Just thought now that we had a thread for best ball bowled why not discuss about the best catches ever seen by you folks.
For me the one that pops up immediately (prolly cause I am an indian fan) is Jadeja's amazing runnning catch to dismiss Border in WC 92. That was Jadeja's way to announce himself to international cricket... I do not know whether he is a match-fixer or not (please don't discuss this in this thread) but the catch he took was simply magnificient.
Others that are equally stunning are
Gibbs catch to dismiss Tendulkar when India toured SA (Tendulkar had scored 169 and was in blazing form) The ball looked like crossing the fence but Gibbs plucked it out of thin air
Jonty's five catches against WI in mumbai... all were good...
McGrath took a great one against England I think near the boundary. The next days newspaper had photo of Mcgrath in mid-air and the caption read: "Pigeon flys"
