@NTA said in 2019 Cricket ODI WC:
It was a bloody good catch, but hardly the greatest ever. That is just Nasser Hussain talking shit from a nervous English commentary box
It was weird technique, despite batting left handed he obviously doesn't rate his ability to catch left handed. Great grab though.

The Stokes catch is a lot better than that one because of the faster velocity the ball is travelling off Phehlukwayo's bat.
Well yeah but I took into account professional cricketer at his peak vs League has been.
Fatty wins that battle of the rangas.
-
why cant it just be one of the greatest catches?
Looks awesome, but have been others that look equally awesome?

@sparky said in 2019 Cricket ODI WC:
@NTA If an Aussie had caught that you would be calling it one of the great catches of all time.
Stokes' effort would struggle to crack the top 5 of just Australian catches.
The fact he made it look a lot more difficult that it was by going off-handed is by the by.

@sparky even Stoke doesn't think it was his best:
Stokes claims Ashes catch was better | cricket.com.au
The England allrounder believes his classic catch in the World Cup opener wasn't even his best
But Stokes claimed he preferred his stunning one-handed grab of an Adam Voges edge in the gully during a 2015 Ashes Test against Australia at Trent Bridge.
Asked if it was the greatest catch of his life, Stokes told reporters: "Nah, that one was against the Aussies, so that one ranks higher!"
See? Everything is better in cricket with Australia involved.

It take a COLOSSAL piston wristed gibbon to post that on a kiwi board.
Hats off to you sir.

Know your audience.
But does anyone here seriously think Stokes' effort was better than this?
Or this?
RIcky Ponting probably has at least 5 catches better than last night. Most of them infield, where the best catches are usually taken.

Without a hint of kiwi bias I think Boults effort is one of the best I ever recall seeing.
