#1 Rodney Marsh stunner in the World Cup semi-final, 1975
Arguably the greatest catch by a wicket-keeper in cricket history was taken by Australia's legendary wicket-keeper Rodney Marsh in the World Cup semi-final of 1975. What makes this so memorable is the difficulty involved in pulling it off and of course, the small matter of the game being a World Cup semi-final against his team's arch rivals.
The bowler, Gary Gilmour, was left-handed, which would have made it difficult for Marsh to follow the entire path of the ball. But even though Marsh might have lost the ball for a millisecond while it reached the batsman, he was still able to dive to his right and take the catch that was meant for first slip.
It would be hard to find a better catch than this one.
