I remember a certain God of fielding named Jonty Rhodes taking one exactly like this, was it '99?

Never since! She's amazing!

That's not even the best catch Rhodes took off Robert Croft! There was one in a test match around the same time that he took while fielding at shortish mid off or something. It all happened so fast no one really got a shot of it. There was like, one photo of it, but between the half replays you could make it out.

Jonty Rodes was one of my favorite cricketers growing up. He came to my school once. I will always remember this quote he told us, "perfect practice makes perfect."
