I love good catches, but both these are the same? Are you trying to catch us out?

Probably not if you are talking to your pet cricket. :smile:

Or this one in a Lancs v Yorks match.

BTW Bob H isn't an oxymoron calling a rugby match (with heavy protective clothing) football?

Especially when you spend the whole time holding or throwing a football, as opposed to ever kicking it.

:shame: I just couldn't help myself.

Y'all are correct about American football. I'm no fan of the game preferring Australian rules football and rugby over it by far. Even soccer is a much better game.

Not really.
I think my first match was for "Greg Marsh" (which would greatly annoy "Rod Chappell"), but I found the clip i wanted to see.
Then I did a correct search for Rod Marsh and got the same clip.
I wanted to watch the slow-motion twice, so I made two links.

P.S. The only "non-stop" trip from Toronto to CapeTown involves flying first to JFK. I think that travel agents are a very strange breed ...

Only for those who don't understand the rudiments of the game industry. :hello:
This article comes with pictures, and IMNSHO is marred only by the repeated use of the exact same phrase "the exact same amount of runs".

I prefer this explanation

Except that it doesn't mention that when one team is in until it's out, then the other team is also in until it's out, that's an innings.

I agree. I had not realized how much thinking went into a professional game of cricket until (1980) I was asked - by my Canadian wife - to explain what was going on.
What I had previously seen as long boring placement of fielders disappeared after we watched the bowler hand wave a fielder " ... no, a bit more to your left, bit more, now back, back, back, hold it there!".

Bowled.

Batsman snicked the ball directly into the fielder's hands!
