Shady Slim

International Coach
in football we call it the theatric save
stocks rallying in shady slim pty ltd for this one

i remember a comment from washington capitals goaltender braden holtby who once said he hated when he made a highlight reel save and got a big heap of praise for it from the media, because the only reason you have to make a big lunge is because you're out of position to begin with.

obviously it's a bit different in ice hockey vs cricket because in ice hockey you're protecting the goal whereas to take a catch you've got to go to where ever the ball is, but i often think about that when i see a highlight reel catch behind the stumps or from the cordon
