Catch of the Century

I already had a blog entry or two about Shane Warne's "Ball of the Century". Now I've got a real treat for you: Nathan Astle's "Catch of the Century".

There's a good description here, by a New Zealand reporter. But here's my own description:

Dwayne Smith of the West Indies hit a towering six which would have landed at least 3 feet beyond the boundary had not Nathan Astle 1) run to the boundary (not sure where he was when he started) 2) stopped inside the boundary without losing sight of the ball 3) turned sideways 4) leaped straight up, vey high 5) caught the ball one-handed with his arm outstretched 6) using his other arm and leg for balance, landed on one foot, in bounds 7) brought the other foot down in bounds.

Wow!
