Tip of the Week #3

A small but effective tip for a fielder:

“While taking the catches near the boundary line make sure that you are at least one meter distance from the rope and you are not stretching your body backwards too much. This can make you when when you’ll try to catch the ball. Stand on your position, look the ball carefully and then jump in a bit forward direction towards the ball.”

If you want to see a demo, try to think of David Hussey’s catch in IPL 2010. You’ll definitely get the basic idea.

David Hussey, probably one of the best batsman of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL. Now, it won’t be shocking to say him the best fielder in IPL after he took Paul Collingwood’s catch in KKR vs DD match. David used his presence of mind and saved not only the 6 run but took a brilliant catch which is now an historical catch.

Though Kolkata lost the match but David’s catch is something which can cheers the people of Kolkata and even Australia.

There is a video available of his catch at Youtube.
