Or one (or two) that was/were caught between the knees by the fielder ?

remember reading about a man taking a catch on a hillside groud and falling off the cliff to his death in 1800s.. dont know if it was a FC game...

Did he have "complete control over the further disposition of the ball" when he fell ?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

One England batsman - Tresco I think - was caught off a full blooded sweep a couple of years ago in Sri Lanka when the ball stuck in the fielders shirt. There was also one in the early 80's which went from Bob Taylor's gloves to Graham Gooch's boot was scooped up by Taylor one handed and caught by Gooch. There was also the Mike Gatting one where Shakeel Khan dived full length to take the catch....unusual because he was the umpire.

5 Alf Gover 1946
Gover was best known for running a cricket clinic, though his most memorable catch will not be found in any coaching manual. Surrey were playing Hampshire in 1946 during the Kingston festival. After finishing an over, he took his place at short leg as Jim Laker bowled to Rodney Exton. Gover was pulling his sweater over his head as Exton hit a shot in his direction. The ball hit the legs of the unsighted fielder, who instinctively caught it between his thighs.

I am thinking of something which happened twice in 2005, not once before, not once after till now. What is it?

What happened guys? No participation? No asking of questions? Should I make the question a bit easier letting off some clues?...Or should I make the question more specific?
