The Best World Cup Catches: Jacob Oram c&b Muralidharan

Murali has often been targeted by his coach Tom Moody as a bit of a laggard on the field which has rightly fired him up. He is now often electric in the field and has become a fine catcher.


This one sent back Jacob Oram (1) who was deceived by a doosra (2) and ended up mishitting it to Murali's right (3). Murali dove and made the ball stick (4), juggled it a few times between his hands (5) before indicating a clean take by holding up the ball for the umpire (6).
