At my advanced age of 56 I still reckon I would catch that ball, lobbed to gulley.

Do the BBC think we are stupid?

It was a good catch. I'd expect any professional sportsman ( or woman! ) to take it. At 54 I would back myself to take it, full bank!

Some people can catch, some professional cricketers can't! KP had hard hands syndrome for a while.

But would Mrs Death take that catch?

The BBC have an agenda with ALL womens sport.We are all supposed to embrace it when in reality 99% is total rubbish and i for one would not cross the street to watch it.That  "superb catch " is a prime example.It was average at best and most club players would snaffle it with ease.

I thought it was amazing and brave. A woman caught a ball. She could of been killed.

To be fair , the people of America might think it's fabulous that someone can catch a ball without a glove.

I would have caught that with my eyes closed, it was easy.

Commentator called it 'stupendous'. In the write up it was 'stunning'.

Make her a Dame and be done with it.

As you may know but perhaps do not remember but Mrs 'Death is American or was or still is sort of or will be again When President Chump is jailed.

I think you will be able to draw your answer from that!
