Roshan Mahanama - Flying Catch - New Zealand v Sri Lanka at Sharjah 1996

[JamisBanda]

Chandana was a very safe fielder ,But I cant think of any spectacular catches he held . Maybe because he fielded outside the circle most of the time. Mahanama was the best of the best we had so far.

Yeah agree when it comes to catching we've had none to beat Mahanama!

[SimplePass]

i think it's a time between dilshan and mahanama with dilly coming out on top with his throwing and speed.

[Dilz]

Roshan was a spectacular catcher.did he hav a srong throwing arm?was he a v good ground fieder?I cant really remember

Out of fast bowlers - Vaas was v good of his own bowling and a v safe catcher

Kula - handy medium pacer he is prolly the one of the fielders who bowls fast - good throw,good ground fielder,usually a safe catcher

Spearman 2 0f 24,Better than Lord's 3 of 28?

He was a very good ground fielder but wasn't the best thrower IIRC. Was pretty good within the circle when it comes to hitting the stumps.We would always remember him for his catching.

yeah i dont recall mahanama being particularly quick or having a strong arm. in that sense chandana was a superior all round fielder than mahanama.

Hashan is also a very good catcher.
