Cricket IPL: Kieron Pollard takes stunning catch at the boundary line

I spent a good 45 minutes this weekend watching videos and trying to understand how Cricket is played.

Was that Jobu?

Barbed wire around the field

Posted by bbap yeah. i mean he may have a good vertical but nothing in that video proves it. dont get me wrong that was a sweet play though.

I don't know man. 38"? Maybe not I guess. But he looked pretty athletic in everything he did there. The leap for the one-handed catch, then the dive at the end to catch the ball again.... very wide receiver-esque.

You're really reaching in trying to argue athleticism with Cricket players - and he's about one foot off the ground.

So, the ball can go out of bounds but your feet can't touch when you're out while holding the ball, but you can throw the ball back in bounds and catch it?

I'm very ignorant of the sport but it sounds like a rule a 10 year old would come up with.

Just like the NFL touchback rules on a punt?

It would be pretty awesome to see someone catch a punt in the endzone while in mid-air, throw it back in bounds, run back in bounds, and catch it.

Gunners on the kicking team jump from just outside the goal line and throw balls back into the field to down them inside the 3 regularly.

They don't catch them in mid air in the endzone, throw them back 5 yards, run back onto the field, and catch them.

Honey Badger would do some shite like this!

He might be the ONE guy.

I know very little about cricket, but any sport that allows you to wear an electric blue cowboy hat must be pretty frickin awesome.
