While the dropped catch reminded many of Pakistani fielders, others dubbed it as the ‘best dropped catch’ in the history of gully cricket.
Pakistani fielders have had their fair share of memorable moments in cricket, pulling off some brilliant catches and missing out on easy ones. So, when a video of a dropped catch went viral on social media, it quickly reminded cricket fans of the Pakistani fielders who have built a reputation for their occasional slip-ups.

“We have a winner. The best dropped catch in village cricket history!” reads the caption to the video shared on X (formerly Twitter). The video, which is from a village league match between Sanderstead Cricket Club vs Merton, shows Sanderstead’s Stuey Elleray juggling the ball not once or twice, but a total of seven times before ultimately dropping the catch. The moment was so dramatic that even the commentator couldn’t stop himself from saying, “That’s gonna be the best juggle ever.”

A fourth asked, “Does that count as one dropped catch or six?”
“Tribute to Pakistani fielding,” wrote a fifth.
A sixth joined, “Bro tried soo hard to drop it and succeeded at the end.”
Sanderstead secured a decisive victory by chasing down a target of 240 in just 30.3 overs, winning by eight wickets. Despite Barber’s unbeaten 117, it wasn’t enough, as every top-five batsman from Sanderstead played well, leading to a dominant performance for the hosts.
