

Yes, we’ll pointed out. But isn’t there a rule that the fielder can’t move until the ball is delivered. That one looked close!

[@0Zolrender0]

@@Sal19732 You are correct with the infield close catching positions needing to be stationary until the ball is released by the bowler, but in this case you can see that the fielder does not move at all until the ball is about 1/3 down the pitch. He can see its passing down leg side and moves to anticipate a possible catch.

[@toddjames7]

The one you were not impressed with was probably the most impressive. He anticipated where the ball was going to go and caught the ball with his left hand when he is right handed. It was a brilliant bit of fieldinig. He would not have seen the ball come off the bat.

[@shmick6079]

The anticipation shown in that one you didn’t like was incredible.

[@berranari1]

Yes, the fielder anticipated the shot direction and changed his position before the ball was hit.

[@shmick6079]

@@berranari1 I assume it was planned with the bowler, which just makes it more impressive.

[@jayweb51]

Crossing behind the wicketkeeper, you temporarily lose sight of the ball; catches like that are as much spectacular as a stretch, as the fielder has to pick up the flight of the ball in a split second.

[@theshrubber3730]

I don't think you understand how difficult that catch behind the wicket was. It doesn't have to be spectacular to be good. The way he read what the bowler and the batter were going to do was amazing.

[@0Zolrender0]

@10:50. The catch you thought should not be in there. The reason it was is because it took a lot of correct anticipation from the fielder to position himself correctly to even have an attempt at the catch. Then to take it one handed as he moved to his left was quite a feat, given he was only meters away from the batsman.

[@shmick6079]

Like footy, these fan made “greatest ever” videos are only the tip of the iceberg. Plenty of my favourite catches weren’t on here. Some of the best fielders for both catching and run-outs that I’ve ever seen are Jonty Rhodes, Mark Waugh, Ricky Ponting and Andrew Symonds.

[@sirplus3284]

Lmao Jonny you going to make them mad 😡 in the comments. Because you don’t understand the fielding positions , it’s the reaction time a player has to catch . Behind the the wicket is a lot harder than in front 😂

[@gartgreenside3657]

I don't think he gets how hard and fast that very hard ball is coming at close fielders.

[@paulcaswell2813]

@@gartgreenside3657 The reactions needed to field close-in are from another dimension.

[@rocketrabble6737]

There was some great catches there, but that is one of many collections of great catches. There was little in the way of close catches around the bat and particularly in the 'slips' which are so difficult and require incredible concentration. A first slip might have to stand, switched on concentrating, for almost a whole day of test cricket (six hours) and just when everybody else is looking forward to getting off the field, a shower, a drink and food, a 'blinder' comes along and he/she has to take it for the team.

[@user-hf3vy3hu7i]

Johnnny, don't forget how close the catcher is from the bat. In the outfield you have time. When only 15- 20 feet from the bat you have VERY little time to react ( Jonty Rhodes examples, only 20 feet from bat and hit well !)

[@theooberholzer3734]

That ball was traveling close to (if not over) 100mph. To palm it with your barehands and then catch it is super impressive. Haven't seen many fielders do it.

[@paulcaswell2813]

@@theooberholzer3734 They were part of a 'normal day in the office' for Jonty. The man was a genius.

[@gamortie]

6:50 as with the previous catch, if you are heading over the boundary, but release the ball before you land over it, and the ball is caught again inside the boundary, that’s out. If you touch the ground while holding the ball outside the boundary, it’s a 6; if you touch the ball while in the air, it’s still live.

[@TomAtkinson-gq2wx]

Hey John the catch you said should not be there was very good coz the catcher could not see the ball until late coz the keepers body was blocking his view of the ball

[@GhostDaDog]

Love your videos. Thank you for putting in the time to make them.

[@paulcaswell2813]

The one at 11:00 was a miracle. Totally unsighted behind the keeper. One of the greatest catches I've ever seen. Up there with Botham's 'doing his shoelace up' instantly turned into a brilliant slip catch.

[@charliew4823]

Johnny you are impressed by the outfield catches {they relate more to baseball catches} but some of the best reaction catches are taken in the slips the guys standing next to the wicket keeper he's the only one with gloves so he's easy to spot.

[@jayantcahale]

Remember that fielder was blindfolded by the batsman and the wicket keeper.. He hardly had 0.2 sec to see the ball and catch it..

[@relevantbrother8964]

Some of the toughest catches are those in close ones eg the wicketkeeper taking a catch off a thick edge whilst standing up to the stumps..to someone who hasnt played cricket it might not appear as impressive as other catches but it most definitely is.

[@lalaland0417]

The catch where the fielder from first slip catchs a tickle down the leg side is amazing because it is something that you just dont see. If there is no leg slip then any potential catches down the leg side are normally the wicket keepers responsibility. This guy takes this catch with limited ability to visually track the ball, low down to his left in a feilding postion that he is not even fielding in.

[@TheManavj999]

Great video johnny. Have a great weekend johnny. Thxs for being a great person here KZbin videos

[@berranari1]

Johnny was not impressed with Jonty Rhodes jumping up catch but he loved the next catch in the video diving across. Which was also by Jonty Rhodes. 😂 I said, "There you go Johnny B! You asked and Jonty delivered!" Jonty was the best fielder!

[@user-bi8wp6wy3l]

As an Aussie I loved watching Jonty Rhodes his reflexes, his run outs and his catches were amazing.

[@anthonypirera7598]

Hi Johnny great video and I can't believe that there is a couple of catches by The English cricket team

[@theooberholzer3734]

LOL! And yes, Jonty was the greatest fielder to have ever played the game.

[@paulcaswell2813]

@@theooberholzer3734 We need a similar upload of Jonty's greatest run-outs.

[@donepearce]

When a ball is being caught, it is considerd "alive" until the umpire is convinced that it is fully under the conrol of the fielder. At that point it is dead until it is next bowled. If the ball is caught close to the boundary, and the fielder steps over the boundary while holding the ball, the batsman is awarded six runs, and he is not out. That is why the fielder will throw the ball in the air while he gets himself back inside the boundary.

[@shmick6079]

Carry the ball over the rope and it’s 6 runs.

[@ImGodTheMaryBanger]

If I remember correctly it's only 6 if you touch the ground outside the boundary when catching but it's 4 if you catch it and step over the line. Does that sound right?

[@shmick6079]

@@ImGodTheMaryBanger I thought it was 6 but I could be mistaken.

[@ImGodTheMaryBanger]

@@shmick6079 I could be confusing the technicalities. I'm starting to think it's only 4 if the ball touches the ground and you step over the line while touching/holding the ball. This is going to keep me up at night 🤣

[@michaelstanton4059]

I think many cricket fans including myself would consider the one you werent impressed by to be the most impressive of the lot.

[@paulcaswell2813]

Agreed 100%

[@BayleyBlake]

Many great catches, but you could make a whole other video of amazing catches that are just as good and better over the years.

[@bok1080]

One that is worth looking at (not sure about the copyright status) would be Adam Gilchrist catches, Adam 'Gilly' Gilchrist was one of the best wicket keepers (equivalent to the Baseball catcher) and some of his catches where he 'stole' the catch from the slips fielder (fielder standing next to the wicket keeper) are classics.

[@AnarchistHaize]

You should check out the "caught on stump mic" series ep 1-3. It shows the banter & funny side of cricket

[@marveltv9924]

U are right there are thousands of better catches but yea there aren't really many great compilations available on KZbin

[@RO-vh8ln]

11:21 'That wasn't impressive!" Wrong!!! First slip moved with the shot, and basically caught it blind. Maybe not spectacular but still impressive, those shots usually go for 4 runs.

[@rocketrabble6737]

Speaking as someone who has retired after playing for more than forty years there a couple in there I felt I should comment on. From a technical point of view the Shahid Afridi catch at 9:00 was so good because there is so much calculation involved (they are bitches!) plus the catch behind the wicket at 10:53 was so terrific because he read the batsman's intentions from his first movements, crossed behind the keeper and then made the catch look easy with his weaker hand. The vast majority of players would never have seen it, read it, or had the nous to intercept it. The guys who field in close positions behind the wicket are exceptional catchers with amazing reflexes. The diving full stretch catches are great to take but generally I felt 'well I got there and so I ought to catch it". It is sort of equivalent to having a fielder close behind and to the right of a baseball catcher who gets across to the other side of the catcher to take the ball with no mitt in his weaker hand, and make it look simple.

[@user-bi8wp6wy3l]

Try fielding at silly mid on or silly mid off maybe 2 mtrs from the bat the ball is travelling at the same speed as a baseball after they hit it especially with a full swing of the bat = they still dont wear gloves. The position is not called silly without good reason, those guys need to wear extra padding and helmets just to field that close to the bat.

[@tommysaroda4446]

You want fast past action in cricket then indoor cricket is the go. It's played in doors in a confined area with nets all around.

[@alandoherty1332]

Th4at so so called " downer " catch was better than u think,. 💯👍💯👍😊

[@jayweb51]

If a fielder catches the ball in the air, but lands past the boundary, a boundary(4 runs) is scored; therefore fielders will always attempt to throw the ball back over the boundary before they land, and hope another fielder can catch it( or if good enough, get back over the boundary and re-catch the ball).

[@venderstrat]

We learnt to throw round arm like they do in baseball. Previously this was kind of frowned upon.

[@michaelfink64]

Great reactions, Johnny. I agree that the best ones are when they are stretched out in the air catching with one hand. I think you got the idea of catching near the boundary. You can't touch or step over the rope, so you might have to throw the ball up before you step over the boundary and catch it yourself inside the boundary or throw it to a team mate before you step over the boundary. If you do step on or over the boundary in attempting to take a catch, it is 6 runs.

[@II-SPONGE-II]

Don't you also have to be in midair yourself when you're trying to keep the ball in? hit it up and back on the inside of the boundary, you land, step back inside the boundary then take the catch?

[@michaelfink64]

@@II-SPONGE-II Yes, no part of your body can be touching the rope or the ground outside the rope while you are in possession of the ball.

[@utha2665]

If the fielder takes the ball over the boundary and he steps out of the field of play while in possession it will be 6 runs. That's why he threw it back into the field of play, stepped back in and took the catch, that is just great awareness and athleticism. That second last catch where the announcer said it was the best catch he has seen, he was in the moment and it is possible he meant the best catch he has seen live, or commentated to. They don't come along too often like that.

[@justlinsu]

Yes when the fielder catches the ball no part of his body should be touching the barrier, if he catches the ball and looks like stepping over it he can toss the ball up while in field and hope he can jump back in time to catch it... Here are 10 catches of my fav cricketer Glenn Maxwell. Enjoy this Johnny...Love from Australia kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX7OZIeZj6yYrpo

[@auslaner50]

G'Day Johnny. Loving your reviews. I am not trashing any sport, but when you get close up and realize that the clip on the bat and then away and it was caught may not have been the most spectacular, but it is like you said 'never take your eye off the ball' including if the ball hits the bat on the way through. The fieldsman caught it that's why it was out, the technical skill also applies. The athleticism with all sportsman is mind blowing! If the fieldsman knocks the ball back inside the boundary to prevent the score of "6" goes back into the field of play and caught, then it's out. Check out some BBL Big Bash League.. G'day ROCKO! super cute!

[@bramba1953]

Watch "That's gotta hurt: A collection of cricket's low blows" and you will be amazed as batsmen get hit in their most sensitive parts, as in cricket you are allowed to bowl at the body and hit it and it is up to the batsman to defend himself.

[@paulcaswell2813]

Brian Close (England) was hit so many times and he just carried on. The bowler expected him to be hurt (he probably was but never showed it) and Close just glared back and awaited the next delivery.

[@kazz3956]

If you catch an outfield ball, and hold the ball when you touch the ground over the boundary, it would not be out. So you would need to tap it back whilst in the air to the in field, and catch it again or have another fielder in play to complete the catch. Since the game is more than 100 years old I am sure that there would be other speckies (Aussie slang for a spectcuar catch).

[@solreaver83]

When you catch the ball you can't be across the rope with ball in hand and touching the ground or it's a 6. That's why they throw it while mid air then catch it safely inside the rope.

[@tomoliver2961]

Dunning-Kruger personified.

[@Katrinagaming-en1os]

Hi Johnny. 😀 It's great to see you enjoying cricket. 🏏 In cricket, if a fielder's touching the ball and a part of his body is touching the boundary then the batter scored a 4 or 6. And the batter can *not* be out caught. But, they can jump over it but they must not be touching the ball when they land outside the boundary. You should see the catch that Travis Head took in the world cup final. And imagine the context of the game. But before that you are going along well with your cricket learning. You have come along way with cricket. I will find you a link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ7Mh4qFbMaVbposi=PKErA1E3f2Ajk8dE this is another fielding video..run outs 😮 I love how you feel passionately about the catches being good and not so good. Johnny is always going to be Johnny. 😂 ❤ I wanted to point out to you that you didn't get that the close in catches need fast reflexes. The reaction time is a lot less. But it is not important at this point. Just keep on watching the game and you will pick up everything. Hi Rocco! 🐕🐾

[@michaellincoln3739]

Yes you can't catch a guy out if your foot is over the boundary because it would be a foul. He tipped it back in field so that it was a legitimate catch.

That's second one where the guy caught it over the line he actually threw it while in the air to his team mate because if he had of landed on the ground the catch wouldn't count and would actually be 6 runs. Edit: you asked about the guy going over the barrier, it would have been 4 runs if he did (4 because his foot was planted inside the line, 6 if his foot first landed over the boundary (barrier)

This is the best catch I have ever seen. When you are fielding at 1st slip to ball comes very fast making it almost impossible to catch a ball behind you. The batsman here was also late cutting the ball which means it is travelling even faster. Mark Waugh makes it look almost easy in this catch.
