Wow, I reckon that was the best catch I have ever seen
FOr those who havent seen it, leapt up at full stretch and took the ball one handed and still managed to stay inside the boundary, unbelievable

Any video of it?
Am remindedof the Adam Dale screamerfor the Bulls against NSW in the Merc Mut in either 1997 or 1998
Or Tank's unreal snags in closeduring the Shield final of 97 in Perth....

Was amazing. Rate it very very highly. Alongside Adam Dale's.

Unbelievable. Haven't seen it but looks far better than Pontings at the SCG this year which I thought was a bit overrated. Husseys catch vs RSA at the Gabba was the best for me or Bravo's c+b on Warne.
Surely somebody can find some video of the catch?

Are you kidding?!? Have you ever caught a cricket ball? Try catching like all 3 did and see which is harder!!!

Bravos then, caught and bowleds are the most difficult, unless you are the Freak :)

They are hard when they are hit hard! That was bloooooped up to the side of him! I guess its a Ponting thing though... :D

Sinclair's is still the greatest.
Hmmm very good catch...
Nothing overly special I dont think.

Or Andy Bichel.
Pfft,, Bichel claims caught and bowleds that bounce a metre in front of him.
Sinclair > Pontings catch quite easily. And Husseys.
Definately. Personally, I think Collingwood's off Hayden was better than Sinclair's, but only because of the reaction time.

I'm not having a go at Ponting's catch he is a superb fielder just saying I thought calling it the 'best ever' was a bit far.
