Pure World Cup Magic….

March 20, 2007

The video starts with David Lloyd referring to the favorable conditions for bowling and how Wasim Akram, Andy Caddick, Darren Gough and others might have enjoyed themselves….. as Malichi Jones sets off purposefully to deliver his first ball in World Cup Cricket to Robin Uthappa (playing his second World Cup match).

A ponderous poke from Utthapa sends the ball flying to the right of Dwayne Leverock – hidden away at a widish slip by Gus Logie’s Bermudans. Leverock executes a swan like dive – side on at all times and comes up with the ball – all hell breaks lose. I think David Lloyd forgot who Wasim Akram was at that point.

Dwayne Leverock takes the Catch of the World Cup

Every possible scene is played out – from the winning goal in the World Cup final, to an exhilarating sprint victory… Leverock and Jones encapsulated in that moment the very joy of sport…. all of you must have heard about it, but i promise you, even if you watch it a hundred times, it will still retain its magic.

And what a catch that was!
