Re: Substitute fielder

I know it's not quite as interesting as the international stuff (which
was a damn nice read), but I think one of my best outfield catches was
as a substitute for my opposition.

Chasing a low total (180ish), we'd lost about 7 wickets, with only one
batsman scoring runs (he was on 80ish).

They needed a sub, I volunteered, and about 2 overs later I caught the
in-form batsman out with a 1-handed superman dive. I remember thinking
when I was in the air "should I catch this?" Next thing I knew I was
looking at the ball securely in my hand...

Because years of playing made the "go for the catch" action become instinctive.
