    One handed classic catch

    Monday January 15, 2007
    By ninemsn staff


    Cricket fan Paul Houeix says he was just trying to grab a friend's attention when he caught a six while still talking on a mobile phone during Friday's night's one-day cricket match at the MCG.

    Houeix, who was taking his young son to his first game of cricket, managed to catch the six hit by Adam Gilchrist with one hand.

    "As it was coming down I said 'mate it's coming towards me, I think I might catch this' ," Houeix told the Nine Network.

    "I was just jumping up and down and saying 'mate I caught it, I caught it, can you see me?' "

    Houeix said he was then inundated by phone calls and texts from friends and family who had seen his catch on TV.

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    Considering so many had already been dropped in the crowd, I reckon it was a cracker, should put it up for the Classic Catches segment
